Having closed their last nuclear plants early this year, they have no choice for reliable base power. Lignite btw is the most polluting of all the fossil fuels. Halfway between coal and peat. But it’s what they have, along with wood.

Germany’s energy problem began long before Biden. It was Merkel who set them up for a continuing crisis, along with her green allies.

Sing with me! Like those old "The New Christy Minstrels...."

Green, green, it's green they say
On the far side of the hill.
Green, green, but then in time
That coal seems greener still....

Small nuke plants with safer fuels. And hydrogen.

How much pain and suffering not mention expense did Merkel and her merry band of globalists cause the German people? She and many in her administration should pay the ultimate price for their attempt to subjugate the folks to the Green agenda.

I think the Germans still have a few nukes in operating condition. Time to get them going ... winter is just around the corner.

These are the grandchildren of the Heer Wehrmacht who froze on the Russian front. They grew up hearing the stories. They know that cold kills better than bullets. Given the choice between freezing to death or Gaia worship, it's a no brainer.

“Mayor Adams came around on immigrants. Should we credit him?”

Sure, we should credit ANYONE who helps the country.

Not to mention the nuclear generated electrical power they are buying from France, since the Germans shut down all their nuke plants in a sop to the radical enviro-nutz.

Angela, you were NOT that good a chancellor.

> He [Biden] doesn’t want a wall, he wants to appear as though he wants a wall <

Absolutely correct. There will be no wall, except for perhaps a mile or two stretch that will be featured on the nightly news.

On either side of that short barrier, nothing. Viewers won’t be seeing that, of course.
