Germany’s Energiewende Nightmare: Grid Collapse Looms Due To Erratic Wind And Solar

Humans are meant to learn from history and mistakes, right?

Then why do we continue down the feel-good, unreliable, costly, weather dependent energy path??

Is the virtue-signalling pastime of “Saving The Planet” that important as to destroy people’s lives and wreck economies?!

And again, keep in mind that every time an industrial wind or solar plant is installed, a corresponding fossil fuel plant has to be created or cranked up to cover the grid instability for when the wind don’t blow or when the sun don’t shine!

Where’s the “CO2” savings in that? There are none of course, they simply increase with the production, installation and maintenance of wind and solar plants, on an industrial scale!

Climate feel-good insanity on stilts.

STOP THESE THINGS

It’s the paradox of the German Energiewende (transition to green energy): power exchange market prices are lower than ever before, yet consumers are paying the highest prices ever – with no stop in the increases in sight. Moreover, the more green electricity that is fed into the grid, the more coal that gets burned.

Communist-quality state planning
If today’s German power grid sounds like a horror story of communist state-planned management, it is because it is in…
