From the YCMTSU files – “Greens” in Germany panic amidst rocketing electricity prices – float plan to switch back to coal to ensure a baseload supply
A leaked document reveals a trial balloon floated by Germany’s Economy Minister Tobert Habeck of the Green Party to provide a reliable source of “baseload” electricity for Germans suffering from the energy poverty of lunatic “Net Zero” targets.
Ut should be dawning on all voters around the world by now that “Net Zero” means the impoverishment of the bottom 60% of lower income earners – permanently – and the imposition of debt slavery -forever. No escape should you wish for the simple things in life. Higher energy, higher raw material costs, higher food prices and higher prices for, well, the bare necessities of life.
No more of this!
From here:
Germany To Rely on Coal to Avoid Blackouts • Watts Up With That?
“It was the big project for the green transformation of electricity generation in Germany – and perhaps the most dazzling energy policy project of Germany’s coalition government: After the nuclear phase-out and the targeted coal phase-out as early as possible, natural gas would serve as a bridge technology – towards a new, green electricity world in Germany.
This bridge was to a new electricity world in which renewable energy, especially sun and wind, set the pace. Angela Merkel had already marked this ‘turnaround’ as Chancellor. As “backup” for the dark doldrums, i.e. when the sun doesn’t shine enough and the wind doesn’t blow enough, new, highly efficient and, according to Economics Minister Habeck’s wishes, ideally hydrogen – in the future natural gas power plants would step to secure power supply.”
“Don’t waste your time looking for things that just can’t be found” or don’t make any sense.
Turns out US Liquified Natural FAs (LNG) is sticking in the craw of the Greens.
“But first things first: The Ukraine war quickly made it clear that natural gas for Germany was essentially only available via pipeline from Norway or in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Chemically speaking, LNG is natural gas, but it is liquid and 162 degrees cold. But it’s also pretty expensive and pretty dirty (sic).”
“In the USA, LNG is obtained through fracking, then has to be cooled down to minus 162 degrees using a lot of energy, and then transported laboriously and with high CO2 emissions across the world’s oceans and on tanker ships that use heavy oil and refinery waste as fuel.”
“Then came the budget crisis. The Federal Ministry of Economics told members of the Bundestag’s Energy Committee that the Power Plant Strategy had been “shelved for the short term”. In the new plans for the federal budget, with adjustments announced on Wednesday, the financial resources for the strategy have been postponed by two years.
So, it’s essential for the next election period. Whether the strategy will return and what it may look like is more questionable than ever. It is now clear that this has apparently initiated a shift that could have existential significance for the Greens in the federal government.”
Reminiscent of a quote:
When Mike Tyson was asked by a reporter whether he was worried about Evander Holyfield and his fight plan he answered, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
More punches in the mouth, nose, eyes, solar plexus needed to send the chicken little proponents with their “The end of the world is nigh” electronic sandwich boards displaying their “cartoon science”.
Remember:
“Greens” do not believe in science; they believe in an anti-human Cult.
There is no climate crisis!!!
I wonder if anyone will ask the “Greens” what temperature they consider “acceptable”. Is it a global average temperature measured using devices that they locate in city hot-spots – or is a permitted range of temperatures in Stockholm, Zurich, Maputo, Rio, Anchorage, or is it that temperature where glaciers have constant surface area and mass – or maybe its when the average rainfall per month fluctuates within half an inch of averages per month for the last ten years, or twenty or fifty years in Bootle or Southern California or Osaka?
Onwards!
