Now Germany Has a Green Electricity Outage With Huge Consequences

No sun. No wind. Hello Germany, care to rethink your Green New Deal?

Welt Business (translated from German, paywalled) reports Now Germany is experiencing a green electricity outage – with huge consequences

“The foggy weather of the last few days has brought green electricity production to a virtual standstill. Not only have particularly climate-damaging power plants been brought into operation as a replacement for wind and solar power, but prices have
also exploded. And all of this seems to be just a foretaste of winter.”

(usual description of ridiculous state of affairs with the Energiewende)

This was completely clear to anyone who could do math. And even though the signs of this were clear in 2012, in 2015 Germany made the final decision to shutter all nuclear. Oops.

It would be humorous except for the many deaths which have occurred and will continue to occur.

And besides that, global warming won't stop no matter how much greening is done. Carbon emissions can go to zero and the earth will continue getting
hotter and sea levels continue rising. This is a natural cycle. The most humans have done is accelerate the cycle by a few per cent. Not only that,
fossil fuels are only responsible for about 25% of the human portion, the rest is due to deforestation, burning the trees cut down, clearing lands for
development, etc., particularly in less developed countries.

However,. wind turbines and electric cars and such make libs feel like they've done something and it makes them feel good that they think they're
saving the world.
