German electricity prices surge out of control, social instability threatens….German Chancellor assures police won’t open fire on demonstrators.
Sun and wind don’t send any electric bills, the green energy swindlers used to tell us.
Changing over to sun and wind energy would cost only one euro a month more, Germany’s former Environment Minister Jürgen Trittin once promised. All we had to do was accept their master plan.
Today the swindle is uncovering, and it may be too late to avert the massive damage that’s coming our way.
At Facebook, Helmut Bauer posted the most recent chart depicting Germany’s electricity rates for end-consumers. It’s a blood bath:
Electricity prices for German end-consumers, in eurocents per kilowatt-hour. Source: BDEW, Verivox.
What a mess; they’ve reached 41 cents a kilowatt-hour and it’s about to get much worse – especially for the people who can least afford it. Expect social unrest to boil over the months ahead as prices and shortages inflict pain on the poor. We’re in uncharted territory.
Hey, not to worry: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised that police will not open fire on demonstrators.
People will only realize their mistakes when they face actual consequences for being stupid. I’d bet quite a few Germans are now thinking “What was I thinking?”.
This is the best thing that could happen to Germany.
People come to their senses slowly, one by one.

When saving the earth, costs always go up. Obama said this quite clearly in his interview about green energy before he was elected. Since Joe Biden is nothing more than globalist Obama’s third term on display for everyone to see, what else did you expect?

Seems pretty simple. Western governments will soon nationalize energy companies, just like Venezuela did. Watch for corresponding tax increases. The next step will be access to your bank and investment accounts. Watch for wealth taxes.
This is what the greens wanted all along, comrade.
Wealth taxes are a direct tax and therefore unconstitutional. Wealth is not income which needed a constitutional amendment to levy. Good luck with amending the constitution to tax wealth.
Several major candidates for president campaigned on instituting a wealth tax. These days, they can always appoint a judge who will back even the most blatant violations of Constitutional rights.
Even if this doesn’t happen directly, they all know that when they keep printing money, it devalues the dollar and destroys savings even more effectively than a direct tax. 1970s-style inflation is their goal.
Even Obama, who thinks all this green idiocy is in fact brilliant policy, told his folks that this would be the outcome, that we would be impoverished by how expensive reliable energy would become. He said it with a grim on his face as if going hungry in the cold and dark was his benevolent gift to the voters.
Trump was the one who did everything he could to warn the euro brats off of this plan to no avail.
Ya got what ya voted for.
Just dropping a ‘marker’ here; we’ll see how all this turns out ‘down the road’ so to speak.
Home heating oil in New York has risen 65% in the last 6 months.
Home heating oil has risen 110% in the UK. Was about £0.40l and I had to buy at £0.95/l. Its all comeing bacxk down now though to the point (wholesale gas and oil) where Russia will not be able to fianace a war on it any more.
Butter is up 65%.
I am expecting that most raw agricultural products will double or treble over the winter…
There is a helpful way to look at all this. Let’s say we have two sorts of politicians – those who will say anything to get elected, and who believe that somehow the world will comply with their promises once they are in power, and those who will say anything to get elected, but do understand that the physical world runs on different rules, which must ultimately be respected.
That’s cheaper than green California, lol.
Oahu, Hawaii was 40 cents a kilowatt-hour until last week when the coal plant was closed. Immediately announced a 7% increase. We won!!
Unfortunately the government primarily, but corporate interests also, continue to promote disinformation that ‘green’ energy is just as cheap and viable as fossil fuels.
Apropos of certain Kremlin inspired comments down the page, let me post a couple of names of two YouTube bloggers – one a US ex military investor turned war analyst, and the other a Ukrainian commercial pilot whose understanding of what is going on, on the ground, is pretty good.

“Freeze in the Dark” can be a very educational experience for Germans who vote for green eco-fascist policies year after year by a 90% margin
