Paul-Louisthe
06/12/2022 at 11:26The Head of State denounced the authorities and public companies which are beginning “to scare people with absurd scenarios”.
“Stop all that”. While RTE warned of possible power cuts this winter, Emmanuel Macron reframed this Tuesday “the authorities and public companies” whose role “is not to transfer fear or to govern by fear”.
“The role of government, ministers, operators, is to do their job to provide energy, that’s all. And then to call everyone to responsibility so that there is sobriety. It’s not to start scaring people with absurd scenarios and things like the ones I’ve heard in recent hours”, the head of state said on his arrival in Tirana (Albania). for a European summit.
“Fear scenarios, not for me!”
“We are a great country, we have a great energy model,” continued Emmanuel Macron, assuring that “we will hold out this winter despite the war. So I ask everyone to do their job”.

When future historians write about the destruction of Western energy security, President Macron of France will have a starring role as Europe’s green energy clown.
Macron over the years has performed bizarre green publicity stunts, such as offering US climate scientists €1.5 million to defect to France, or staging a mock state visit with US actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss global climate policy. In his first term of office he spoke of wanting to govern like a Roman God.
But if the lights go out this winter in Europe, nobody will be laughing at the French funny man.
yeah the only folks that are allowed to scaremonger are Marcon and his global warming pals …
Words fail, they really do – its almost a “Let them eat cake” moment
But, timing is everything, look what the GWPF have just put out..
Headline“London, 8 December – A new paper from Net Zero Watch argues that climate alarmists are waging psychological warfare on the public.

Maybe Macron could read it while waiting for his appointment with Mme La Guillotine……
Time for an update on 1789
The irony is mind blowing. Create a death cult movement by ramping up fear, implement self-destructive policies because of this fear, and then tell people to stop instilling fear when those policies actually threaten real harm.
Isn’t this the same guy who’s government is telling us that we are going to die if we don’t stop emitting CO2?
Yes, that’s the same scaremonger.
A scaremonger complaining that others are scaremongering.
Intermittent/unreliable/renewable Green blight.
If he had made the same comments in relation to the promotion of climate porn we might be getting somewhere.
For one thing, stopping the climate scare stories would allow a proper focus on how to provide cheap and resilient energy supply. The prospect of that would be enough to lower prices, and reduce the risks of blackouts too. It would mean things like running coal as baseload across Europe (thus saving gas for when it’s needed most).
france probably isnt too bad due to its huge nuclear percentage. except for the shockingly illegal build quiality of the pressure components of course.
“It’s not to start scaring people with absurd scenarios”
Like all the climate catastrophe scenarios?
Also, will he absolve them of responsibility if they fail to warn (per his request) and what they’re saying actually happens? (Unlike those scientists who were prosecuted for failing to warn about an earthquake)
Is this the same French Government recently urging citoyens to conserve electricity because half the nuclear fleet (which normally provide 80% of load) are under repair through delayed/neglected maintenance and things are so bad that in order to guarantee supply the Government will renationalise EDF, the owner of the nukes and so skint it can’t afford to replace the aging fleet with new installations?
And the same Government constantly spewing out propaganda about climate change and coming doom?
“The Head of State denounced the authorities and public companies which are beginning “to scare people with absurd scenarios”.”
Right, because it is the job of governments, the UN, NGO’s and all the relevant members of the Kmer Vert “to scare people with absurd scenarios”.
Absolutely amazing, this level of lack of self awareness in Macron is approaching Trudeau type levels.
