One might say that the timing could not be worse for the implementation of “net zero” climate goals given the already boiling economic instability across the western world. Then again, maybe the timing is perfect for the people in power?
With stagflation still running rampant in the US and Europe the last thing anyone should be worried about is a less than 1°C rise in global temperatures in the past 100 years. There is no concrete evidence of any significant climate crisis, and all the people who tell us a crisis is right around the corner do so while raking in billions in funding dollars from governments and think-tank institutions with a vested interest in reinforcing the hysteria. In other words, there is no basis for exponential restrictions on “greenhouse gas” emissions. The climate crisis claim is a sham.
When the policies of the climate cult are examined with a clear head, it becomes obvious that saving the planet is not a primary concern. Rather, the purpose of the agenda is to increase power to government bureaucracies on a level not seen since the feudal empires of centuries past. Get ready for the return of the peasant lifestyle…
One factor that consistently arises in the fight over climate change mandates is the increasing need for energy clashing with deliberate cuts to the means of production. Establishment elites want restricted energy access for the public, and they want people to pay more for each slice of the ever shrinking pie. A perfect example of this dynamic is the widespread effort by such governments to shut down nuclear power plants, one of the cleanest forms of energy we have from the standpoint of carbon emissions.
Germany, already in the midst of an energy shortfall due to the loss of natural gas supplies from Russia, has also just closed its last three operational nuclear power plants this past week, leaving the nation high and dry when it comes to easy accessible electricity. Germany has some of the highest residential electricity prices in all of Europe and they are about to explode even more in the near term.
As energy prices rose last year as a result of the Ukraine conflict, certain members of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government became hesitant to close the nuclear plants as planned on December 31, 2022. Scholz agreed to a one-time extension of the deadline but insisted on the final countdown taking place on April 15.
Alongside the closure of the nuclear plants, German multinational electric utility E.ON increased its prices by as much as 45% starting June 1.
HOURS BEFORE CLOSING REACTOR, GERMAN UTILITY ANNOUNCES 45% PRICE RISE
As Eon closed nuclear, by far its cheapest reliable power, it announced a big jump for many customers from what are already some of Europe's highest prices.

“In parts of NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia), the new price is 49.44 cents gross per kilowatt hour, which means an adjustment of around 45 percent for an average consumption,” said a spokesman for Eon Energie in Germany.
Ironically, shortages last winter compelled the German government to increase coal fired power plant operations, yet they are still shutting down clean energy nuclear plants to make way for so-called renewables. If climate change initiatives don’t seem to be making much sense these days, its because there is no logic behind them other than to create incremental chaos. The confusion over conflicting green policies makes way for notoriously inefficient wind and solar power farms that cannot sustain the existing population, but it also allows for a global political power grab on an unprecedented scale.

What if they’re shutting them down so they don’t explode during a planned ‘ reset ‘ type event ? Would explain the otherwise seeming insane actions.
Nordstream 2.0 ?
Russia has employed extensive cyberattacks and electronic warfare against space systems in Ukraine, which provides an example of how counterspace weapons can and will likely be used in future conflict, writes @CSIS
Good point Klingon.
Controlled shut-down before planned events cause a messy melt-down.
WHY, is there a need for any of these power plants to be connected to the internet in any way?? Making them prone to hacking. Asking for a fren
They usually are isolated. BUT they need power to cool the fuel rods.
If the larger grid goes down , backup generators only have so much fuel to keep that water pumping.
To save 1/10th of 1 % in personell costs???
Not just power plants … but all infrastructure … all utilities … and most companies …
It isn’t about net zero emissions. It is about negative net zero people.
Germans are getting what they have asked for. They have been programmed to ask for it for almost 80 years. That is no excuse. They had better wake up before they are dead.
Non-conformists are not common in Germany. I’ve long said that if Germans and Austrians had to wait for a “walk” light to cross a street, they’d die of old age standing on the corner if the light never said “walk”.
I agree. One can be too law abiding.
You have that right “Call me Jack”. I think they call them “sheeple”.
Hi trust is a virtue among a people until a hostile force rules them.
At this point the people in Germany and America are living under the same conditions caused by the same people. We are all living under occupied governments controlled by foreigners.
Boy, I certainly can’t see the European powers, WEF-controlled German “leadership,” etc. creating the kind of horrible conditions (or worse) that precipitated the rise of a strongman to address the issues as happened in the 1930s. LOL
Yup.
Not to worry, Germany will increase import of energy from France.
In Finland, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is either almost completed or has already started up. Made by Siemens.
France has it’s own issues.
Bakeries are shutting down as the profit on bread is tiny and the cost of power is up 5X in less than three years.
They can’t power Europe.
I was kinda half sarcastic. The irony of shutting down nuclear power plants in Germany and try to replace it by “clean energy”, which will not even be close to enough to power a (formerly) industrial power house, just to turn around and import nuclear power from you neighboring country…
“They can’t power Europe.”
Fact is, only Russia can power Europe.
Prolly a good time to invest in any German company that makes sweaters, although they probably import their sweaters from China so maybe not. This is not investment advise. I make no representations as to the financial security of any sweater makers be they German or Chinese.
People are going to learn one way or another to lower their energy consumption. The cost will prohibit anyone from using it for anything other than what is essential. Get ahead of the curve and learn how to lower your electricity bills. Doing this is essential to combat Climate Change.

My contribution to the climate change battle is starting forest fires. I’m on the other side from Greta.
All the people who believe in the Climate Scam got their Covid injections. Weird how its the same people pushing both. Anyway, they’ll all be dead soon and we’ll have plenty of energy then.
My dog loves to come on “road trips” with me and goes everywhere I go. We live in Florida and its too hot to just leave the windows open so I leave the SUV running with the air conditioning on for him. Sometimes we go food shopping and I’ll be in the store for an hour or more. Its also really nice to get out of the heat and into a nice, cool car instead of having to wait a minute for the AC to kick in.
I had an old German cunt when I was living on Staten Island say to me ,”this place isn’t a paradise “. Lol no shit you ignorant twat, then I asked her so why was she here. Turns out she married a GI after WW2 . I guess she figured it was better that sucking cock for chocolate and nylon panty hose.
You are a bad man Iggy. Very bad. Totally damn accurate,but very bad.
Small hats and/or women in charge???
Let’s not overlook the fact that what’s happening in Europe we’ll be dealing with here in the US shortly.
California has plans to shut down the last nuclear plant in 2025, there is some debate whether that will happen, but for the most part the politicians in the US are following the play book as the idiot politicians in Europe.
It just seems insane.
The Germans seem it be in an experiment to see how much they will take before they go postal. Perhaps they have a new Führer waiting in the wings to see if they can repeat history….
Sounds like Germany discovered a more pressing need for all that uranium. Wonder what could be more important than keeping their lights on? Perhaps putting someone else’s lights OUT?
(((They))) hate all Gentiles … with special hatred for Germans and Russians for more than 100 years …
And, of course, they’ve bent US over the table and shoved it up our nether regions since at least WW1 when they used the Balfour Declaration to get US into that war … including by the willing participation of (future) SCOTUS Justice Brandeis …
