Germany braces for social unrest over energy prices

German officials have expressed fears that a worst-case winter of energy problems could prompt an extremist backlash. How bad things get may depend on how well they manage the crisis – in policy and perception.

State and federal Lawmakers in Germany are exploring a sweeping set of measures to save energy, from turning off street lights to lowering building temperatures; and they are pleading with the public to cut consumption at home.

Whether those efforts spur a call to solidarity or a call to arms won’t become clear until the cold sets in and bills come due. Yet Chancellor Olaf Scholz is not in a wait-and-see mood, telling public broadcaster, ARD, last month that spiraling heating costs are a “powder keg for society.”

An “Extremist Backlash.” So wanting to keep your home heated and food on the table at prices that haven’t been juiced sky-high by Green-Scam legislation makes you an “Extremist” in Germany.

Billionaires, Hollywood Celebrities Join Call to End Public Plane Tracking After Climate Criminal Backlash

Billionaires, Hollywood celebrities, and climate activists share fame, fortune, and a profile they work hard to control. All of which is why so many are calling on a public company not to track their flights and expose their carbon footprints.

Canadians are spending the highest proportion of their income on gas compared with other G7 nations

Canadians are spending the highest proportion of their income on gas compared with other G7 nations, according to the global gas price tracking website GlobalPetrolPrices.com.

Their data shows that Canadians are spending 4.4 per cent of their income on gas, notably higher than second-place Americans who are spending 3 per cent. Other G7 nations such as Japan and U.K. spend half as much. The lowest proportion of income spent on gas is by those living in France (0.7 per cent).

Climate policy conflicts with energy security

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s support for Canada providing Europe with liquid natural gas (LNG) to help it cope with looming fuel shortages as Russian President Vladimir Putin restricts gas exports to the continent is a great idea.

Britain’s lights will go off this winter

The dependence on renewable energy is a major problem

As the lights start going off around Europe this summer, there is every chance the same could happen here. Last month parts of London came very close to a blackout. As temperatures soared, electricity demand surged, and the National Grid experienced bottlenecks. The blackout was only avoided by paying a record-breaking £9,724.54 per megawatt hour to persuade Belgium to send more energy via interconnectors. This was 5,000% higher than the typical price paid. While the causes of this particular incident were idiosyncratic, it raises issues that could prove important this coming winter as Europe faces down an energy crisis.

Britain’s reliance on interconnectors — that is, high-voltage cables that connect our energy grid to those of other countries — is the result of the move away from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels, whatever their faults, are extremely reliable.

Why We Lost Trust in the Expert Class

For years, European policymakers had assured the world that the relatively rapid “transition” to “green” energy was the world’s preordained future — regardless of the costs.

Accordingly, many European Union governments followed the advice of green experts. They eagerly shut down coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants to transition immediately to “renewable energy.”

Jamil Jivani: The collateral damage of Trudeau’s war on climate change

Most people I know are worried about climate change for genuine reasons. But there is an influential subset of people and organizations that are so ideologically captured by a war on climate change, they’re unfazed by the suffering of whoever gets caught in the crossfire.

Recently, Canadian farmers and Indigenous community leaders have been voicing their concerns over how the war on climate change is impacting their businesses and economic prospects.

Quebec firms will have much lower carbon pricing costs than those in other provinces until well into the 2030’s

The unfairnesses in carbon pricing

According to its advocates, carbon pricing measures have many advantages. They are simple, equitably applied, economically efficient and ultimately fairer than intrusive regulation and subsidy measures. Somewhere between the theory and the design of Canada’s climate policy, however, the theory got lost. Quebec’s “cap-and-trade” system is a prime example.

How Nations Fail: Sri Lanka’s Affair with Green Ideology

Today, Sri Lanka is facing its worst crisis since its independence from the United Kingdom in 1948. Since October 20, 2021, fuel prices have risen by 259 per cent and amid power blackouts and shortages of everything from fuel to cooking oil to food, Sri Lankans have finally had enough. Mass unrest and violent clashes with the police are now common.

The country’s severe economic crisis is the direct responsibility of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Allegations of nepotism were rife after he installed his elder brother Mahinda as Prime Minister. Since March, protesters have taken to the streets demanding the resignation of the Rajapaksa-led government. In May, Mahinda resigned as prime minister. During a tumultuous weekend in July, thousands of anti-government protesters gathered in the capital city of Colombo, where they breached police barricades and occupied the ceremonial presidential palace. Meanwhile, the home of the current—and former six-time—prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, was burned to the ground. Wickremesinghe has since been elected President, and Rajapaksa has fled to the Maldives. The 73-year-old’s departure marks the end of one of the most powerful political dynasties in South Asia.

Germany (still) refuses to go nuclear … and Spain limits air conditioning & heating

The country’s energy policy is purely ideological

As Germany stares down the barrel of an energy crisis, it’s lights out already in the capital. The Red City Hall, the presidential palace and the Victory Column are among the 200 sites in Berlin that will no longer be illuminated at night. The Deputy Governing Mayor, Bettina Jarasch, said her city wanted to make a “visible contribution” to the changes required in light of Putin’s weaponisation of Germany’s energy dependency.

Spain puts limits on air conditioning and heating to save energy

Spain has announced new energy-saving measures, including limits on air conditioning and heating temperatures in public and large commercial buildings, as it becomes the latest European country to seek to reduce its energy consumption and its dependence on Russian oil and gas.

Under a decree that comes into effect in seven days’ time and applies to public buildings, shopping centres, cinemas, theatres, rail stations and airports, heating should not be set above 19C and air conditioning should not be set below 27C. Doors will need to be closed so as not to waste energy, and lights in shop windows must be switched off after 10pm.

The worldwide working-class counterrevolution

You don’t mess with the people who grow your food

Something is happening across the world right now, something that deserves more attention than it’s getting.

First, to the Netherlands, where farmers have been protesting, blockading roads with their tractors and staging enormous rallies. The demonstrations have been going on and off since 2019, when the Dutch legislature proposed a crackdown on nitrogen emissions. Nitrogen is heavily emitted by livestock and fertilizer, which means the regulations are hitting Dutch agriculture especially hard.

Gas shortage: Will heating become a luxury in Germany?

The EU wants to reduce its gas consumption by at least 15%. Germany will probably have to save even more. How is that supposed to work?

Many people in Germany are starting to get unpleasant letters in the mail. Utility companies are passing on the increased costs of gas to their customers. Gas heats more than half of the homes in Germany, and many residents will struggle to pay for it.

Prices have more than doubled since the end of last year, to €0.13 ($0.13) per kilowatt hour. Some suppliers have increased prices even more. Energy giant, Vattenfall, is charging new customers in Berlin €0.25 per kilowatt hour.

GOLDSTEIN: Why Trudeau’s climate ‘plan’ is doomed to fail

Canada’s C.D. Howe Institute recently gathered experts in four of the seven major sectors of our economy that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is targeting to lower Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions to 40%-45% below 2005 levels by 2030.

The four sectors — oil and gas, transportation, buildings and electricity — account for more than 70% of Canada’s 2020 emissions, the last year for which government data are available.

They were asked to assess how realistic Trudeau’s targets are, given that their industries will have to implement them.

Polls Show Growing Number of Americans Pulling the Plug on Democrats’ ‘Climate Change’ Hysteria
