It seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in..............................

Future kids: What did they use for lights before green energy?

LOL, the term “blockhead” for Germans didn’t just fall out of the sky.

Thus another joke becomes reality.

A: Electricity.

Please....lotsa better things than candles. I use a flouresent lamp. Lasts forever. Their problem is heat and cooking. Plenty of ways to cook out doors...and keep warm at the same time. Time to go into the woods and gather wood.
Or the ukes could wise up and say....scr** Biden and the EU and their climate warming agenda...we want gas!!
To: Tell It Right
Maybe they should be buying coal. Kept old Europe warm for centuries!

With the right setup, it’s possible to cook small meals using just the heat from a candle. I’ve done it while camping when it was too rainy to sit by the campfire.
I’d rather use electricity when cooking at home, but it’s always good to have backup plans.

Maybe they can burn their solar panels for heat.
To: Red Badger
I actually had a nutbag tell me back in 2010, “We’re going to make you all live in caves and if you are good we will give you a candle.”
