Exactly.

According to Statista, there are 741 million people in Europe. Germany (today) eats up 4.89% of an average Germans wages. The U.S. today, eats up 1.24% (third lowest in the 29 country survey). Reportedly, Germany is headed towards $1.00 per kwh.

In contrast, I pay .08 cents per kwh.

If Germany goes to $1.00 per hour or higher, 741 million proud and arrogant socialists (and they are as I’ve talked to some of them) are going to freeze in the winter and burn up in the summer and oh never mind they will get awful hungry.

I say the European adults deserve it. Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

That buck per kwh sure makes juicing your e-car a pricey proposition....

> Desperate measures

How about using this as an excuse to export all their energy guzzling welfare cases back to their energy rich origins?

This lady’s a Gaia warming hysteric. Before natural gas, folks used to burn firewood and coal. No particular issue returning to that in the short term. In the medium term, high prices beget big supply hikes. 10x the old price will spur a massive glut going forward, resulting in a return to prewar price levels.

“We’ll find out when we see thousands on people marching around with torches and pitchforks looking for politicians”

The European politicians will be on their knees to Russia if this is an unusually cold winter.

European governments brought this on their countries. They can only double down to justify their stupidity and stupidity is far the charitable interpretation.

“...climate change has drained rivers so much that many of Europe’s nuclear plants are offline..”

These idiots will never get well unless and until they drop that notion from their thinking.

The American Left brought the immediate problem on with their stumbling into war in Ukraine but the European governments are responsible for putting all their eggs in a broken basket and making the situation inevitable sooner or later.

Good. Hope the west chokes on its power and greed. This was so basic from the start. Even PDJT told them 4 years ago what was going to happen yet the west laughing at him and the non power of Russians energy. They are so much more sophisticated. Not really. It was their greed that did them in. Their corruption of the leaders for the $.

We are living in a post modern, post truth world. Nothing matters anymore except control and power. How to combat this? Your thoughts?

“..European governments brought this on their countries...”

yes, by becoming dependent on Russian energy. And then Biden cuts them off from Russian energy with his sanctions. Who will the European peasants with their pitchforks blame???
