No kiddin’
I’m ready to fight
I’ve been lookin’ for my baby all night
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! RIGHT HERE! Out go the lights!

No kiddin’
I’m ready to go
When I find her boy don’t you know
If I get her in my sight
Boom boom! WHAT IS IT? Out go the lights!

“People are being asked to take cold showers “

The article is as much hyperbole as Biden.

Only the city of Hanover has limited hot water in public showers during summer.

Not to private owners.

Not anywhere else.

Nope.

The article is as full of exaggerations as a Dimocrat conference.

Besides, Russia supplies 15% of the energy needs of the 28 EU countries. Cut that out and there is pain, but not dark ages.

Finally, the first dark ages in Europe were after the bronze age collapse. The western European dark ages from 456 ad to 800 ad (the Carolingian renaissance) only affected western Europe. The Roman empire continued in the east until 1453.

An especially cold winter could also mean thousands of deaths due to the effects of cold especially the elderly who can no longer afford to heat their homes

Big Green wants the world to look like North Korea in every respect. The elites get whatever they want the rest of us get: limited electrical power, starvation on a mass scale, kill off their undesired population and absolute control of everyone’s daily life.

On this base it’s more like the Greens enjoying making Germans freeze.

So... Instead of a regular hot water tank, they could use in their homes the good ol’ Ranii Tankless Water heater. Natural gas would not be on all the time, just when needed. Yet another example of Rush is right!

“Basically a reversion to the Paleolithic ear of living. No lights. No hot water. Even the Ancient Romans had hot baths 2,000 years ago.”

That’s music to the econazis ears.

And I don’t feel the slightest sympathy for the useful idiots that put them in power.

I’m hoping for a very cold winter in Europe and enjoying the resulting schadenfreude.

Sometimes you have to hit a mule with a 2x4 to get his attention.

“Because we clearly see the Kind of destruction of our country going on deliberately by our leadership here too”

And who put these wonderful leaders in power?

My late husband told me than when he was serving in the Korean War as a 2nd Lt. sometimes he had a 2 or 3 private night. He did not use them for food. ;-)

Florida has always been a top tourist destination for Germans. And it’s pretty much year round, but especially in the winter months.

I hope you live off-grid, or are not in any way connected to a utility service.

About 10 years ago I had a February natural gas heating bill for $1000. Since them I have been keeping the thermostat at 55, and only heating the areas where I spend time with a space heater, or if I am sitting in a chair or lying down in bed reading, I wrap myself in a blanket and direct a 125 or 250 watt heat lamp at my upper body. If it is really cold out I sometimes put a 2 foot long heating pad on my legs for extra warmth. Now my worst heating bills in Feb. have only been around $400, and the worst electric bills around $150. This is in a 4 story row house.

I am a firm believer in good wool blankets; good ones will last a lifetime. Wool blankets will keep you warm and toasty when “the weather outside is frightful.”

For outside, I dress in layered wool. Keeps me quite warm, even in sub-zero temps and nasty windchill.

I swear by wool.
