European Leaders Cling to Green Fantasy as Citizens Suffer
Aletho News ^ | 9/7/2022 | Vijay Jayaraj

There is being caught between a rock and a hard place, and then there’s Europe. The continent’s squeeze between a severe energy shortage and a policy of phasing out fossil fuels — the world’s most widely available energy source — got tighter Sept. 2 when Russia’s Gazprom stopped its natural gas supply to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline due to “oil leakage.”

Experiencing astronomical power prices and anticipating an energy-starved winter, citizens are saddled with their leaders’ pursuit of a green utopia that has denied them access to adequate supplies of coal, natural gas and oil. Consumers are left largely at the mercy of expensive and unreliable solar and wind power.

For many of us, Europe’s self-imposed disaster is a warning of what’s to come should our leaders insist on pursuing a carbon-free nirvana — an absurdity that is not even possible. However, for those faced with eye-popping price hikes, the situation is life altering!

In the UK, many small businesses have no choice but to shut down this winter. James Allcock of Beverley, England, says that the electricity prices for his tiny 22-seat restaurant has risen from 2,928 pounds a year to 22,516 pounds. “Unsure what to actually do next but as a business that cost would now be more than I pay in rent and more than I take some months,” he laments. “I simply don’t have the money for this.”

Not one EU country is set up to use only green energy. The politicians in both the EU and here are soft as grapes, leading their people down a very dark road with no light in sight.

That’s why these Globalists have to be stopped, and if it takes Putin to stop them, then so be it.

20 years ago we could laugh off the Globalists as daydreamers, but now THEY HAVE POWER in virtually every Western country and they are hell-bent on DESTROYING the lifestyle that West has had since WW2 (and much of the time before then). They must be stopped.

Just think of all the awesome places in Europe that our Elite Masters will be able to enjoy without peasant scum cluttering up the place.

Just them, their techies and their hawt Instagram concubines...

They are going to need to bring in the crazy Swede teen, Greta Thunburg to come fix the energy shortage/high energy costs problem. Chuckle.

It should be obvious to any sentient person by now that the destruction of western civilization is intentional.

The Western peasants go bye-bye, so the Elite can enjoy their Pleasure Planet.

They want to put it on the politicians but nearly half of the population actively promoted this outcome. Firstt they fell for the storylines about nuclear power, and nuclear was sidelined as a possible energy source. Then water power is bad because it causes rivers to be damned. And dammed. Now petroleum and natural carbon compounds are worse than nuclear. Next thing you know, they won’t allow wind because it kills birds and they won’t allow solar because it covers too much land. The ultimate goal is depopulation. It’s the Europeans who are willfully committing suicide.

The Electric cars so not seem to have a future period.

The internal combustion engine is the biggest invention in our lifetimes.

We are finding out that we do not have that much power to power these electric cars.

About the only one I see in the UK openly saying that the problem is Gaia Worship and THAT is what needs to be sacrificed is Nigel Farage.

It doesn’t look like it will happen but Farage becoming PM and implementing his policies looks like the only thing that could get the UK out of the mess its in.

I don’t even see a Farage-like character anywhere else in Western Europe. Nobody has the guts to stand up and say that Gaia Worship is the problem and that those who supported Gaia Worship - politicians, the media, bureaucrats, caused this problem.
