Europe’s virtue signalers can always say they are 'green' they will also be very cold and perhaps broke too.

The virtue signaling elites NEVER have to pay for their crimes - they'll make sure there is plenty of heat in their offices and homes and let the little people freeze.

There are LNG export terminals available in the US that can carry some of our excess natural gas to Europe in several days.

No word at all about that, or the Euros buying our coal ..

And it can’t be just because of a lack of barges, as was stated in another article for the reason that a German coal plant shut down ...

I am sure the freezing to death this winter will be blamed on “global warming”.

electricity generated exclusively by Unicorn Piss

Hope the utilities got patents for that!

2021--the year when "follow the science" became "follow the magic".

The closure, similar to what we have observed over the past two weeks in China, is the first sign that Europe may need to count on mild and windy weather to keep the lights on as the continent faces shortages of natural gas and coal is unlikely to come to rescue.

You can’t count on anything weather wise.

Government created shortages of coal & natural gas to produce electricity don’t bode well for the electric car industry. LOL

Fire up those solar panels and wind turbines! What? Those things don’t just turn on and provide steady and stable power!? Say it isn’t so!

Husband: "Bump up the thermostat, love. It's chilly in here."

Wife: "I did. The power seems to be off."

Husband: "It'll pop back on in a little while."

(Come the first of the year...)

Some of the electricity marketers in TX tout that they have offerings that are “100% solar/wind”. That is nonsense, because their customers don’t lose power on gray, still days. A real 100% green power offering would include blackouts when those modalities don’t produce. Put that in one’s virtual signaling pipe and smoke it.

On the negative side of the environmental ledger are adverse impacts of industrial wind turbines on birdlife and other forms of wildlife, farm animals, wetlands and viewsheds.

Not to mention that the turbines and blades have a limited lifespan and will nee to be replaced every 10 years or so. And no one knows what to do with the resulting junk.

That did not work out too well during the Big Freeze as Texans found out.

Might help boost the Hybrid car industry, though.

It's a marvel to me that the Powers That Be didn't push hybrids as a transitional means of conversion rather than the whole-hog thingy with EVs.

Guess a lotta palms were greased.

The governments are bringing about a poplar clammer for an end to climate change restrictions.

The way to silence the climate change wackos is to have them shouted and maybe eliminated by the real citizens

Thermal coal is in short supply. Germany relies for a lot of its power on burning lignite, the poorest but most plentiful grade of coal, and producing the most CO2 per btu.
