Europe is Headed Back to the Dark Ages as Energy Costs Explode

I've seen a lot of crazy Tweets where people are posting €10k energy bills and asking how they're supposed to pay for them.

Here's a great one. Notice she blocked replies.

I got this electricity bill today, how in the name of God is this possible, we're a small coffee shop in westmeath (Ireland)

So long lit days
So long night rays
We're going green
Light your candle
to see what I mean
we huddle in the dark
but it's unsafe in the park
Boy were we dumb
Dark Ages here we come

According to Axios, here are just a few of the cutbacks European nations are imposing to deal with the crisis: Cologne’s [Germany] magnificent cathedral — normally lit throughout the night — now goes dark over night. Public buildings, museums and other landmarks — such as the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin — will no longer be illuminated overnight either…. The southern city of Augsburg decided to turn off traffic lights.

Here's what should happen in Germany: the homes of Germany's 'elites' should have thermostats set at 50 degrees all winter. Same with their idiot 'greenies'. No private jets either. There's NO REASON to turn off traffic lights for 'the people' when you can turn off power to the people who caused this misery

Instead of promoting war in Ukraine, the promotion of a negotiated peace deal would be more than beneficial in Europe, while increasing energy production in NA

[Boomer]

Between the climate Nazi cult and the dumb as dirt policy makers they are sending the EU back into the dark ages.

It's going to take a little longer for the USA.

the sanctions against Russia have largely failed, and the totalitarian country is doing better financially than ever.

Hopefully, those here with Russian Derangement Syndrome will read that and stop pretending otherwise as the comes from a source obvious anti-Russian itself.

The idea Russia is a totalitarian country is laughable. It's no more so than Canada or we've become under Biden.

I’m willing to bet that she probably voted Sinn Fein a couple of months back.

Agreed, yet here we go again. The elite leftists who enact these insane policies are immune to their ramifications. “Let them eat cake”.

[Mark17]

I know it suck for them, but they have been asking for it for the last 20 years.

If hungry people are angry people, how angry will they be, when they are freezing to death in their homes?

After Germans spend a year freezing they might be willing to take that 'immunity' away from their 'elites'.

I'm guessing Germany will make peace with Russia' to get the gas turned on. That will bring a new host of problems... Unless Trump can get them back, the World War III opposition team will consist of China, Russia, Iran, Germany and North Korea. We can fight them with sensitivity toward sexual weirdos... and ample use of safe spaces.

Good!

[Jane Long]

Excellent!!

Sow ==> reap

[Allegra]

Yep. They laughed at Trump.

Who’s laughing now? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[metmom]

You can choose to believe that Global Warming is the biggest threat we face, or not. We simply do not have the replacement yet for fossil fuels that would allow us to ban them, and legislating their use out of existence is a recipe for utter disaster.

That’s been obvious for quite some time now.

[MinorityRepublican]

[metmom]

I wonder if they are still laughing.

[Jane Long]

Exactly.

That sound of teeth chattering is NOT from laughing at Trump!

🥶

[dfwgator]

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They’re not laughing anymore
The walls came down
