Bundle Up, Germany. 2024 Could be a Long Winter.

If Germans are worried about getting through the Winter of 2023, they ain’t seen nothing yet. 2024 could be even worse, thanks to government bureaucracy. And yes, that goes for those environmentally-minded volk who are cruising the Autobahn in their EVs.

The cryptically-named Federal Network Agency has announced plans to empower German power grid operators to remotely limit home heat pumps and EV chargers. And this can be done without the customer’s permission. And lest German citizens think that they have the spring, summer, and fall to make adjustments, this policy is set to take effect next month. It should be running at full speed, so to speak, by the time winter rolls around next year.

Breitbart News cited the German publication Die Welt in explaining that the increasing number of electric cars in the country and the uptick in people using heat pumps for homes are environmentally friendly but are gobbling up power and are taking a toll on power grids.

So the German government has to penalize the people, in this case the ones who are all-in on the International Green New Deal, in order to save them. Or in this case, the grid. The power cannot be completely turned off, but it can be turned down if someone in the government deems it necessary. That means it will take longer to charge those nifty electric cars or to heat a home.

Ironically, the German government announced back in October that it was planning on expanding the use of EVs. Autoblog stated that the government would spend 6.3 billion euros to increase to add one million charging stations across the country by 2030. These stations would power around 15 million EVs....

Maybe we'll have a bunch of Krauts freezing to death in the dark this winter.

We can remind them about it forever, not that it will do any good.

Yes, but they'll have to hold on for about 7.6 billion years for "Global Warming" to reach it's full effect.

The German winters will never be as bad as US winters. They do not have to worry about looters and the outrageous criminal element that the US enjoys having.

Don’t forget about their “migrant” population. The Germans are no better off with the muslim hordes that we are.

Agree. But these muzzie hordes have not behaved so far as BLM and Antifa have. And what is your opinion of what is going on in the smash and grab incidents taking place in our large cities?

People need to be able to defend their property without repercussions.

If the looters get shot, that’s the chance they take.

It’s a sign of the moral degeneration of our society.

Plus, this is all a result of democrat policies which allow it. When people learn they can commit crimes with impunity and no consequences, you will get more of the same.

Not yet.

IMO, just give them time. Course, whey seem more focused on other crimes, like sexual assault.
