French President Emmanuel Macron recently remarked that “the summer, early autumn will be very hard” for French people due to the war in Ukraine, as he believes a total cutoff of Russian gas is likely to occur. Macron is telling French citizens to engage in energy “sobriety” and to prepare for even higher food prices.
Macron added, “From now on, I will ask public bodies, and all companies that can, to consume less. We will create a program and try to use lighting less in the evenings. We are launching a load reduction and sobriety program. We have to prepare for a scenario in which we have to give up Russian gas completely.”
Ironically, the French President noted that public lighting will be turned off at night in some places during a televised interview to commemorate Bastille Day, July 14th. The taking of the Bastille signaled the beginning of the French Revolution, and thus became a symbol of the end of the Old Régime.
Choosing to go dark by turning off the lights at night is an unmistakable symbol of the coming end of the current regime.
And France is by no means alone. California, the erstwhile Golden State, the Land of Milk and Honey—and Hollywood—says it expects periodic blackouts this summer as the power runs low. In fact, California has struggled to keep the power on the past two summers, due to progressive policies that range from the nonsensical to the insane.
France is not engaged in war with Russia but is using the war as an excuse to demand energy “sobriety” from her citizens. California is not fighting Russia either.
As the sun literally and metaphorically rises in the East, the lights flicker and grow dim in the West.

The left seems to enjoy ruling over suffering and misery. I suppose it must make them feel god-like. Lucifer would approve.
ROTFL! Turn them on in the daytime! That’s the ticket!
They’re crime free, so no problem, right?/s
What a maroon.
I thought France generated 70% of its electricity from Nuclear Power.
Paris under the WEF/NWO was the “city of lights”.
It’s going to take more than dimming the lights Mr Macron, but keep dreaming and never forget the last time the French peasantry went hungry.
All this is because of the UNNECESSARY climate policy that these dumb a**** have colluded to force upon the population. Fools....
France does generate a lot of energy from nuclear, they are the #1 country as far as percentage from nuclear. There are several plants down for maintenance, some for serious maintenance that may take a couple of years. Bad timing with the Ukraine war.
Why the heck is everybody just putting up with the WEF turning?
“California, the erstwhile Golden State, the Land of Milk and Honey—and Hollywood—says it expects periodic blackouts this summer as the power runs low”.
Well, that’ll be real good for those having to charge electric cars.
That is correct; which makes it more inexplicable considering night time is not when the peak load occurs and nuclear power generation would probably handle it on it’s own.
They do, but the government has neglected maintenance and has had to shut down several reactors, and on top of that the drought Europe is experiencing means that in certain areas the water levels are too low to operate at maximum capacity.
You misspelled “creating”.
Sounds about right. I would not walk at night in certain
arrondissements.
Sounds mean like Russia is winning. The Russians have their lights 24/7 day and night meanwhile, the friends have to shut off the lights at night because they were enough electricity. I seem to recall Trump saying something about that, however, I believe he talked about Germany getting too much of their energy from Russia.
Ha! I did not misspell, but I neglected to add that...Create and rule over misery and suffering. My bad!
“the summer, early autumn will be very hard”
France will look like North Korea from the satellite
