This has drawn serious concerns for power generation. Now many are looking to other energy alternatives.

But what are they going to do this winter?

All that Hot Air from Brussels eventually had to run out of steam.... No greener fail would shut them up than the exposure of the scam. No wonder the NWO is going for broke trying to enslave the West.

Over here in the upper Midwest tonight we have NWS warnings of high winds that are expected to reach 50 mph. Fortunately we have very few windmills here in MI so shutting them down will be easy. LOL.

May be the Germans have saved all those warm overcoats German soldiers used during invasion of Russia in WWII.

This is a good thing. If there are too many wind mills, the air resistance will slow the rotation of the Earth. And solar panels will suck all the energy outta the sun and it will get more dark more longer. And then it will get more colder sooner. See?

Oil, gas, coal...just a few suggestions.

How smart move was it to fight with Russia in Ukraine?
Russia was the source for hydro-carbons energy to Europe with existing infra-structure in place.
But the riding on high horse Europeans did not think the Ukraine war through very well.

Yes, and I will even add nuclear in the mix.

“It’s quite the scam they have going.”

The next thing they’ll be whining about...stagnant air.
