Diese grünen Bastarde können zur Hölle fahren!
Losses can be sustained until they can’t.
I think we all agree that the "green energy transition" is really a political movement. There's very little natural human/economic impetus towards it. Thus, as many of you point out, its not efficient, it will contain a lot of elements of corruption, and in the end, it must be forced by government.
Throughout history, inefficient economic political schemes are pushed through some combination of the law+end of a gun, and money+allocating scarce resources.
Its my contention that "green energy" has only achieved any traction due to MASSIVE government spending, massive debt, enabled by historically low, zero/negative interest rates, in printed, fiat money. This is possible because of the global primacy of the West, power of the (woke) US Government and especially, primacy of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the US Dollar.
Any US dollar crisis, any move of BRICS to establish their own monetary system, any political fracturing, any weakening of trans-Atlantic alliances, sustained inflation, higher long-term interest rates, and any debt crisis - are all assymetrically very dangerous for anything connected to "the green energy transition."
In sum - its eventually going to fail, and fail bigly.
Maybe Siemens should shitcan Gamesa and cut their losses.
Remove the subsidies, and none of these schemes survive.
Imagine if “green” energy weren’t mandated and subsidized by the taxpayers.
We agree, we are well and truly fukt...and there is not thing one we can do about it.
There is probably not enough we can do to be prepared.
Just like with education (indoctrination)..."when difficulties arise, just pump more $$$ and more $$$."
We are truly deep into 1984
The Department of Education has no real relationship with instruction.
The Department of Energy is hell bent on destroying the energy sector.
The Department of Justice is anything but.
The Interior Department/ Bureau of Land Management is making sure humans are not welcome (I have never seen a lion or a squirrel pick up a fire hose and put out a forrest fire).
I restate your last paragraphs as you wrote them. Kudos for a very concise explanation of the "house of cards" which the whole "green" game has been and remains, teetering.
When all these schemes require influx of government funding to go along, it is assured that the collapse will be Solyndra-like and write large across the West. All schemes which require the constant input of "more funding" are not profitable in the long term, and so this is a Ponzi scheme with many operating in many venues.
Wholly agree with your estimation and sentiment.
ting tang walla walla bing bang? 😂👍
