Barely a week after Davos luminaries met with world leaders and Silicon Valley oligarchs to plot their latest phase of the Great Reset, the underlying provenance of their entire ‘climate emergency’ thesis is still struggling to correspond with reality.
Their much-celebrated “Zero Carbon” agenda which virtue-signaling leaders like Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson and Joe Biden are currently advocating for – is proving to be a lot more difficult to achieve in reality than it is on their elaborate UN Agenda 2030 Powerpoint slides, computer modeled projections and Zoom calls.
No one is being hit with this sobering reality more than the Europe’s premier green trailblazer, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country is currently in the grips of Europe’s record-breaking freeze this winter.
Its millions of solar panels are blanketed in snow and ice and breathless, freezing weather is encouraging its 30,000 wind turbines to do absolutely nothing, at all. ...
So much for the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future – aka the ‘Energiewende’.
Despite being the object of consternation and much vilification over the last 20 years, Germany’s coal-fired plants are now being appreciated for what they are: truly meaningful power generation sources, available on demand, whatever the weather. With a Nationwide blackout a heartbeat away, the German obsession with unreliable wind and solar is like a time bomb set to explode.
Luckily Germany’s still existing coal and nuclear power infrastructure is (still) there to step in and keep the power on and the country running. This has been the case for Berlin this winter an RBB German television report reveals: (video)
...
The reporter says the plan is that Germany will have to rely more on natural gas (from Russia), coal power from Poland and nuclear power from France.

But the latest news says that increased carbon emissions from Coal and Gas will just make things colder!!!!!
Damn...we have plenty of Natural Gas available. Dumb not to use it.
Go woke...go broke.
And freeze in the dark.

Because the Sun doesn't always shine and the Wind doesn't always blow.
"Green Energy" is a FRAUD!
If not for tax subsidies nobody would touch it!!!
As a side note inspired by this thread, please consider the following.
Invention-minded people need to pioneer combination refrigerator / heat pump technology in conjunction with home building design to help keep living space warm and food cold during winter.
Insights welcome.
But at least the cold will be Outside.
I don’t have a problem with green energy that is truly green.
Something that does not pollute to be made, that produces more energy in its life than it took to make it, and something that produces enough electricity to meet the demand.
Work on it. Have at it.
Until we have it through, do NOT curtail the use of the only things that work, nuclear and especially fossil fuels.
We can’t abandon fossil fuels until we have something with which to replace it fully. And we don’t.
We won’t freeze.
When they ban those awful fossil fuels, we’ll be burning trees in our wood stove.
Depending only on solar and wind power is stupid. There is not enough energy being produced to supply the needs of a civilized society. Plus the amount that can be stored for nighttime use is pitifully low. So, with solar and wind, you will freeze in the dark.
All the city parks have been stripped of fences and trees for home heating.
“natural gas (from Russia), coal power from Poland and nuclear power from France.”
It is to laugh.
I hope all those Krauts are colder than an Eskimo’s ass.
They deserve it for constantly re-electing Merkel.
Moving forward with Zero Carbon ... killing all their people by freezing will definitely reduce their carbon footprint to zero.
Wait til next winter when folks in the blue states can’t afford to heat their homes and gas up their 4 x 4’s to get through the snow.
Merkel does it again ,LOL
The problem is that it does not work.
Not on any large scale and on a small scale the system needs constant adjustment and repair.
Well, the laws of thermodynamics already make every refrigerator a heat pump as well. You would just need a huuuuuuge refrigerator to heat the average house.
Thanks for reply.
For clarification, combination machine would only help to heat a house.
