Europe has an energy crisis. Factories are halting operations in the face of soaring energy prices; families are paying 50% more for heating (or opting to freeze in their homes), and Europe as a whole continues to destabilize its political position by making itself dependent on Russia for natural gas.
Europe shows what happens when you adopt policies based on false ideas—myths about energy that all but guarantee high prices, power blackouts, and a crashing economy. Here are 6 of them:
Myth 1. The world is transitioning to solar, wind and batteries
Myth 2. Solar and wind are the best way of lowering emissions
Myth 3. Solar farms reduce household utiity bills.
Myth 4. Nuclear power is dangerous
Myth 5. Nuclear waste is a big problem
Myth 6. Electric vehicles reduce CO2 emissions

I have said it for a long time, I will say it again:
You cannot power modern civilization on wind and solar. It cannot be done.
Convince me otherwise.
And NO ONE can convince me that anything we do will change the climate.
There was a article somewhere...Russia has been funding the Greenes in Europe...to bring about the mess there in
in 2019, Germany’s nuclear reactors produced 12% of Germany’s electrical power at a cost of 20 Euros/MWH
now in 2022, Germany’s nuclear reactors produce 6% of Germany’s electrical power, and are being replaced with supply that costs 50-300 Euros/MWH
Eurolemmings!
Environment Wacko Liberal Energy Myths Are Triggering a New Dark Age in Europe As Planned.
Let’s say you want to debate Newton’s First Law of Motion or Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Both of these principles are backed by tons of experimental evidence.
But you are free to challenge them anyway! Write a paper. Hold a public discussion. Go for it!
However, this is not true when it comes to “woke” science such as climate change or green energy. No debate is permitted. You must accept the establishment viewpoint without question.
We are going back to the Dark Ages here. And deep down the scientific community must know this. But they are too intimidated to speak up.

There's been many reports on this. Its likely true.
The USA/NATO produces the same sort of disinformation for their own ends, with various NGOs, people like Soros/Gates, control of social media, Hollywood, etc. etc.
There are no good guys here.
The Arabs. That’s where all the oil is. Just who benefits from $100 oil?
Germany voted themselves into a new dark ages.
Someone stated it’s of a different type, but Venezuela has the largest known reserves of oil.
Too bad they destroyed everything and can’t pump it out...
If you believe in global warming, which I don’t, but if you do, nuclear energy is the perfect answer.
But these myths sure are making a few rich.
It’s extra heavy but we know how to process it. Before Chavez, they were buying refineries in the US and Europe to process it. They destroyed their own oil industry.
Nobody, and I mean NoBody saw this coming, nope uh uh. (well maybe Trump and a few others mostly here)
Does this mean Europe intends to just skip the Age of Global Warming? Makes sense. I’ve always thought the global warming alarmist were already running around in the dark to a certain degree.
I believe before they went far left, Venezuela was the richest per capita SA country. (not certain if true)
I went to school with some Venezuelans at University of Florida. They were kind and educated.(obviously from rich families)
They were in Chemical Engineering. I wonder if they have left Venezuela for America?...
I used to read Javier Reinoso’s tweets all the time. He is caring for 60+ cats in the Venezuelan countryside, along with his Parents. Sometimes the inflation rate there has been 600+% per month. He survives with international supporters.
