An energy crisis manufactured by the globalist agenda to rapidly transition from oil and natural gas to green energy will lead to famine and freezing across Europe, warns a veteran international journalist.
Michael Yon, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, pointed out in an interview Monday that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline has exacerbated shortages that already have spiked the costs of energy and of nitrogen-based fertilizers that together drive up the cost of food while threatening the ability of families to heat their homes and cook their meals.
"We're actually beyond the precipice at this point," Yon told SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily. "We're falling. It's too late. There's going to be famine, and the question is, 'How big and how many people are going to get hit?'"
Yon said some people "talk about energy as if everything's interchangeable, as if solar panels and windmills and nuclear plants can replace natural gas, which [they] simply cannot."
He noted that of the 26 major plants in Europe that produce nitrogen-based fertilizers, all are either closed down or on the verge of closing.
"This will lead to famine. It's just mathematics at this point," he said.
In August, a survey found that with energy bills set to spike by 80% in October, nearly one quarter of adults in Britain said they would not turn on their heating this winter.
The British government energy regulator Ofgem announced that month that the average household's yearly heating bill would rise in October from 1,971 pounds to 3,549 pounds. In U.S. dollars, that's an increase of from about $2,300 to $4,140.
The Liberal Democrats' Cabinet Office spokeswoman, Christine Jardine, warned at the time that millions were facing "financial devastation," with Britain "on the brink of the worst cost of living crisis in a century."

This is insane.
I’m currently working on a variation of a downdraft gasifier to turn crop waste into charcoal. Don’t know if I’ll ever run an engine off of it, but the charcoal will be made into biochar and used as fertilizer.
Great post! Thank you!
its not winter as of yet, you really are a troll
Again, more fear porn....”
Maybe. But these policies will starve and freeze people.
Probably the poorest people will die first.
Yep - had you had one or two of these you’d just have increase the dial a bit and leave it alone - no cold mornings.
BTW I also spoke with a couple electricians familiar with these units - they even said not to turn it down nights. I can’t say enough about these units being efficient and effective. ...and I’ve tried many different other ones to no avail.
Makes you wonder why his handlers are telling him anything.
I think I still have a couple of those around
I think the key to using these is set the temp where it's comfortable and simply adjust it higer if the temperatures outside increases. Otherwise just let it be 24/7/
I have mine in the middle of the living room area so it radiates in all directions. You can put them closer to a wall - but I found this way works best for my place.
The other one I put in My bedroom...but it's temp is lower.
11th October 2022 “There are estimates that over 100M could freeze in Europe this winter.”
Those were wrong
