Politico Europe, a publication dealing with green politics, has named Russian President Vladimir Putin one of its “Power Players of the Year”.
“By invading Ukraine and manipulating energy supplies to undermine European support for Kyiv, Putin has achieved something that generations of environmentalists have failed to achieve. It is now a fundamental issue of European security,” the press explained favorably.
Putin invaded Ukraine after the EU spent two years laying the groundwork for a Green Deal program to bring emissions to zero by 2050. All it took was a little bit. “
Protests and strikes erupt across Europe as inflation soars and cost of living drives ‘winter of discontent’
In order to celebrate the silver lining of Putin’s brutal attack on Ukraine, we must be afflicted with the Climate Change Disruption Syndrome pretty seriously.
Meanwhile, Europe is well ahead of the United States in ending the use of fossil fuels, which many US politicians, environmentalists and media voices look upon with envy.
But how is Europe’s Green New Deal going now that Putin has “pushed” it?
The results so far have not been encouraging, to say the least. Euroland is in an epic energy crisis with electricity rationing, blackouts, gas at $10 a gallon and citizens encouraging the government to use candles for lighting and wood for heating.
Germany is reopening shuttered nuclear power plants to avoid constant blackouts. It’s a return to Europe’s Dark Ages, and the climate change lobby loves a return to chaos and mayhem.

This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s no big deal. The French government has now warned of severe energy shortages this winter and is taking drastic steps to save. As one publication states, Paris, the City of Lights, may have to turn off the lights in the coming weeks and months in case of a cold winter.
Parisian officials have ordered local authorities to prepare blackout plans that will “reduce electricity consumption by up to 38%”. “The French government said it was working with the education ministry to develop plans to close schools in the morning if areas were affected by rolling blackouts.”
Climate change seems to me like the new COVID-19 for extremist lockdowns and curfews.
Sweden touts nuclear energy as remedy for Russia dependence, high prices: ‘dire situation’
Germany’s energy shortage is so severe that one of the fastest growing energy sectors is coal. That’s because Germany declared war on natural gas, and the self-inflicted energy crisis forced them to use emitting energy sources. more greenhouse gas. Wood is also becoming a major source of home heating. The dark ages are back.
Then there is the calamity unfolding in Switzerland. The country is not a hardline socialist state, but thanks to an “energy emergency” common in Europe, the Swiss government has announced a “ban on non-essential electric vehicle use”. Journey. At the same time, it encourages people to take trains to buy groceries, but acknowledges that train services can also be disrupted.

That’s not all. The government will also address power outages, including reducing store hours by up to two hours per day, shutting down heating systems in nightclubs, and limiting heating in other buildings to 68 degrees Fahrenheit or below. I am making a plan for Online streaming services and game consoles may be banned. Christmas lights may go out and all sports stadiums and leisure facilities may close.
Is Europe becoming a third world banana republic?
All this brings us to a harsh reality. Europe went all out on wind and solar power, and the experiment failed miserably. These fringe energy sources do not work and cannot accommodate industrial economies. And the less it works, the more it will require the intervention of a police state that fascistically controls the economy and individual behavior.
All these attacks on freedom and prosperity are in the name of saving the planet. Is this what Endgame is really about? The old saying that green is the new red (communist) has proven all too true. A future only a tyrant like Putin in “Man of the Year” can love is.

Worst of all, President Joe Biden’s administration and environmental groups see Europe as a sterling silver model for America. Biden’s climate man even wants to move to the left of Europe on climate change control over our economy. At a climate conference in Egypt last month, Mr. Biden called for the United States to go all out on climate control ahead of Europeans, as if there was a virtue in inflicting pain and lowering living standards on its people. He boasted that he wanted
In other words, we are speeding over the same cliffs of energy poverty, blackouts and climate lockdowns that have collapsed and burned elsewhere. A disaster is imminent. And the Biden administration says faster, faster.
