German Electricity Prices Spiraling Out Of Control…Tripling Since 2000… Blackouts, Unrest Loom

German electricity prices surge out of control, social instability threatens….German Chancellor assures police won’t open fire on demonstrators

Sun and wind don’t send any electric bills, the green energy swindlers used to tell us.

Changing over to sun and wind energy would cost only one euro a month more, Germany’s former Environment Minister Jürgen Trittin once promised. All we had to do was accept their master plan.

Today the swindle is uncovering, and it may be too late to avert the massive damage that’s coming our way.

At Facebook, Helmut Bauer posted the most recent chart depicting Germany’s electricity rates for end-consumers. It’s a blood bath:

Electricity prices for German end-consumers, in eurocents per kilowatt-hour. Source: BDEW, Verivox. 

What a mess; they’ve reached 41 cents a kilowatt-hour and it’s about to get much worse – especially for the people who can least afford it. Expect social unrest to boil over the months ahead as prices and shortages inflict pain on the poor. We’re in uncharted territory.

Hey, not to worry: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised that police will not open fire on demonstrators.

But let’s not give up hope. Have a nice Friday, everyone!

    German wholsale prices for electricity have averaged over 600 euro per MWh for the last couple of days (that is 60 cents per kWh). And prices have peaked at over 700 euro per MWh several times.

    Things go from bad to worse
    You think it can’t get worse than that
    And then they do

    Germans are kind of in the way, the Green Plan must move forward.

    If you can remove, extirpate, all of the German population, you can solve a lot of energy problems. Reduce the carbon footprint the easy way.

    The Germans can move to the United States and live in tents. It’s the latest housing trend. Camping is always fun, a more permanent vacation time won’t be that bad. Sun, surf and sand on the Pacific shores in California is a groovy thing, can’t go wrong.

    According to Herbert Reul, the ruler of the interior ministry, poor Germans are the domestic enemy. Too bizarre. Watts Up With That has the story.

    Let them live in tents on the streets of America!

    Profoundly absurd, that’s how far gone it really is.

    “Expect social unrest to boil over the months ahead as prices and shortages inflict pain on the poor.”

    That’s unfortunate, but a convulsive reaction against the German Energiewende is a very healthy and needed purging process. Data and science couldn’t reach people; real pain and suffering blow away decades of Malthusian brainwashing in one stroke. Better sooner than later.

    The problem is that there’s no political party that offers any alternative to Green eco-fascism. AfD only draws 10% of voters

      AfD is very pleasant in its niche: when percentage could rise and bring the danger to put AfD in the row of government parties then one of it’s exponents shoots something with nazi content and immediately the percentage falls back in the 10% region, allowing comfortable seats in the bundestag and no responsibilities

    More natural gas than Germany can use is available from Gazprom if paid for with rubles. Germany refuses. Whose fault is that?

    Who cares about one broken promise?
