Germany doubles down and rolling blackouts become commonplace
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
Germany continues to double down on unworkable energy policies.
Expect rolling power blackouts in Germany to become commonplace before the end of this decade, as the result of mandating intermittent, unreliable energy.
====================
“The Green Party’s Robert Habeck, Germany’s Economy and Climate Protection Minister, wants to ban almost all new oil and gas heating systems in Germany from 2024, both for climate protection reasons and because the price for oil and gas has risen sharply after Russia’s attack on Ukraine just over a year ago.
This week in Berlin, Habeck said that Germany must speed up its switch to renewable energy, making up for time lost under the previous government.
Otherwise, he said, neither the climate targets, enshrined in law but which Germany is unlikely to meet, nor the transformation of the economy necessary to ensure future prosperity could be achieved.
● Heat pumps are to replace the old gas and oil heating systems, the energy for which is to come from renewable sources such as wind turbines or solar plants. …”
