Leftist Germany is wavering in its green religion.
Germany has been dealt a serious blow. It is now experiencing a rude awakening, realizing that the green movement is based on a fanatical utopian dream with no scientific basis, and that green energy is a multi-billion dollar profiteering scam. Germany is now projected to “completely” run out of gas by February.
Although not in as desperate a situation as Germany, the U.S. has also found itself dependent on foreign oil, with the hapless green Biden administration, which destroyed America’s energy independence upon taking power, now scrambling to boost domestic oil production after OPEC cuts.
“Govt Minister Demands Fracking Legalized to Boost German Gas Supply,” by Peter Caddle, Breitbart, October 2022:
A minister within Germany’s ruling leftist coalition government has demanded fracking be legalised to try and boost gas supplies in the country.
Christian Lindner, Germany’s Federal Finance Minister, is now pushing for fracking to be legalized in the country in what appears to be a desperate attempt to bolster the country’s supply of gas, which has been severely disrupted since the start of the sanctions war with Russia over Ukraine.
Projections have suggested that the country could completely run out of gas by the end of February, with it feared that, with many in the country likely to be unable to adequately heat or power their homes, public unrest and even rioting could become a severe problem in the EU powerhouse.
However, despite the energy crisis, government authorities in the nation have been extremely reticent to roll back their climate change agenda, maintaining a complete ban on the use of fracking technology in service of the country’s carbon goals.
According to a report by Der Spiegel, Lindner has now openly derided this position, saying that his colleagues needed to get over any “ideological” issues they have with the extraction method in order to increase the availability of gas.
“We have to approach the funding quickly,” the minister remarked, before saying that there were multiple locations in the country where the technology could be implemented.
“I am confident that in a few years we will be able to cover a relatively large demand from domestic gas sources,” he continued. “It’s advisable to do that when you look at the developments in the world.”
“It would be rather irresponsible to avoid fracking for ideological reasons,” Lindner argued.
This last line appears to be a rather pointed jab at the finance minister’s own government, which includes the climate alarmist Green Party….
Phil Copson says
Demented Pennsylvanian gubernatorial candidate John Fetanyl has given the Western world it’s defining motto: “I support fracking……and I don’t!”
Soon, his words will be it’s epitaph.

This makes more sense that Biden demanding that the Saudis drill more.

Remember when President Trump told Germany, at the UN, that they are making a huge mistake in depending on Russia for their energy needs and the German Delegation laughed at him, well they sure aint laughing now, are they?.
How many times has Donald Trump been correct in his predictions and how many times has the MSM acknowledge them?.
Not a trick question.

Why doesn’t Germany first recommission all its nuclear power plants, and bring electricity to every part? And then get back to fracking, and totally jettison the environmental part of their energy policy
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
From an engineering perspective, how long would it take to ramp up nuclear power in Germany?

Even leftists are afraid of a very cold German winter.
