Zendo Deb looks Germany, and the ramifications of “going Green” they are starting to reap
From Lawrence Person’s BattleSwarm Blog: The Ukraine War Is Crushing Germany’s Green Energy Delusions
The combination of pretending to transition to a green energy future combined with dependence on Russian gas and the fallout of the Russo-Ukrainian War has Germany looking at some very tough choices:
The are many, but the impacts on agriculture will kill people, and the impact on metallurgy will kill economies.
“No one is making nitrogen-based fertilizer in Europe anymore. No one is smelting aluminum anymore. A lot of the steel foundries are shutting down.”
Modern agriculture is dependent on nitrogen fertilizer. Aluminum is an energy expensive business, as is producing steel.
I ponder how bad this will get, and not just for Germany. This “green” boondoggle will be very very hard for so many millions across the globe. All to pad the pockets of many who, already have damn big pockets. And, to appease climate fanatics of course.
