Lights Out On The Eiffel Tower: Europe’s Latest Energy Saving Scheme
By Charles Kennedy - Sep 14, 2022, 1:40 AM CDT

The European energy shortage has forced authorities across the continent to take extreme measures to reduce and encourage the reduction of energy consumption.

The Mayor of Paris has said that the Eiffel Tower will be turned off several hours earlier than usual in a bid to save energy, with the move reducing the tower's energy consumption by 4%.

Across Europe, authorities are turning off lights in public buildings, reducing temperatures at swimming pools, and encouraging residents to take shorter showers.
 
Lights at the Eiffel Tower will be turned off several hours earlier than usual in a bid to save energy, the Mayor of Paris has said, as the capital city joins a nationwide effort to reduce electricity consumption by a tenth.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

With the flip of a switch, Paris becomes the "City of Dark".

We are truly entering a new Dark Age.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Reducing energy by a tenth, hardly seems like it will make a dent. What's going to happen this winter with Europe??  For that matter what's going to happen to the U.S. this winter???

So you flip the switch on one of your top tourist ambience centers.

Yeah, that's smart.

$1000/month electric bills are going to be commonplace soon.
