Germany’s green energy dream turns into a NIGHTMARE: economic collapse, environmental failures and geopolitical tensions
01/04/2025 // Lance D Johnson // 1.8K Views
 
Germany’s over reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar has led to an energy crisis, exacerbated by the phenomenon of Dunkelflaute (periods of no wind or sunlight).

Electricity prices in Germany are the highest in Europe, reaching €900/MWh during crises, compared to €250/MWh in nuclear-powered France.

The hasty phase-out of nuclear power in 2011 has left Germany dependent on coal, lignite and energy imports, making it the second-largest CO2 emitter per unit of energy in Europe.

Industries, including major players like VW and BASF, are relocating due to unsustainable energy costs, threatening Germany’s economic stability.

The crisis has created geopolitical tensions, with neighboring countries facing unaffordable energy prices and considering withdrawing from energy agreements.

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
