Green SPD Economics Minister Armin Willingmann confirms: the energy transition does not pay for itself without subsidiesWhat a brilliant masterstroke! The highly esteemed Professor Dr. Armin Willingmann, this shining example of green-red wisdom from Saxony-Anhalt, has finally proven in black and white: the energy transition is a resounding success – as long as taxpayers subsidize it with both hands. 
Bravo! Standing ovations for this moment of rare honesty from the ranks of the SPD. Who would have thought that it would be precisely a minister from the party that is deindustrializing Germany with ideological force who would serve up such a blunt dose of bitter truth? In his Facebook post from June 8, 2026, the Ministry for the Environment celebrates nearly 100,000 euros in funding for Biogas Produktion Lübs GmbH. The dutiful company is investing almost 200,000 euros in a tiny electricity storage unit with a ridiculous capacity of 430 kWh – barely the size of the batteries of four to eight electric cars. And the result? A solid 46 tons of CO₂ savings per year. A triumph! At total costs of 300,000 euros plus personnel expenses, the payback period is roughly 200 years. Brilliant, Professor! That is what truly sustainable planned economics looks like. One commenter dryly summarized it: “46t CO2 cost about 3000 euros. [...] So the system pays for itself after 200 years, brilliant.” These costs are, however, taxes imposed by political decisions. Without these taxes, CO₂ would not cost anything at all.
The masterpiece of subsidy dependencyWithout these generous tax funds – pardon, “investments in the future” – even this mini storage system would not be economically viable. That is precisely what Willingmann has inadvertently admitted with his “Saxony-Anhalt STROMSPEICHER” program. The fluctuating production from wind and solar requires expensive buffers, which would immediately go bankrupt without compulsory levies from citizens. But don’t worry: the minister wisely explains that sun and wind “do not send a bill.” Instead, the bill arrives promptly from the tax office – for every electricity customer and taxpayer.How delightfully pragmatic foreign media appear when they are not aligned with government narratives. The Wall Street Journal once called the energy transition the “World’s Dumbest Energy Policy”. The BBC spoke of “Germany’s green dreams meet harsh reality” and a costly experiment since the fall of the Berlin Wall. International analyses estimate the costs of the energy transition at hundreds of billions of euros – far more than nuclear power would ever have cost. France is laughing all the way to the bank, supplying us with cheap nuclear electricity while we juggle Chinese panels and subsidies. Meanwhile, the IPCC admitted just a few weeks ago that its most extreme apocalyptic scenarios (such as the notorious RCP8.5) are no longer plausible – a quiet but clear retreat from years of doomsday projections that were used as justification for billions in subsidies. However, the highly esteemed Professor Willingmann does not seem to have received this update yet. He continues to preach the same panic rhetoric with undiminished fervor, as if the IPCC had never admitted that the worst horror scenarios were exaggerated. The wisdom of the comment sectionThe Facebook comments under Willingmann’s posts are a festival of enlightenment. Harald Kvicala hits the nail on the head: “This entire energy transition only works with subsidies, meaning at the expense of taxpayers and electricity consumers.” Naturally, the usual reflexes immediately follow: “Russian troll!”, “Racist!”, “Blue idiot girl!”. The green-red echo chamber defends the indefensible with insults instead of facts. One user calculates that even small storage systems are not economically viable without subsidies. Another writes: “Even more tax money into the absurd energy transition project.”Willingmann himself preaches independence through renewables. Yet we are massively importing the technology from China, including neodymium for wind turbines and rare earth elements. The sun sends no bill – but Beijing certainly does. Nuclear power? Forgotten. Coal? Evil. Instead, decentralized dependence on weather and supply chains. One commenter puts it bluntly: “Be independent? But now dependent on wind and weather? That’s enough for a hair dryer and a coffee machine, not for an industrial nation.” Without endless subsidies, the house of cards collapsesDear Armin Willingmann, you are a hero! With your own post and your funding decisions, you have proven what critics have been saying for years: without endless subsidies, EEG surcharges, tax waste, and coercion, the house of cards collapses. You confirm it: the energy transition is a gigantic redistribution project from the bottom to the top – from citizens and industry to subsidy recipients and green ideologues.While industry is cutting jobs, bankruptcies are breaking records, and electricity remains expensive, you celebrate “local value creation.” Chapeau! Foreign observers already see what is happening here: a self-destructive experiment that weakens Germany, while pragmatists in France, the USA, and elsewhere rely on technological openness instead of bans and coercion. Saxony-Anhalt thanks you, Minister, for ensuring that this “transition” only works with other people’s money. Keep it up – the public is watching and will remember every funding decision. The next election is sure to come. And then perhaps even the political math will be recalculated.
