Hurray! Electricity Is Getting More Expensive! Germany Is Allowed to Build Gas-Fired Power Plants! The EU Has Given Its Permission!Yes, that makes the hearts of the Green*ies beat faster. Energy prices will rise thanks to the grandiose energy transition. 
One could almost think that this was the actual plan. But no, but yes! Yet now everything is fine again. Because the European Commission has kindly given the green light: Germany is allowed to subsidize the construction of new gas-fired power plants with up to €35 billion. What a triumph of national self-determination! The Federal Republic of Germany as a Supplicant: Crawl to Brussels First, Then Get Permission to Build!First, the German government had to knock on Brussels' door and ask for permission to build and subsidize power plants on its own territory that are supposed to ensure security of supply. What an expression of a state's sovereignty! Or rather, of subservience? Or have the two become one and the same by now? Other countries would not let themselves be interfered with in this way. Germany asks for permission. Just imagine: France builds nuclear power plants, Poland sticks with coal, the United States promotes LNG wherever it wants – while here in Germany, people humbly wait for the blessing from the Belgian capital. “The measure is necessary for security of supply,” the Commission graciously declared. How nice that they see it that way too. Aren't we lucky!At Last, the Slow Thinkers Are Realizing What the “Conspiracy Theorists” Have Known ForeverOf course, after years of ideological delirium, it has now been discovered that wind and solar are rather poor at providing the energy actually needed, especially in winter and during periods of so-called dark doldrums. The notorious “conspiracy theorists” have known this for a long time. The leaders so beloved by so many always need a few more years to arrive at such insights. They are not exactly quick on the uptake.So now gas is supposed to fill the gaps. Great! Which gas, exactly? Russian gas is no longer wanted – because Putin is evil. American LNG is likely to be very expensive, the transport distances are long, and prices are volatile. And holy green hydrogen? It is unaffordable and will not be available in the required quantities for the foreseeable future. The power plants are supposed to be built “hydrogen-ready” and operated climate-neutrally by 2045 at the latest. But with what gas? How many years will it take before we realize that it is impossible to produce anywhere near enough hydrogen to supply these power plants, and that this hydrogen will be many times more expensive than that evil Russian gas? Never mind! Build the power plants first and figure out the rest later. Thinking that far into the future is simply too exhausting! €35 Billion: The Citizens Pay – the Ideologues Applaud!The up to €35 billion in subsidies will – surprise! – be paid by electricity customers. Starting in 2031, through a new levy. Yes, that is sure to cause waves of enthusiasm. A new tax – oh, no, a levy! – that raises the base price and will probably be taxed again with VAT. The amount of the additional burden is “open,” we are told. How wonderful this foresight always is. They don't know, but let's do it anyway! The beloved leaders know what is right, important, and good for this people. Affordable energy? Secondary. Ideological self-affirmation? Primary.Keep Coal Plants Running? Blasphemy! Better to Sacrifice the Economy for a 1.3 Percent Reduction in CO₂Critics might argue that we should simply keep the coal-fired power plants running – they are already there, they work, they are relatively cheap, and they could ensure security of supply until genuinely reliable alternatives are available. Blasphemy on an unimaginable scale! The evil CO₂ – that is, the 1.3 to 1.5 percent Germany contributes to global emissions – must be reduced to zero. The leaders want it that way!For context: Germany accounts for around 1.3–1.5 percent of global CO₂ emissions. China accounts for roughly 30–34 percent, the United States for around 11–13 percent, and India for 7–8 percent. The atmospheric CO₂ concentration is currently around 425–427 ppm. In other words: 425 CO₂ molecules out of every one million air molecules. The human contribution to that is approximately 3 percent. That corresponds to just under 13 CO₂ molecules out of every one million air molecules. Germany's share of those roughly 13 molecules is therefore 0.19 CO₂ molecules out of every one million air molecules. Or, for those who prefer percentages: Germany's CO₂ accounts for a whopping 0.000019 percent of the Earth's atmosphere. Yes, that's quite an astonishingly insignificant amount! While industry and citizens here are supposed to suffer over fractions of a million, China and India continue building coal-fired power plants and increasing their emissions. But never mind: moral superiority weighs more heavily than facts. Freezing for Putin, Impoverishment to Save the World – the Grandchildren Will Be Proud!Who needs affordable energy when you can pat yourself on the back later and tell your grandchildren: Freezing for Putin! Sitting in the dark to prevent heat deaths in Bangladesh! Without Germany's impoverishment and deindustrialization, the world would have ended. Yes! Yes! Absolutely! Ask the leaders so beloved by so many – they know better. And now that the EU has given us permission, we are even allowed to build expensive gas-fired power plants to fill the gaps we created ourselves. What brilliant idiocy!Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
