Ethiopia shows how the energy transition works – climate panic enthusiasts are still not cold enoughThere is fantastic news that, from the perspective of climate change panickers, nobody should miss. In Ethiopia, only electric cars are being registered as new vehicles. 
Yes, it’s quite astonishing, and it was a great urge for one of these climate change panickers to share this good news multiple times online: Ethiopia’s vehicle registration statistics show that since 2024, only electric cars have been newly registered. 100,000 cars annually! All battery-powered. And by 2030, this could even rise to 500,000 cars. And this should, of course, serve as a great role model for Germany and Europe. No, better: for the whole world! Ethiopia shows how the energy transition can succeed. It should be noted that Germany has nearly 50 million cars on the road. Yes, okay, the fact that only electric cars are being newly registered in Ethiopia is not a decision of the Ethiopian population. The government has banned the registration of combustion engine vehicles since 2024. And yes, this has nothing to do with Ethiopia positioning itself as a climate protection pioneer. It is simply because Ethiopia wants to reduce oil imports, which are expensive in foreign currency. In addition, they have invested in hydropower plants. So the combustion engine ban is based purely on economic reasons. With an average annual income of around $1,000, only very few of Ethiopia’s 132 million people can dream of owning a car anyway. 
But maybe this is exactly what climate change panicker and transformation fanatic Maik Wohler has in mind for Germany: Average incomes plummet, living standards decline, and owning a car becomes an illusion. It’s still not cold enough for the climate change panickersAnyone who has looked out the window recently will have noticed the snow, which according to some experts in Germany supposedly shouldn’t even be falling anymore. Believers in the climate change narrative might wonder how this happened. After all, the story for years has been that it’s getting steadily warmer. And now: winter! With snow! And snow chaos!Climate change panickers are not impressed. It is still too warm for them – so even in winter, it’s not cold enough. That gas storage in Germany and the EU is rapidly depleting is, of course, the fault of politics. Not because they didn’t ensure higher storage levels – no! But because wind and solar weren’t expanded faster. One climate change panicker posted another chart with delight, showing that electricity generation in the EU from wind and solar already accounts for 30 percent. Coal power is now far behind at 29 percent. What a success, right? I tried to explain to the climate change panickers that electricity accounts for only about 20 percent of total energy demand. Therefore, 30 percent electricity from wind and solar only represents about 6 percent of total energy demand. The question then is: How many wind turbines and solar panels still need to be installed to cover 100 percent of total energy demand? The climate change panickers, however, provided no answer. Instead, they referred to hydrogen, which could supposedly cover dark doldrums – whose existence was long denied – along with other storage solutions. Well, that may theoretically be true, but in practice it likely fails due to a few tiny details – Germany simply doesn’t have enough land. I asked AI how much land would be needed to meet Germany’s total energy demand with wind and solar power. When the wind blows and the sun shines, the storage would also need to be repeatedly replenished, and hydrogen produced in large quantities. The AI said that a land area larger than Germany would be required. As a solution, one of these climate change panickers, who still drives a diesel, suggested that the additional electricity could be imported from the EU. When I asked which countries, the answer was: Switzerland! Ah yes, tiny Switzerland will save the EU and Germany. Fascinating, isn’t it? By chance (or the algorithm), I was recommended the following video. In it, a driver of one of these super cool electric cars reports what it’s like in winter, for example, at minus 13 degrees Celsius. Reality shows that battery range can easily be halved in cold temperatures, while charging times double because the battery must first be preheated. The energy for preheating has to come from the battery – or the charging station. So according to climate change panickers, this is the future. Aside from the fact that electric cars – if not subsidized by all our tax money – are more expensive than combustion cars, their utility diminishes with every degree below zero. Imagine if the climate change panickers’ goal is achieved: Global temperatures drop due to CO₂ pricing, winters become bitterly cold again, 49 million electric cars in Germany alone need to be charged, the sun doesn’t shine enough, and the wind doesn’t blow. The many fantastic heat pumps, powered by electricity, also need a lot of kilowatts so Germans don’t get chilly. How much storage is needed to manage this? Climate change panickers still firmly believe that electricity prices will fall if there’s enough solar and wind energy. I don’t know about others, but I see none of that. I pointed to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strompreis . Anyone who scrolls down there – don’t have a heart attack – will see that in the year 2000, the electricity price was just under 14 cents/kWh. Today, despite all the super wonderful and ridiculously cheap green electricity, Germany is far from that. Looking at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_L%C3%A4nder_nach_Strompreis, one notices that the kilowatt-hour in countries like this evil Russia costs only 6 cents, in Turkey 7 cents, and in India and China only 8 cents. In Ethiopia, the kilowatt-hour costs only $0.005, about 0.4 euro cents... ... oh, okay, you climate change panickers, you’ve convinced me. Ethiopia is doing everything right. With such electricity prices, I’d also buy an electric car. Which one? Oh, nonsense! If electricity is so cheap, I’d buy three electric cars, in case I forget to charge one. So all we need is a power line from Ethiopia to Germany. Would that be cheaper than placing wind turbines everywhere? Which party do I have to vote for so that electricity prices drop to Ethiopian levels next week? Author: AI-Translation - Maximus Polemikus | |
