By November the European economies will start to disintegrate so I say no.
They must be doing this on purpose. No way it's not part of the Plan.
One simple giveaway:
Everyone in Europe screaming “Putin is a bad man for invading Ukraine, don’t buy his gas”
-> Sanctions placed on Russia
-> Energy prices through the roof
-> “Ok we should get energy from other places.”
This week. Eneco, the largest Dutch energy supplier is going to pay people 0,09 Euro per generated KWh from solar panels sold back into the grid, instead of the previous rate of 0,30 Euro. How can this happen during a time when energy should be getting more valuable?
It seems to demonstrate governments and energy companies are completely in an arranged marriage and to screw over the little guy as much as possible and not care AT ALL about the planet and its resources also.https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2022/08/eneco-to-slash-price-for-solar-panel-buyback/yep you got it.
You guys, everything is gloom and doom and conspiracys with you, you thrive on being contrarian don't you.
Here's a translation to English of a piece I read the other day on a site I follow, and I think he might be right.
"Maybe I just haven't kept my eyes open, but I don't have the feeling that anyone really paid attention to the big upheaval that is reasonably on the way in climate policy.
First consider our - and in this case our means not only Sweden's but the entire Western world's - situation. Climate policy as man's tentative defense against a newly discovered – some would say newly invented – deadly threat to humanity arose at the UN's environmental conference in Stockholm in 1972. "Tentative" is exactly the right word because no one really knew how the world would cope with the prospect of greenhouse gases taking a toll on humanity. But now, when half a century has passed, we see how the world is preparing for attack. The enemy, that is the fossil fuels and to some extent the cows, is identified. Drastic laws have been written and are ready to be implemented if it has not already happened. Authorities around the world have prepared their orders of war within the framework of the overarching strategic plan drawn up under the Paris Agreement. Military judges who are to evaluate the various countries' local fight against carbon dioxide are recruited, trained and posted. Sappers and free front soldiers such as Extinction Rebellion and Greta Thunberg have begun their propaganda attacks against the project's skeptics. The press has been won over to the cause of bold climate policy.
Sometime this year, the war against carbon dioxide and the cows finally got under way after these long preparations. The main weapon is the financial incentive. The idea is, for example, that gasoline will become so expensive through new taxes and fees that people cannot afford to use fossil fuels, which must therefore remain in the ground instead of being pumped up. The project was launched this spring. Petrol suddenly went up to twenty kronor a litre.
Then something remarkable happened that the highest war planning center at the UN Environmental Headquarters had not really thought about. Instead of being grateful for the little financial nudge in the bum that would get people to ditch the gas and save the world instead, people got worried and pissed off. For decades they should have seen it coming, but they hadn't. They probably never thought the climate talk was serious, but it was.
In many places in the world, climate policy caused violent protests. Dutch farmers started riots against a climate policy that made the inputs so expensive that the farmers could barely survive. In Sri Lanka, a country that subscribed to the strictest climate thinking, the people made a revolution and chased their climate alarmist president out of the country.
This international unrest, which began a few months ago, ushered in a brief formative phase. How would the politicians, who in practically all countries have embraced the climate alarmist agenda and aligned themselves with the intentions of the Paris Agreement, now stand? Would they persevere with price increases and fossil fuel bans and hope that the popular protests would die down as quickly as they flared up? Or would they strike down the flag and reorder completely in fear of the wrath of the people?
It seems that the politicians nimbly, easily and without shame succumbed to the signals of farmers and motorists. The gasoline price increases that one moment was boasted about because the higher prices would save the world were described the next moment as hostile contrivances by Putin for which the politicians would do everything to compensate the affected fossil fuel consumers.
What does this mean if not capitulation and closure of climate policy? It has not even survived the first small setback of the war.
The political upheaval didn't just happen in Sweden. President Biden had gone to the election on a strict climate policy and began his term of office by sticking sticks in the wheel of the American fossil producers. The other week, he took that back and opened more federal land for gas and oil extraction than ever before in US history. German politicians are starting to burn coal, the Black Satan of climate alarmism, and are likely preparing to restart nuclear power plants.
Nothing says that the conditions that caused the reversal will disappear. Oil will not suddenly become cheaper. Concerns about power shortages will not end. New measures to democratically squeeze people who are already suffering are not likely. How are the Germans now going to get the Chinese to stop building coal-fired power plants?
I would bet a penny that we will now see the end of climate policy. Like the Titanic, it has run aground on its maiden voyage.
However, the Swedish state media companies will continue to report as if nothing had happened and thus remind of the Japanese sergeant Shoichi Yokoi who 28 years after the end of the Second World War was found on the island of Guam where he had continued to fight against the Americans."
