Then there’s “very critical.”
Then there’s Germany critical.
Merz issues business SOS in letter to allies – Chancellor Merz has told coalition politicians the situation in several key German businesses is “very critical.” He said the government must prioritize improving areas like energy and labor costs in 2026.
Especially when you’re experiencing sub-zero temperatures and your heating is out (thanks a million, Global Warming).
Berlin power outage affecting 45,000 homes blamed on ‘politically motivated’ attack – Many households and businesses in south-west Berlin face days without electricity after high-voltage power lines were damaged by a fire which city authorities said Sunday was a result of a politically motivated attack by “left-wing extremists.”
Well, then do something about it.
“It is unacceptable that once again clearly left-wing extremists have attacked our power grid and thereby endangered human lives.”
Berlin power outage affecting 45,000 homes blamed on ‘politically motivated’ attack – A fire that left over 45,000 households and 2,200 businesses in southwest Berlin without electricity was a politically motivated attack by left-wing extremists, city officials have said.
You already had the highest energy prices before the war in Ukraine began.
Blame it on your self-inflicted Green Energiewende (energy turnaround). Turn off all your nuclear power plants and find out.
Germany’s heating bills have tripled since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – Germany has faced a significant increase in heating costs since 2021, after deciding to end its reliance on Russia as a key energy supplier over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Germans are facing a 82% increase in heating costs since 2021, when the country decided to cut ties with Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
No way.
It can’t happen here. Again.
Suspected arson triggers Berlin blackout, 40,000 homes and businesses without electricity – A fire on two high-voltage pylons in southeastern Berlin triggered a major power outage Tuesday morning, leaving more than 40,000 households without electricity in what authorities suspect was an arson attack.

They’ll come to their senses soon enough.
Or maybe they won’t. Hard to say for sure.
Swedish minister open to new measures to tackle energy crisis, blames German nuclear phase-out – Sweden is ready to introduce new measures to tackle the country’s soaring energy prices, Energy Minister Ebba Busch announced on Thursday (12 December), blaming Germany’s nuclear phase-out for the crisis in the country and at EU level…
One main reason Busch cited for the surge in electricity prices is Germany’s decision to dismantle its nuclear power plants, saying it also has detrimental effects for Europe.
“I’m furious with the Germans,” Busch told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
“They have made a decision for their country, which they have the right to make. But it has had very serious consequences,” she added.
That means the “dark duldrums.”
It’s dark here all the time these days, in other words. And there’s not much wind either. “Renewables” don’t seem to like that for some reason.
A weather phenomenon dubbed ‘Dunkelflaute’ is causing havoc in Germany and pushing energy prices to 2-decade highs – A weather phenomenon dubbed “Dunkelflaute” that causes chilly, low-wind conditions is sweeping across Europe and causing fresh havoc to Germany’s embattled economy, where energy prices have risen to a two-decade high.
A Dunkelflaute, translated as “dark doldrums” or “dark wind lull,” is the bain of renewables companies, with an extended period of low wind and cloudy weather hurting their ability to generate electricity from either wind or solar.
That means aerson attack.
The Tree People did it (they’re kind of like the Sand People in Star Wars, only with trees)!
Tesla without electricity is like a… Well, this is what it’s like:
Tesla factory near Berlin evacuated! No power for hours after arson attack. Production at a standstill ++ Bomb searchers move in…
Peaceful protest turns into naked violence! Eco-criminals paralyzed Tesla’s car factory in Grünheide (12,500 employees) with an arson attack on Tuesday morning. The entire factory, the town of Erkner and parts of Berlin are without electricity. Bomb searchers are now moving in. The car factory has been evacuated!
It’s the only Green thing to do.
German energy prices are so high they’re driving companies to relocate, industry body says…
In May, the German government revealed plans to set aside around 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) each year to subsidize electricity prices for energy-intensive industries, in an attempt to shield businesses from high electricity prices.
“A lot of family-owned companies … have very operational plans to relocate.”
But what could be more natural than coal, right? Is wind more natural? Why? How?
Germany: Coal tops wind as primary electricity source – In the first half of 2021, coal shot up as the biggest contributor to Germany’s electric grid, while wind power dropped to its lowest level since 2018. Officials say the weather is partly to blame.
The weather made us do it, the Greens will now explain. Like, duh. Are they finally starting to figure it out? The weather always makes us do it. The climate even (weather over time). It’s called not wanting to freeze to death.
