| Excerpts:
* On the march to Net Zero carbon emissions from usage of energy, the key first step is to eliminate fossil fuels from the generation of electricity, replacing them with the magical "renewables." Or so we are told. Once electricity generation is fossil fuel-free, then all energy use can be switched to electricity, without any of the evil emissions. Voilà — Net Zero! * But somehow, in the places that have tried to go this route with wind turbines and solar panels, the push to get more electricity generation from "renewables" has seemed to stall out at around 40 - 45%. (Some small countries with lots of hydropower get higher percentages by counting the hydropower as "renewable."). Countries may build more and more solar panels and wind turbines, but somewhere in the 40s the percentage that those things contribute to electricity generation just doesn't seem to budge very much any more. * And that's why it's so exciting that in the first half of 2023 Germany finally crashed through the 50% barrier, becoming the first significant country with little hydropower to achieve more than half of its electricity generation from "renewables."

So the real story is that expensive electricity caused the German economy to contract. Pursuing mindless "green" crap will cause people to freeze and starve in the dark. But it seems that is what the elites want--while they jet around to their various mansions.
