Germans Rebelling Against Green Tyranny

For many years Germany has led the world in climate craziness. It shut down gas and nuclear plants while offering a gusher of subsidies for wind and solar power.

The result: Germans now pay electricity prices 70% higher than the European average. Germany has been deindustrializing ever since.

Last year lawmakers adopted an experimental policy requiring all new heating systems to use at least 65% renewable energy.

Public outcry has forced Robert Habeck, the Green Party minister behind the plan, to retreat.

He told a town hall this month that the original law “was honestly a test of how far society is prepared to go in terms of climate protection when it becomes a reality. And I went too far.”

Amazingly, all of these mandates and the attendant public backlash were for a policy that will reduce German carbon dioxide emissions over the next six years by the same amount as China emits in a single day.
