The Green dream is unravelling in the fourth largest economy in the world. The Vice Chancellor is bluntly saying that Germany industry may have to shut down in 18 months if the current gas flow deal from Russia through Ukraine isn’t extended and he doesn’t seem to believe it could be. Meanwhile 13,000 people protested in Bavaria against the “heating ideology” — whereby evil gas is theoretically going to be forcibly replaced with wildly expensive heat pumps powered by erratic green electrons. The people just don’t want them: last year Germans installed 600,000 gas systems and only 236,000 heat pumps. Politicians are starting to back away slowly from the plan to make all new heaters “65% renewable” by next year. It’s starting to look like the backdown on banning fossil fuel powered cars.
The German economy is possibly in a recession already and Greens are finally getting the blame. It’s so bad that journalists worry that the “Far Right Surge” could endanger some businesses. The right wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party is now polling second across Germany. The AfD is particularly popular in East Germany, (where voters are experts on the failings of socialist experiments).
Today the Greens are being mocked for failing to install a heat pump in their own headquarters after a three and half year quest. The cost is set to reach €5 million because they opted for the geothermal plan and have to drill down “almost 100ft” (that far eh?). The project has been beset with delays.
These are strong words:
Germany warns of industry shutdown if energy crisis deepens
Bloomberg
Germany may be forced to wind down or even switch off industrial capacity if Ukraine’s gas transit agreement with Russia isn’t extended after it expires at the end of next year, according to Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
Habeck, who is also the vice chancellor, issued the stark warning Monday at an economic conference in eastern Germany, saying that policymakers should avoid “making the same mistake again” of assuming that the economy will be unaffected without precautions to secure energy supplies.
His message is aimed at Green and environmental groups
“There is no secure scenario for how things will turn out,” Habeck said at the forum in Bad Saarow. Additional capacity — including a planned LNG terminal on Germany’s north coast that has provoked opposition from locals and environmental groups — will therefore be essential to maintain supply to both Eastern Germany and Eastern Europe, he said.
Companies are already fleeing to the US:
Companies are moving to the US as they face administrative burdens and high energy costs in Europe, Stefano Mallia, the head of the Employers Group of the European Economic and Social Committee, told EURACTIV.cz in an interview.
The relocation of companies mainly concerns those sectors dependent on high energy use, according to Mallia. “I can call it a real and present danger,” he said, adding that the EU has to put the competitiveness agenda to the forefront of its policymaking.

The British Parliamentary inquiry has determined that Boris Johnson lied to Parliament.

On the news tonight some Brit Tory twat (and Boris of course) say the committee that found Boris had misled Parliament was biased.
An item I heard this morning said the committee had seven members. Four from Johnson's own Conservative party, two Labour, and one Scottish Nationalist, and they were unanimous. That doesn't sound very biased.

I see one of our MP’s thinks he’s Will Smith with his passive aggressive outburst and it’s implied threat of violence. That’s far worse than any non disclosure of shares but our media’s largely focused on the replies instead of the shameful comment itself.
Well the jokes on him actually as the reason will smith was so upset is because it’s not so secret that his wife allegedly sleeping around Hollywood circles….

The people in the submersible that is currently lost would seem to be in deep trouble. Literally. So too may be the people running the company that offers the dives. Social media though is full of instant experts with no clue. The one below is one such.

It will be a miracle if it ever surfaces again. In military circles a sub is only reported publicly “missing” once they are sure they have exhausted all means of contact/search.
Internet experts… par for the course for any disaster/war/missing airplane/child/celebrity etc….
Quite an ironic way to perish… a perilous wealthy tourist journey to visit a gravesite of formerly wealthy tourist ship sinking….

Once on an accident investigation course I did for work, the Titanic was a case study. There were many factors contributing to the disaster. I'd question calling it a "wealthy tourist ship" though. There were many third class passengers. The class snobbery of the day suggested they would panic so they were all locked below and went down with the ship.
Update: So a "US navy expert" and company CEO has written in the press that this incident reveals gaps in the US Coast Guard's rescue capabilities. What bollocks. This was a Canadian vessel out in the Atlantic off the coast of Canada. The hint is in the name "US Coast Guard" and the fact that it's not called the International Deep Sea Rescue Service.

Yes I’ll assume you’re likely correct there. On a side not although the titanic is regarded as one of the worst maritime disasters officially it’s the MV Wilhelm Gustloff was a German military transport ship which was sunk on 30 January 1945 by Soviet submarine S-13 in the Baltic Sea while evacuating civilians and military personnel from East Prussia and the German-occupied Baltic states, and German military personnel from Gotenhafen (Gdynia) as the Red Army advanced. By one estimate,[3][4] 9,400 people died, making it the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history.
It’s rarely talked about due to all the nazis and Germans aboard at time…,
There’s outcry about the usual bad taste jokes coming out but what’s worst is a lot of feminists and socialists going on about the money spent trying to save five rich men. What has humanity come to….
Tragic ending but a good lesson about reinventing the wheel and ignoring established experience in a field in favour of innovation and young blood in design team. There’s a damn good engineering reason why all the existing gear is made out of titanium spheres and not two half spheres attached to a cylinder. ( Yes I know military subs have that shape but they don’t go to these extreme depths).

Nice posts, just the correct amount of obvious hypocrisy that you of course were totally oblivious to.

CAPITALISM Gods way of determining who is 'smart' and can afford $250K to be imploded to mush, at the front of the Titanic!
