Germany Closes Its Last Nuclear Plants

April 20, 2023 By The Editors

Despite an ongoing energy crisis in the country, the German government has chosen to close the country’s last remaining nuclear power facilities. Zero Hedge’s Tyler Durden remarks:

One might say that the timing could not be worse for the implementation of “net zero” climate goals given the already boiling economic instability across the western world.  Then again, maybe the timing is perfect for the people in power?

With stagflation still running rampant in the US and Europe the last thing anyone should be worried about is a less than 1°C rise in global temperatures in the past 100 years.  There is no concrete evidence of any significant climate crisis, and all the people who tell us a crisis is right around the corner do so while raking in billions in funding dollars from governments and think-tank institutions with a vested interest in reinforcing the hysteria.  In other words, there is no basis for exponential restrictions on “greenhouse gas” emissions.  The climate crisis claim is a sham. 

When the policies of the climate cult are examined with a clear head, it becomes obvious that saving the planet is not a primary concern.  Rather, the purpose of the agenda is to increase power to government bureaucracies on a level not seen since the feudal empires of centuries past.  Get ready for the return of the peasant lifestyle…

One factor that consistently arises in the fight over climate change mandates is the increasing need for energy clashing with deliberate cuts to the means of production.  Establishment elites want restricted energy access for the public, and they want people to pay more for each slice of the ever shrinking pie.  A perfect example of this dynamic is the widespread effort by such governments to shut down nuclear power plants, one of the cleanest forms of energy we have from the standpoint of carbon emissions.  

Germany, already in the midst of an energy shortfall due to the loss of natural gas supplies from Russia, has also just closed its last three operational nuclear power plants this past week, leaving the nation high and dry when it comes to easy accessible electricity.  Germany has some of the highest residential electricity prices in all of Europe and they are about to explode even more in the near term.

As energy prices rose last year as a result of the Ukraine conflict, certain members of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government became hesitant to close the nuclear plants as planned on December 31, 2022. Scholz agreed to a one-time extension of the deadline but insisted on the final countdown taking place on April 15.

Alongside the closure of the nuclear plants, German multinational electric utility E.ON increased its prices by as much as 45% starting June 1.
