Angela and Company put Germany on Energy transitioning hormones, but there’s a problem. Not much wind and not enough sun. And there’s no easy way to turn back. The nation’s last three Nuclear plants are decommissioning, which leaves Deutschland in dire straits.

We’ve discussed heating homes and austerity planning, which are concerns. Germans won’t get much further into the 21st century without fossil fuels. But like many Western idiocracies, the energy trans has an equally flawed forced transportation transition. And not just from a manufacturing standpoint; EVs are dirty, and unsustainable, but in Germany, driving them is worse for the environment than Diesel engined vehicles.
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is causing a stir with a study that takes away the aura of climate friendliness from electric cars. According to this, such compact class cars consumed around 175 grams of CO2 per kilometer in the first half of 2022 due to the electricity generated and the production. A modern diesel, on the other hand, emits 153 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
If the last three German nuclear power plants are taken offline in April 2023, the scientists predict a value of 184 grams of carbon dioxide – 20,3 percent more than with a diesel.
EVs cost more to buy, cost more to maintain, and have crap-resale value (or should) from the threat of battery replacement ($12-20k). There is no formula where we can create enough green energy (which isn’t even green) to offset an EVs total carbon footprint, even if they could solve the rare-earth metal problem that puts this program in the grave in a few short decades.
But wait, there’s more failure. First gen EV pickup trucks have demonstrated that there is no future for battery-powered heavy machinery. The freshman class of street haulers loses significant range with any large load and if you need to run the heater because it’s cold, forget it. You might as well hitch up some horses to a wagon. You’ll get there sooner.
And none of this is a secret. The public domain is loaded with research and data, but the government, ours included, is printing trillions to force these transitions, resulting in some systemic form of self-harm.
You can’t run today’s western economies on this plan, which means there is no looking forward. It’s the pre-destined backward engineering of society.
The only genuinely green transition is to hydro and nuclear, and as we’ve already reported, we’re years behind if anyone is serious about net-zero anything but modernity itself.
And we’ve suggested that was the goal too.
But not to get too far off-topic, Germany and everyone else in the northern hemisphere have a bigger EV problem than they did yesterday. One they – the elites – will have to ignore, bury, or hide.
