Germany has destroyed all but 10% of an ancient forest to dig up and burn the dirtiest kind of coal that lies underneath

It may cut and mine the remaining 10% next year

Germany gets as much of its “renewables” from clear-cutting forests and burning them as it does from paving its landscapes with solar panels

Wind farms may be contributing significantly to the 76% decline in insects in Germany

German wind turbine blades are so coated with dead insect biomass that they must be scrubbed twice a year

German renewables may destroy yet another ancient forest — “a mystical place full of giant, gnarled, centuries-old trees, rare animals and fabulous castles... the home of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales & the oldest nature reserve in Germany.”

If Germany continues with its anti-environmental rampage, it will spend a whopping $1.3 TRILLION on top of the nearly $580 billion its already spent

By 2025, Germany will have spent $580 billion to make its electricity nearly twice as expensive & ten times more polluting than France’s.

Think of it: Germany is destroying its forests, economy, and wildlife, and polluting its cities, so that it can harmonize with nature and stop using the safest form of electricity production

The Germans are such a rational people

Not satisfied with destroying its own environment & economy, Germany is trying to raze nuclear plants across Europe. “We would like to see our neighbouring countries following our example,” Germany’s environment minister said last year

amazing how Germany’s small-is-beautiful energy transition is visible from outer space
