French and German Electricity Prices Up by 1,000 Per Cent over 2021

France and Germany both set records on Friday for electricity prices, as the sanctions war with Russia continues to bite.

This time last year the cost of electricity per megawatt-hour (MWh) in both France and Germany sat at around 85 euros. On Friday, both countries set record highs, with the cost climbing by at least 1,000 per cent from last year to €850 in Germany and over €1,000 in France, Le Monde reports.

While the price of energy has been rising since the end of the lockdown measures across the world last summer, Europe, and Germany in particular, have been subject to soaring prices as a result of slowing flows of gas from Russia following the sanctions clash following the February invasion of Ukraine, with many thermal power plants using natural gas to generate electricity.

Despite longstanding warnings from figures such as former President Donald Trump, Germany has remained heavily reliant on Russia for gas while it has pursued so-called green energy sources and shut down nuclear power stations.

Energy-intensive industries such as steel, chemical, and fertilizer manufacturing are shutting their European factories amid rising costs and concerns that Russia may cut off its supply, per the WSJ

Some European factories are being forced to shut down due to soaring global energy prices, report says

Rising energy prices and fears over Russian gas supplies are making it difficult for European factories to stay competitive.

They voted for green Socialists and all fawned over that retard Greta... let them starve in the fucking dark.

America isn't coming to bail them out again. And we don't 'need' most of what they produce anyway... Maybe when Americans start to see their European cousins starving... and freezing. And fighting Muzzies in the streets. And getting shot by their tyrannical governments... they'll wise up to the nightmare that is "Socialism."

Or maybe they will smarten up and guillotine the Klaus Schwab's and Green Commies and Greta's and other commies. And take back their place as a capitalist continent.

Until then, I'll be laughing my ass off...

Meanwhile, Japan is re-opening and expanding nuclear power plants.

And you know how much they love nukes over there!

I want to say well that's their problem, but with our government we will probably give them billions of dollars.

 

[kthomas]

Lol, architects of their own demise.

The level of idiocy is amazing.

But they tell us " if you don't like the price of gasoline buy an electric car." Those of us who ain't idiots know that they intend to ration the electric.

Just remember 81,000,000 of your fellow Americans voted for this.

...

Just remember 81 of your fellow Americans voted for this a million times each.

FIFY,

Wouldn't surprise me. Next thing you know China will be attacking the mainland. Oh wait...they already did. Ahem, I mean a more brazen physical attack.

sounds like other governments like bidens have to go away ( for the good of the people )

Who would have thought through technological advancements, more efficient products, cleaner, and cheaper ways to produce energy, all the benefits of 21st century advancements, that Europeans would have to choose between going broke, and freezing to death in the winters.

Great job guys. Glad to see them windmills and Russian gas is working out for you.

Russia should have shut all of them down back in February when they joined the sanctions brigade against Russia.
Maybe Putin figured that the ring leader, the USA, would deplete their resources before turning off the spigot.

All part of the Green New Genocide .
They told you this was going to happen .

 

[tomcatmv]

It's already happening here as well. I'm paying almost double what I was paying last year here in Texas and our asses are sitting on more nat. gas and oil than almost any other place on the planet. Let's go Brandon!

Germany will pull the plug on three of its last six nuclear power stations on Friday (31 December), another step towards completing its withdrawal from nuclear power as it turns its focus to renewables

lol
