Energy blow
A prime example is Germany, which has long been held up by the green zealots as a shining example of the renewables revolution.
Germany built 22,200 wind turbines; built solar panels; closed down its nuclear power plants and outlawed shale gas extraction. The result was the second most expensive electricity in Europe.
The most expensive is Denmark , which has 6, 200 turbines.

Hide AdNow Germany is building 23 new coal-fired power plants. and Germany’s coalition wants to end the moratorium on shale gas stating: “We cannot afford an ideological ban.”
Germany’s environment minister said: “Wind electricity from our 22,200 turbines is unaffordable and unreliable.”
Germany has not reduced CO² levels at all because it had to build additional coal-burning plants to support unreliable wind power.
Our scientifically illiterate politicians refuse to listen and keep building these useless expensive wind turbines to satisfy their egos.
