Green energy is bringing about ‘industrial collapse’ for Germany
Menzies Research Centre Executive Director Nick Cater says the green energy transition has been “disastrous” for Germany.
Household power in Germany was the highest in Europe in the second half of 2023.
“They were the poster child of green energy ... every field it seems is covered in solar panels and windmills but it’s not doing the trick,” Mr Cater told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“It’s been a disaster for Germany and it's bringing about their industrial collapse.”

The French are not pinching themselves, they are building 6 new and planned 8 more nuclear power plants. It should be noted that they currently have 96 reactors - some of them are undergoing modernization and renovation. Please watch: _French plan to build 80 nuclear power plants in 15 years. How many were created?_
READ ALL OF THIS ,,,, A wind farm talks to farmer (land owner) a deal is made where the land owner is told after 20 or 25 years the installation will be given to them on top of the rent that has been paid over the past years . sounds good but the farms costs are so big as to have the landholder going backwards financially so the farmer bails out and sells the new owner is then lumbered with all the costs and no benefit. Now as i have said before if u add up all the concrete slabs under all the land-based turbines in Australia it would have made three hydro plants with a life of 100 years. so why is hydro not green power?
Nothing to do with renewables. It's all to do with mismanagement of their energy supply.

It continues to build coal fired power plants and exports large quantities of renewable energy equipment which is uneconomical and unreliable for large scale power generation.

I can see the UK going the same way. There are only 9 operational reactors in the UK producing 5.9 GWe. 8 of them are owned by EDF (French) and they only produce 20% of what the UK need. I could be wrong but this is what I have found from my research, others may know better. Why don't the UK govenment invest in their own nuclear power stations, why is everything owned by foreign companies. Got to be backhanders going on somewhere (allegedly).

Indeed. The current Australian government is colluding with ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions. It is misappropriating massive amounts of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects. It is acting contrary to the national interest.
Never even priced nuclear for Australia in the first place. China would have been very upset by that. Wind and solar for us while they go coal.
It doesn't matter how many wind or light collectors you plant, they can never provide cheap baseload power....full stop..!
But that's what the WEF want and they got it too.
Ha ha ha the KZread warning note is the most funny bit of misinformation I’ve ever seen
The German company I work for has moved some manufacturing to another country, just this year.🙁
It's the same in Australia......... solar panels and wind turbines cannot supply enough reliable power to keep industries in Australia running. gas peaking plants are the only solution should we wish to maintain any sort of large-scale manufacturing
OH DEAR, OH DEAR, you mean that these over educated, over privileged got it wrong? Suppose real life experience has a value, something these people may have in twenty or thirty years.

Why do we listen to "experts" who can't pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly?
We are doomed.
From WC, USA, our electricity here in North East Tennessee comes from TVA and then down to and through our local power company! The power is produced by dams on rivers, coal, now more natural gas, and nuclear! Our cost here at our house is usually 9 to 10 cents per kilowatt! I rarely have a power bill of over $200. Per month and there are months in the spring and fall when it is under $100. Per month! My sister-in-law in Bavaria Germany pays 30 cents Euro for One Kilowatt! So you can see what a disaster it has been for Germany to shut down their Nuclear power plants! And no help or improvement in sight for them!
Nick Cater speakes so clearly as it is. Thanks to a sensible person speaking out.
Duh.
Austerity and a bombed pipeline are related somehow, but I'm forgetting all reasons to try, here
It's bringing new opportunities around the world.
When the term “Net Zero” has a Totally different Meaning……..
Governments need a plan for transition to green energy that MUST include nuclear and hydro, thermal power to plug gaps on wind and solar production, Must include upgrade of national electric power infrastructure to support full nation use of electricity only power for homes and cars. ALL this will cost billions. If governments dont do this energy disruptions and high costs will be inevitable.
So I live in Canada where it gets insanely cold and my electric bill in a house with all LED lights and hi efficiency everything and my electric bill is at least 1/3 higher than gas, and they would have you believe that heat pumps which don't work in our cold are the way to go

Solar panels are made from silica. Which is very aggressively mined, the silica is heated using massive amounts of coal to turn into silica glass. At about 35 degrees of latitude, north or south of the equator, the amount of energy you need for a solar panel to be built, mined, manufactured etc is greater than the total amount of energy that panel will produce in it`s 20 year lifespan. We have good reason to be sceptical of a theory if: (1) Its proponents don't allow debates; (2) All predictions made based on that theory have been proven wrong; (3) Its proponents committed frauds. Does Man-made Climate Change theory fit the above? Never in the history of science has any field refused to discuss or debate their conclusions or even come close to making the absurd statement that the 'Science is settled.' Science is NEVER EVER settled. (but the politics is!!) The very nature of science itself states this boldly. There are a ton of theories and relatively few laws. They are acting as if their argument is a law similar to that of gravity. How absurdly arrogant and ridiculous. Where in history do we find similar behaviour ? Religion ! They are an anarchist death-cult. Science works through research and debate - not censorship, propaganda, faith, or intimidation. Climate "experts" are consistently wrong in their "expert" forecasts, yet they are never called to account! The temperature has risen half a degree Celsius in the last 150 years and that coincided with the end of ''The Little Ice Age'' so the starting point for that declaration was the end of the coldest period in the last TWO THOUSAND YEARS!!
power takes people out of poverty, lets do coal
Germany get power from France when the renewables don't provide enough.
I got solar panels and over their warrantied lifetime they will produce at 9.5 cents per kwh based on real production after 1 year. Without incentives included and with net metering(no battery). So, I think this story is full of crap.

Green subsidies and mandates are in place because these products would not survive the free market. Right now many governments are taxing hard working people so they can write cheques to rich people so they can trade in their BMW's and buy a Tesla, a luxury consumer product, in some kind of twisted logic that this is how we save a planet.

This is what you're refusing to acknowledge. Your oil subsidy is also a common trope among climate zealots and isn't valid. There is no return in the form of pollution fighting and EVs are just as environmentally destructive as ICE vehicles. Possibly more so. Batteries are an enormous issue which you folks sweep under the rug and ignore because it ruins your narrative. *"Economic reason: They destroy the dirty oil industry.
