Drunk On Green Frogs Croak Lights

“People aren’t mosquitos,” says progressive frog, but they ain’t blind polar bears either as desperate anti-fossil fuel Paris pols “ask” folks & biz to follow their “lead” by turning down the thermostat & dimming lights as winter nears …

As the WSJ story notes, even “famed monuments [including the Christmas tree effect on Eiffel Tower] are going dark early as part of [President Macron’s] call for ‘emergency sobriety’ in France.” Among other things, the drunk on green government is asking “municipalities, households & companies to reduce their energy consumption by 10% over two years.” Could it be because the government’s green policies transitioning away from fossil fuels was being implemented too soon, too fast, and therefore foolishly? No. We’re told it’s to counter Russia’s decision to cut the flow of natural gas to Europe … which, btw, had rejected Trump’s call for Europe to follow America’s lead by weening themselves off Russian gas and first become energy independent, then, green savvy.

Not that the French are alone in the totally foreseeable energy dilemma. Observes the WSJ: “Others across the continent are making their own adjustments. Italy’s government plans to restrict the heating in homes and businesses. The Netherlands is urging residents to shorten their shower times. Finland is encouraging its population to cut the amount of time they spend on digital devices. Monuments in Germany are also going dark.” Ironically, all these energy geniuses are most likely STILL not seeing the light needed to “transition” with common sense rather than wishful thinking.
