The ‘transition’ to wind and solar is delivering punishing power prices to those who can least afford it, and the inevitable power rationing surrounding collapses in wind and solar output is crushing businesses of all shapes and sizes.

The zealots behind it couldn’t care less about the vulnerable and impoverished that drift along at the very edge of society. And are more than content to destroy enterprise and businesses and, indeed, whole industries along with the thousands of jobs they generate.

Beaten by Vlad Putin’s ability to restrict the gas it needs to run fast-start-up gas peaking plants (essential to cover rapid and unpredictable collapses in wind output and rapid and wholly predictable collapses in solar output).

There isn’t any hope of Germany or Britain avoiding an outright energy calamity, this coming winter. Power prices are spiralling out of control, with no end in sight, and electricity and gas rationing are already the new normal. How long the proletariat will stand for it, is another matter.
