Probably, but then Europe has been trying to commit suicide for a long time now. "The cost squeeze threatens to abort the economic recovery just as the furlough scheme winds down and fiscal stimulus fades. In a worst case scenario it could lead to systemic havoc akin to the industrial paralysis and candle-lit evenings endured in the 1970s, something that no government or prime minister can survive. *** [Clive Moffatt, a gas consultant and former adviser to the Government on energy security, said:] ““We could easily see a three-day working week. The Government has been playing dangerous games with the grid and has allowed a situation to develop that is outside their control. It’s terribly depressing.” Gareth Stace, director-general of UK Steel, said power prices had already reached “extortionate” levels and was forcing a partial suspension of operations across the sector. “Even with the global steel market as buoyant as it is, these eye-watering prices are making it impossible to profitably make steel at certain times of the day and night. The situation gets more urgent each and every day,” he said."
WILL “GREEN” ENERGY DESTROY EUROPE? I don't think so. Green energy is actually a worthwhile idea. The problem is that we have allowed politics to demand it before it is ready and, worse, we have allowed government to become involved in it.
