Energy Expert Warns Of EU Power Blackouts, ‘Numerous Deaths’

blackout moonThe danger of blackouts in Europe is increasing, warns a German energy export. The result could be “numerous deaths “. Also, $10 a gallon is not far off…

In a recent interview with independent journalist Boris Reitschuster, German energy expert Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt warns that the risk of a power blackout in Europe is increasing as baseload power gets decommissioned and more unstable renewable energies are fed in.

Larger blackouts would mean “numerous deaths” and that Germany’s neighbors would be “dragged into the abyss.” Particularly Holland, Belgium, the north of France, and above all, Austria would be affected.

Wind and sun are flopping

Vahrenholt describes Europe’s recent energy supply development, which is increasingly focused on weather-dependent sources such as wind and sun, as “dramatic”.

Currently, grid operators are struggling to “keep the system running to the bitter end,” says Vahrenholt. Already aluminum and steel plants are being shut down.

As energy supplies tighten, there’s a risk that cities will blackouts. Policymakers are “underestimating the problem”.

Worse, the seriousness of the situation is not recognized in politics and the media, so that there will be real impacts in the next one to two years, says Vahrenholt. He warns people will not put up with this much longer. “They told us otherwise,” they will say.

Energy shortages will fuel inflation

“They aren’t concerned about the climate at all, it’s about breaking away from being a highly developed industrialized country,” says Vahrenholt.

Ten dollars a gallon not far off

The energy shortages will also lead to considerable inflation, as is already evident at the petrol stations: “Two euros per liter of gasoline is not the end of the end of it,” warns Vahrenholt.

He warns energy is becoming more expensive and unreliable in Germany. “We will have to get used to power cuts.” And if Nordstream 2 doesn’t come: “the lights will go out in Germany.”

    Klaudia Tanner, Minister of Defense of Austria, says it is not a matter if, but when Europe has a major power outage. She has also stated that this danger is “underestimated by all” when it could have catastrophic consequences. The Austrian government currently has a campaign encouraging citizens to buy enough food for several days, having fuel, candles, batteries, and plenty of drinking water. The full article is at:

  2. David Lewis says:

    From the very beginning, the global warming/climate change movement has had two parts. One is the fantasy that there is a problem and that the problem can be solved by wind and solar power. This fantasy is well protected by the media and re-enforced by political agendas hitchhiking on the movement. The second part of this issue are the true facts that there is no need to take action climate change. In addition wind and solar can not power an industrial society. The policy makers will continue to live in the fantasy reality catches up. They won’t see it coming until long power outages become common.

    The comment “They aren’t concerned about the climate at all, it’s about breaking away from being a highly developed industrialized country,” is very real. Defectors have told us of organizations that are attempting to use the climate change movement as a means of forcing de-industrialization. With steel and aluminum factories shutting down in Europe, they have a good start.

    This whole thing is leading to a New World Order(NWO)all lead by the Socialists united Nations radical Eco-Freaks want fewer People on the earth and many even want Humans to go extincted

    Approximately nine months after the Great Northeast Blackout of November 9, 1965, a very large number of babies were born in the greater New York area. So, it seems that blackouts have unintended consequences.
