“Catastrophic report”: Whopping 88% of those surveyed see the move to green energies as unachievable!
Most Germans used to be enthusiastic supporters of the country’s Energiewende (transition to renewable energies), especially in the early days when they were brazenly misled about the endeavor’s humungous costs and technical limitations. [emphasis, links added]
Those days are gone.
“Catastrophic report”
As the government gears up to try to pass legislation that would force most homeowners to carry out an extensive renovation to their homes and upgrades to their heating systems, the Energiewende is suddenly no longer looking like a bargain and is no longer welcome by the vast majority of Germans, according to a Forsa survey.
The sun and wind don’t deliver energy for free after all.
Austrian alternative media AUF 1 reports via Telegram (emphasis added):
The current Forsa survey on the subject of the transition to green energies gives the German government a catastrophic report card. Almost 90 percent of Germans no longer believe in the so-called energy transition – a historically low figure.
In a similar survey in 2011, almost 40 percent still hoped for its success. Among the few who are convinced is Chancellor Scholz. ‘We can and will succeed in the energy transition,’ he recently announced in Berlin.
German industry, on the other hand, is less confident, warning of a total exodus of the manufacturing sector due to the expected electricity shortage and enormous energy prices.”
AUF 1 reports here on its website that “only ten percent still believe that Germany’s energy needs can indeed be covered by sun and wind energy.”

I guess people start waking up to the farce that is “green energy” when it really starts hitting them in the wallet and seeing blackouts and brownouts. Gotta wonder when Californians are going to do the same. Also in UK, Australia and other nations that are pushing this faster like in Germany.
I’m not familiar with a/the “Forsa survey”.
Many surveys/polls are conducted and the results are never released, if the results don’t match what the ‘client’ wanted. May well have happened in places like California.
So I finally got around to searching “Forsa Survey”. It’s basically a ‘do-it-yourself’ survey. Not cheap. From the article I’m guessing that “Austrian alternative media” conducted the survey. From looking at the AUF 1 website, it seems that they may be a tad biased. Pass the salt, I need a grain of it.
There is no law against trying to push a rope up a tree. Angela Merkel and her ilk will never be held accountable.
