Eon Chief Warns Of Further Price Increases In Germany

Blackout News reports that there’s no end in sight for Germany’s self-inflicted energy crisis. Energy prices are expected to continue rising, thus posing a huge risk to industry

This is, of course, no surprise as Germany, driven by radical ‘green’ dogmatism, has shut down its fleet of nuclear power plants and is moving to also eliminate power plants [pictured above] fired by coal and natural gas.

The country’s economy and environmental policy are led by Economics Minister Robert Habeck.

The problem is that Habeck is woefully unqualified for leading the country’s federal economics ministry.

In 2000, Habeck received his doctorate in literature and philosophyat the University of Hamburg and has no experience in any fields of economics, business, engineering, or energy.

Recently Habeck claimed that companies do not go bankrupt, rather they just stop producing, and that the economy was okay – “only the numbers are bad.”

EON chief warns of further rising energy costs

At the beginning of the year, the head of Eon, Leonard Birnbaum, announced higher electricity prices and this is “now manifesting itself in reality,” reports Blackout News. “A few weeks after this forecast, energy companies EnBW and EWE announced their intention to increase tariffs.

The increase will average six percent.

Birnbaum blames “increased investment costs” as the expansion of renewable energies and their integration into the electricity grid requires “rapid and intelligent grid expansion as well as sufficient reserve capacity.

“In view of current developments, Birnbaum warns of further price increases if the political leadership does not take decisive countermeasures. Energy-intensive industry in particular is severely affected by rising electricity costs, which jeopardizes its competitiveness.

Birnbaum also says that wind energy has been hampered by “uncoordinated planning” and the “problem of overloading the electricity grids due to the uneven distribution of wind turbines.

    In order to get the more than 6 billion euros that Germoney’s slaves supposedly own, energy prices have to keep rising.
