I wonder if we will ever know the true extent of Russian meddling in the energy markets across Europe? You cannot tell me that Russia isn't getting its hands dirty and using various political officials who are most likely only to happy to help their comrades out...I mean how else can you account for the Wests addiction to forms of energy that don't actually work when its cold and dark??? This level of incompetence HAS to have been paid for???

Last month Argentina’s government, led by a centre-right party, abandoned energy price caps,
deeming the policy to have failed.
Argentina deployed heavy state subsidies in electricity markets and set prices for consumers; as a result investment in the energy industry plummeted,
the country lost its energy independence and power outages became frequent.
Excitable investment notes are circulating in the City praising competition-focused free market energy reforms in that country and others.

For solar powered greed:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/04/04/the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-solar-panels/
"Back in 2014, Anthony Watts pointed out an upcoming project called “Solar Roadways”. This was a project to put solar panels on roads. Hey, what’s not to like? Plenty of roadway space, put it to double use, we get free energy from the sun, right?
"Well, as Anthony presciently commented at the time …"
"All in all, it’s a colossal green tech train wreck, but these clowns may be laughing all the way to the bank, or they may be shysters, either way, there’s a sucker born every minute."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_90/The_Greens#History
"Alliance 90/The Greens, often simply (German: Bündnis 90/Die Grünen or Grüne), is a green political party in Germany, formed from the merger of the German Green Party (founded in West Germany in 1980 and merged with the East Greens in 1990) and Alliance 90(founded during the Revolution of 1989–1990 in East Germany) in 1993.[5] The focus of the party is on ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Its leaders are Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck. In the 2017 federal elections, the party came sixth with 8.9% of the votes and 67 out of 709 seats in the Bundestag."
East Germany's loyal communists, did not disappear.
