Europe’s Fake ‘Save the Planet’ Scheme: How the Green Energy Push is Costing Us All

I don't think most people really reflect on what the energy business means, its significance, and why those who control it dominate the world. The energy sector is the best area for companies to invest in and operate. Without energy, nothing works; all businesses and human progress depend on it. That's why those who control this business control the world. Until now, Europe has never managed to take a significant part of this market, but that was before the climate change propaganda gained momentum. This is Europe's chance to grab a piece of this business, even if it means hurting European citizens—because anything goes to save the planet, right?

Energy Prices Drive Economic Progress

I love economics because it doesn't fall for moral arguments or ideological tricks; it works in a certain way, and no amount of argument changes that. Economic progress evolves faster in countries or economic blocs with lower energy prices. Sure, it's not the only condition, but without low energy costs, it's impossible to grow economically and gain relevance.

And how do prices drop? By increasing supply. The law of supply and demand never fails. Now, hold onto this information and apply it to what I explain next.

Europe and Energy Production

Considering that Europe is not a major producer of oil or gas, it has always lived somewhat dependent on imported energy and, for a time, on energy production through nuclear power plants, which are no longer a focus in the European market. This means Europe has always been very dependent on imported energy, but this dependence causes issues—not just in price control but also in the money Europeans transfer outside of Europe to buy energy.

If an economic bloc struggles to control energy prices, it becomes dependent on others for its economic progress and the well-being of its citizens, who rely heavily on energy to survive harsh winters.

To reduce this dependence, Europe would need to produce more energy. One alternative could be more nuclear power plants, but that's not very popular among citizens and involves significant investment costs that often need state guarantees and take a long time to implement.

The other alternative would be to focus on energy production through wind, solar, and other so-called green energy sources. The problem? The production cost of this energy is significantly higher because it produces less than any other source. The annoying laws of economics come into play again, impacting economic progress and, most importantly, the pockets of Europeans. So, how could this ever compete with cheaper, more competitive imported energy? What to do? How to solve this problem? Focus on climate change and start a propaganda machine that serves as the basis for extraordinary measures. Even if they are more expensive and harmful to economic progress, they thrive in a society that cannot argue against the "let's save the planet" narrative, especially among the youth, as activists do their job well on behalf of the lobbies.

The Propaganda of the European Solution on Climate Change

Why is Europe the most invested in transitioning to so-called green energy? Because it’s the bloc that produces the least energy and wants to keep European money within Europe, even if it means increasing the energy cost burden on businesses and citizens. It's a money grab—probably the biggest of the century under the guise of saving the planet. Who could say no to the planet?

In reality, Europe is not saving any planet. First, because climate change and current CO2 levels are highly debatable, and even if that were the problem, Europe contributes only 9% of total emissions. So, it's not contributing to anything but transitioning energy production from outside the continent to within Europe—but at what cost?

The Numbers, Damned Numbers

The propaganda worked well. Most European citizens do not question it. Climate change is not up for discussion; it's a fact no one can dispute without being labeled a denier. Worse, most European citizens genuinely believe that Europe can have an impact on the world’s CO2 production, which is absolutely false. Europeans contribute 9%, yes, 9%, a very low value that tends to decrease considering that European industry is in decline. Based on the false premise that we need to save the planet, European institutions have managed to expand their power and intervene directly in the market—whether through bans or incentives given to companies that opt for green energy. Take the automotive industry, for example, which has to pay a tax for producing diesel or gasoline cars, subsidizing electric ones. We will have an additional fuel tax and other limitations to force the market to change.

The EU will once again burden its citizens and businesses to implement an agenda that benefits a new, more expensive energy industry, allowing yet another transfer of money from citizens to institutions, companies, politicians, and European elites. It's a business, not about saving the planet.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, any country or economic bloc that increases its energy costs will hinder its progress. Europe is once again cannibalizing itself. It already does so with the regulations and bureaucracy it creates for control, sending billions to the war industry and now the biggest money grabber of all—the shift of the energy industry to selected internal players. All citizens and businesses will pay more, becoming even less competitive compared to other blocs.
