Europe\u2019s Energy Crisis Is a Warning Sign for America<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

An\u00a0energy crisis<\/a>\u00a0is rocking the world, the likes of which we haven\u2019t seen since the 1970s. Although headlines about energy costs in faraway nations may not breach busy families\u2019 political radar, the energy shortages and skyrocketing prices spreading across Europe and Asia are a warning sign for America.<\/p>\n

If we allow the anti-energy, anti-prosperity climate cartel to control the political process\u2014if Green New Deal-style policies become reality\u2014our nation\u2019s future will be dire indeed.<\/p>\n

In Britain,\u00a0electricity reserves could fall to as low as 4 percent of demand<\/a>, with blackouts this winter all but inevitable, and petrol stations continue to sit empty. India\u2019s \u201cunprecedented\u201d coal shortage has officials\u00a0warning of impending power cuts<\/a>\u00a0as coal plants that normally carry 15 to 30 days\u2019 reserves\u2014and power most of the nation\u2014now have enough fuel for two days or less.<\/p>\n

Even China,\u00a0an energy and economic powerhouse, is being\u00a0forced to halt production<\/a>\u00a0of everything from aluminum to soybeans, further worsening global supply chain issues and potentially threatening the world\u2019s food supply.<\/p>\n

And this crisis isn\u2019t limited to countries that actively embrace fossil fuels. Even Germany, decades into its unsuccessful\u00a0Energiewende\u00a0<\/em>transition to renewable energy and supposedly a world leader in green power, is feeling the crunch. One German power plant\u00a0completely ran out of coal<\/a>. All those eggs in the renewable basket still weren\u2019t enough to insulate Germany\u2014which, despite its bombastic commitment to wind and solar, still gets most of its energy from fossil fuels\u2014from energy shortages and skyrocketing prices.<\/p>\n
