Want a glimpse of what Canada is going to look like under Dear Leader’s green plans? Energy crisis in Britain. And just in time for winter.

To put things in perspective for American readers, by our standards, energy prices were always shockingly high. I’ve been there a few times, beginning in the 1980’s. Back then, electricity was so expensive that you didn’t dare leave even a small “wall wart” transformer plugged in if you didn’t need it.
For those in southern England at least, central heating was rare. Instead you had storage heaters that you turned on during the day so that the low wattage heating element could have all day to heat a bunch of bricks inside. Then when you arrived home in the evening, you opened a vent to let the heat into the room.
So if energy prices are now shockingly high by European standards, they are orbiting the moon by American standards.
The next best thing to burning dried dung.
I fully remember storage heaters, however I recall the practice was to heat the bricks during off-peak times when the rates were lower and they would switch off at peak times.
Never had to open vents, the entire cabinet was quite hot.
I lived in the North, and we had central heating. Our first house was oil fired, and the second was coal-fired, which was cheaper, but no use if we went away for a few days as I had to stoke it regularly.
We are simply witnessing the left delivering on a promise made by Obama in 2008.

Wealth redistribution. Sheep understand the elites are talking about making them poorer, not themselves right? Tax the rich, tax the rich. Sure. What’s theirs is theirs, what’s ours will be theirs.
I remember Europe snubbing Canadian oil as part of their ‘Green’ superiority.
Let the eurotrash freeze. It looks good on them.
Boy, would it suck to have the last name Trudeau. I wonder why his kids think of him?
It is a pathetic thing this Canada. People born here apparently are now so dumb, they think that we no longer have sub zero temps and multiple feet/meters of snow in winter. Just one more symptom of the insanity that I have referenced when it comes to today’s citizens. We will not survive without fossil fuels. It is a physical impossibility no matter who says otherwise.
The thought of tens of thousands of people freezing to death gives leftists serious boner. Don’t make the mistake of thinking the climate movement is a noble cause or has anything to do with making a better future for humanity. As someone once said the left loves humanity, it’s the humans they can’t stand.
Including our leader with a minority.
Oh, they have an answer to that: “Climate change! Reeeeee!” B.C. had a colossal rainfall back in December, that washed out roads and rail lines and caused serious supply problems. Their idiot premier just squawked that this went to show that climate change really was the menace they’d been warning about, and they’d be taking suitably green steps to combat it. At the moment I think Vancouver is planning to outlaw all but electric vehicles within a few years. They never learn.
Will you all have to gather at Government Warming Huts? Properly Rationed alphabetically… so you can get warm every other day. On the off days, you will have your Buffalo hides to keep you warm. Eh?
When a cold front moves in during the winter, it often brings blizzard-like conditions. But once the front gets established, a strange thing happens — the wind stops blowing. The coldest days are often very still. That’s because cold air is dense. It takes a lot of energy to push it around one.
Although this effect is common on the Canadian prairies, it also happens in places like Europe.
The coldest nights are when there is a stationary high pressure zone – no clouds and no wind, so windmills and solar panels are useless.
Charging higher fuel prices is a plot to freeze the balls off males. Progressives want a ‘gender-free’ society.
freeze the balls off males
So that’s what happened to Dear Leader…..
Haha! They’ve tea-bagged themselves.
The Patriarchy Strikes Back !
It is a warning which will be ignored, with governments giving extravagant grants for electric vehicles and heat pumps, both unfit for Canadian conditions.
