Freezing In The Dark

Spiked- Berlin’s blackout was a grim taste of our Net Zero future

Berlin’s horrendous four-day blackout, which plunged over 45,000 households in the city’s south-west into darkness, is finally over. Beginning last Saturday and lasting for four nights, the blackouts left homes, shops and care facilities without light, heating and communications access – just as a particularly nasty cold spell sent temperatures plummeting to minus-10 degrees Celsius. The far-left ‘Volcano Group’ (Vulkangruppe) has claimed responsibility for the blackout, which it reportedly achieved by setting fire to electricity cables connected to Berlin’s largest gas power plant.

  1. Funny … San Francisco’s multiple blackouts are simply due to shirked maintenance. PG&E refusing to perform the most BASIC maintenance of their plant and equipment.

    I guess there are all kinds of ways to achieve Net Zero … just let the infrastructure decay. Mission accomplished.

  2. Malice or incompetence,it does not matter.
    Banish them all..C.A.G.E is the perfect new home for those who hate our technological civilization..
    A point as far north as we can go for those who vandalize the infrastructure we depend on.
    Of course ,in a bow to natural justice, 40,000 Volts would be a most fitting reward for such idiots.

  3. So they burned the cables connected to Berlin’s largest gas power plant. They at least knew there was no point in burning cables from the wind mills.

  4. Ironically, kinda like volcano eruptions, these actions may spread around the world.
    Of course this is terrorism.
    Critical infrastructure is just that.
    From the sounds of it, a lot of bitching and no revolting.
    Enjoy the decline, arschlochs.

  5. God Bless the Volcano Group. They’ll do while we’re waiting for an asteroid.
