EC President Seeks 'Emergency Intervention' in Electricity Market

Please note Ursula von der Leyen Calls for 'Emergency Intervention' in Electricity Market.

"The skyrocketing electricity prices are now exposing, for different reasons, the limitations of our current electricity market design," the European Commission president said on Monday while addressing the Bled Strategic Forum in Slovenia. "[The market] was developed under completely different circumstances and for completely different purposes. It is no longer fit for purpose.

"That is why we, the Commission, are now working on an emergency intervention and a structural reform of the electricity market. We need a new market model for electricity that really functions and brings us back into balance."

Under this system, all electricity producers – from fossil fuels to wind and solar – bid into the market and offer power according to their production costs. The bidding starts from the cheapest resources – the renewables – and finishes with the most expensive ones, usually gas.

Since most EU countries still rely on fossil fuels to meet all their energy demands, the final price of electricity is often set by the price of gas. If gas becomes more expensive, electricity bills inevitably go up, even if clean, cheaper sources also contribute to the total energy supply.


What a hoot. If clean energy was really cheaper and easier to produce, without subsidies, it would have won out long ago.

Clean may be cheaper now, but that is thanks to the EU's sanctions on Russia.

Meanwhile...

I wonder if 'their' plan is to throw the incompetent politicians out, and replace them with competent, yet even more dangerous, rulers.
Same as with flu. Did anyone leave for locking up billions of people? Take any responsibility? Or reflection? Anyone mourn the 1000s of extra young people that committed suicide because of loneliness? Let alone any aftereffects?

These people have private jets and an army to protect them.

The policy is clear less CO2 or nitrogen means less energy, less food, less consumption, less cultures, less identity, less production, less cars, less homes, less babies for more people. A world in which everyone is equally poor.

It's how the English were starving Europe by bombing all harbors and transport lines in WW2. How the US starved Japan by firebombing all industrial cities. A good fight between Europe and Russia will weaken both and will strengthen the international position of the US.

There are many parallels with the Irish famine, resulting from a hyperspecialized and organized country ruled by a select group of landowners. Potatoes and meat. As is Europe today dependent on windmills and solar panels as we shut down all coal plants/mines & nuclear plants. There are a few politicians that have the power to decide what 100s of millions of people will do and there is an army of 100.000s that are enforcing the laws they made up.

Any decisions they make and law they create has huge effects. And instead of giving power back to the people, they take more and more. I'm quite convinced it will end like the famine. These megacontrolsystems become very fragile. And they are enforcing them contrary to the will of the people. Many people feels this goes wrong but they think they know better.

It's a combination or arrogance, malevolence, naivety, irresponsibility and lack of reflection. Evil basically.

Factories shutting down production cause of energy costs makes no sense.
All they have to do is raise the prices on their own end products to remain profitable.
No, not really. Mass factory production relies on predictability and stability in order to run large, efficient operations. Without that, you could start a product manufacturing run, and by the time it's finished discover that its cost was 20x than what you planned, and go bankrupt before you even have the opportunity to sell those products, let alone sell them at 20x the price.

In an environment where costs are increasing by over 50% on a monthly basis, there is no amount of offloading costs to consumers that can save a factory.

What's happening with the energy crisis in Europe is so incredible it almost beggars belief. How could these leaders have been so stupid to sanction Russia knowing they are reliant on them for the natural gas they need to literally maintain their societies? Further, how can they double down on their stupidity when the utterly catastrophic consequences of their terrible decision have inevitably manifested? Let us be clear: this is nothing short of a civilizational crisis. Western civilization as we know it cannot function with electricity prices 10x their normal rate. The modern world is built on a foundation of cheap energy, and without it billions of people will die. It's as simple as that. Just as a human body cannot function without blood, the modern world cannot function without electricity. And these politicians are deliberately starving their societies of electricity. It's impossible to explain this as stupidity. This is literally the equivalent of someone slicing open their own artery and then acting surprised when they bleed to death.

What can explain this? Obviously it is some sort of malice, but I'm starting to think that the WEF/NWO types are themselves unknowing pawns of Satan, in the sense that he is using them as fall guys. Their job is to essentially bring the world to the brink of destruction, so that the Antichrist can then ride in, defeat them and "save the day" to the great applause of the masses. The Antichrist will then have free rein and public approval to build his new world system without anything standing in the way. People will flock to him and take his mark in droves if only he can provide a return to peace and prosperity. Be wise to this possibility.

This is the exact same possibility that I ponder more and more. Pretty simple trick isn't it? Who said that the end of the world will need to be a complicated affair. Plus Satan loves sacrificing his useful idiots. Another box ticked.

This brings another conclusion: in this scenario, looking at the rate the world is unraveling, the AC should be closer than we think. At the end of this decade things will reach the very bottom.

Well, the explanation of European suicide is very simple: the USA is a psychopathic, sadistic bully who has controlled his victim Europe since WW2 through a mixture of brute force and Stockholm-syndrome type of psychological conditioning, and is happy to have Europe get badly hurt in the pursuit of his sick goals.

Europe itself doesn't want to commit suicide, of course, but it has to blindly obey everything that the USA says, and the idea of resisting or reaching out to friends and bystanders doesn't even occur to it, no matter how badly it gets hurt.

Since Europe can't stand up to its bully, and can't even admit that it is being bullied because that would be psychologically humiliating and crushing to its remaining self-esteem, instead you get these bizzare mental gymnastics of Europeans either blaming them on Russia or treating the effects of its suicidal actions as if they were natural disasters, acts of God, or somehow similarly impossible to prevent.

It's a sad tale of a totally broken, humiliated, unrepentant people who deserve to go extinct, just like their American counterparts.

I think it's like 10% malice and 90% incompetency, bureaucracy and corruption.

You nailed it in the last sentence. They are unknowing.
But in the first sentence you say "to sanction Russia knowing"...

They don't know.

It's easy for us on this forum to assume that the bodies that make up the government have at least a little bit of competency in what they do. But the truth is they are mostly Godless fools.

And this is their fruit coming into season.

It's impossible to feel bad for 70% of Europeons. This is the future they chose. Keep flying that Ukraine flag fools.
Wrong! Most Europeans are normal and working class. The whole time I was in Germany I asked almost everyone I came across about the migrant situation. Young, old, man and woman, no one supported it. No one asked. If you believe the media hypnosis that it was somehow popular then the media did it's job. Just like in America, even on college campuses, most kids are not insane leftoids. Many skew left, but the raging lunatics are a small, vocal minority who want you to think they are the majority. Joe Biden can win an election with less than 40 people showing up to his rallies. The media is a hypnosis machine.

Europe has some of the most secure voting in the world. Voter ID's, finger-print voting, and they vote far-left retards all day long. This is the future they choose. They open the borders and fly the ukie flags willingly and dare not ask the consequences of their actions.

Keep in mind, 70% seems like a high number, but when you factor in that most women are total sheep, it's easier to understand. I bet if it was just men, it'd only be 50% of Euro's in favor of suicide.

Please link to me where Europeans voted for migrants or to embargo Russia.
