The energy follies of Germany\u2019s current Socialist\/Green government continue to compound unabated. It turns out the coalition partner Greens cannot even get renewable energy to work at their own party headquarters in Berlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>German Green Party\u2019s energy policy mastermind, Robert Habeck, can\u2019t even get the heat pump at his headquarters to work after years of construction\u00a0and millions in costs. State Department photo by Freddie Everett\/Public Domain<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can the Greens demand everyone else convert to a heat pump when they can\u2019t even get their own to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Greens of the Socialist-Green coalition government are pushing to ban fossil fuel furnaces from every home and building in Germany and forcing them to install heat pumps in their place, it has emerged that the Greens themselves cannot even manage to get their own heat pump up and running at their Berlin party headquarters! Oh, the irony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to media outlets, the Green Party headquarter in Berlin-Mitte has been a big messy heat pump construction jobsite \u201cfor years\u201d \u2013 since 2019. Costs have run into the millions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And still no heat after 5 million euros in costs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere at the Green Party headquarters in Berlin, construction has been going on for years. The heat pump is still not running,\u201d reports RTL here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Greens are experiencing first-hand how complicated it is to heat an old building with a heat pump,\u201d\u00a0RTL continues<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cThe renovation costs a total of five million euros. The heat pump is there, but does not heat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refuse to learn from their own debacle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDer Spiegel\u201d reports on the heat pump debacle and how \u201cheating the old building in a renewable way is not that easy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently the work is far more complicated than the Greens previously thought as the project entails major renovation works, excavation, permits, expert personnel and special equipment. And now after having endured the construction, installation and cost woes for years, it remains a mystery today why the Green Party would want the rest of the country to experience the same nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragging on for years, costing millions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2019, the Greens, chaired by Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck, decided to rebuild their party headquarters in Berlin and modernize it in terms of energy, reports RND news here<\/a>. \u201cThe gas boiler in the party\u2019s old building was to make way for a modern heat pump, among other things. However, the measures were not carried out quickly, and have been dragging on for three and a half years, as the news magazine \u2018Spiegel\u2019 reported. So this is not exactly a showcase example for quick and unbureaucratic energy-efficient renovation. Doesn\u2019t the transition to renewable energies and heating demanded by the Greens even work within the party headquarters\u2019 own four walls?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greens have become the country\u2019s number one laughing stock. Little wonder they\u2019ve lost almost half of their supporters over the recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
