For weeks a huge uprising has been building in Germany<\/a> against NetZero, green tape and rampant taxes. The Germany government gave a partial concession last week<\/a>, but the protests only grew stronger. Not only are the autobahns and streets grid-locked with thousands of tractors and trucks, but the freight and passenger trains have also stopped in a three day strik<\/a>e. Cargo boats are blocking inland waterways and canals.<\/a> There is a looming strike of doctors<\/a> as well, and the cluster of discontent has been labelled \u201cMistgabelmop<\/em> \u201d \u2014 the pitchfork mob. Convoys are up to 20 kilometers long,<\/a> and are widespread. The protests appear to be spreading. There are rumors of protests gathering in support in France. Romania, Poland, and the UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre Gosselin, at NoTricksZone in Germany<\/a>, writes \u201cNever in postwar history has a ruling government been so unpopular<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The things the BBC\/ABC\/CBC\/NPR\/etc didn\u2019t tell you on the news tonight can be found in five minutes on Twitter.<\/a> Vive Free Speech. Thank you Elon. Those who control most of the Western media don\u2019t want the unwashed masses to know about these protests because they fear the protests will spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey feel like they are being ruled by people that hate them\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Eva Vlaardingerbroek<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em> comments that \u201cRadical environmentalists pioneered aggressive protest techniques, but they didn\u2019t have tractors.\u201d <\/em> Despite the inconvenience, nearly 70% of the German people support the farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One irony, which Britain\u2019s Just Stop Oil or Germany\u2019s Fridays for Future lefties will be too dim to note, is that if everyone who is negatively affected by the costs of net zero starts taking to the streets, the net-zero fantasy will end in a flash.  \u2014   Joseph C Sternberg, WSJ<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things are so dire the German \u201ctraffic light coalition\u201d\u00a0 government is thinking of using more coal. News has leaked that the German Economics Minister has shelved the old \u201cpower plant plan\u201d which depended on gas, and is secretly planning on increasing old coal fired \u201creserve\u201d power. Only in October the plan was to phase out the coal back up for next winter, but already it is clear this won\u2019t work. \u2013\u2013 Berliner Zeitung<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
