The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And having this question unanswered, I think says a lot about how Europe operates.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

Now going to Germany.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

Germany did the first grave mistake of depending all its energy resources on Russia.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

The second big mistake was to destroy all its nuclear plants.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

They destroyed their nuclear plants.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

In this age, they destroyed it before building new ones.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And then they, now you're going to laugh at this one.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And then they found out about Duncan Flute.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

Duncan Flute is when there is no wind and no sun.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

When there's no wind and no sun, all your green energy, which is solar and wind, produce zero energy.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And suddenly they realized that wind, at least in Greece, I don't know in Germany what the numbers are, and Greece is a sunny country and a windy country.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

So in Greece, wind is 21% of the year.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

There's a utilization of 21% per year.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And for sun, solar is 18%, I think.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

So I imagine that for Germany is less than that.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

I don't know the numbers.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

So that's the second mistake.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

And the third mistake is,

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

They've decided not to put any tariffs on Chinese goods being imported into Europe.

The Loonie Hour
A New Cold War Is Reshaping the World- w/guest Michael Nicolteos

So you have China dumping all their products into Europe when Germany was the number one engine.
