"Rich countries have gone green energy mad"

Yes it will be the downfall of rich countries, so many high energy requirement industries are closing down, some are temporary but many are permanent.

Europe has been hit by an electricity price crisis caused by stupid politicians.
Solar and wind power have not worked out as expected.
Europe now has a major energy deficit and the world's most expensive energy, with low security of supply.
The energy crisis in Europe is the perfect example of what not to do. Around 20 years ago, Germany agreed on phasing out its nuclear plants. The closure of nuclear power plants has forced Germany to rely increasingly on fossil energy, including dirty brown coal. To avoid an energy shortage, Germany will have no choice but to build a large number of gas power plants by 2030.
According to some websites I've read it suggests that Germany needs to build at least 50 new gas plants and maybe as much as 140.
Belgium is in a league of its own its the only EU country to plan to increase the share of fossil fuels in its electricity mix. The Belgian government opposes nuclear power for ideological reasons. It plans to close all of the country’s nuclear reactors—which provide almost half of the electricity supply—by 2025.
To compensate for this closure, the government is counting on the opening of new gas-fired power stations and to increase its electricity imports.
All of this will cause a sharp increase in greenhouse gas emissions and a risk of supply shortages.
Most smelters will be bankrupt in the next 12 months.
This is a total stupidity.
The same may happen in Australia if each way Albo and the Labor/Greens win the next election.
Who is stupid enough to really believe that driving an EV will change the worlds climate?
