While Petr Fiala’s cabinet is covering up an even more desperate consolidation package with desperate marketing and the self-congratulatory advertisements of energy companies regarding the partial discounting of energy before the coming winter resonate in the media, a time bomb is ticking away from the spotlight. The Green Deal will cease to be a theoretical trick “from somewhere in Brussels” within three years.
The news went more or less unnoticed some time ago. The company ČEPS – i.e. the exclusive operator of the transmission system in the Czech Republic – warned that in the next three years this country will be facing a fundamental lack of electricity. Why? The Green Deal, that wonderful mantra of the social engineers from the European Union, is to blame. The problem must be solved urgently. However, this seems to be impossible, on the one hand due to the complete subordination of Czech politicians regardless of party affiliation to Brussels, and on the other hand due to the current situation in the Czech Republic. The government is patching up the consolidation of finances like an old seamstress who has worn underwear for several years. In the morass of public finances, it is necessary to prepare the budget for next year. Precious everywhere you look. In the constellation of one current disaster next to another, Petr Fiala and his loyal followers do not dare to raise the banner and defend the light and warmth for the domestic citizens against the Brussels bureaucrats. They have neither the time nor the will.
Furniture burns well
It follows from expert analysis that the Czech Republic definitely cannot do without coal-fired power plants for the time being, which at the same time act like a red rag to the green maniacs in Brussels. What is certain is that the future is not conceivable without the further development of nuclear energy, however angry the green fanatics may be. However, the construction of a nuclear power plant normally takes at least 10 years – undoubtedly longer in the Czech Republic. This country is clearly treading water in an increasingly pressing energy insecurity.

A slightly schizophrenic situation awaits Prague’s cyclists during the midsummer. Many people are going to get involved in the next continuation of the popular project…
As is well known, the Czechs are great at improvising. When they get cold and turn off the electricity, they can flood with old furniture, for example. An excellent idea is to penetrate the new fuel with a highly flammable coating. Although it will smell a bit when it burns and you will inhale a little more of some fumes – but what’s the point, in the twenty-first century you can’t freeze in the dark in an unheated house. You can also read a newspaper by the fire, in which Petr Fiala praises himself for what a wonderful prime minister he is.
Finally, a reminder of a key date: According to green predictions, the European Union is to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. That’s in 26 years. Let’s remember that 26 years ago it was 1998, when the now famous opposition agreement was created. Not enough time has passed since then that we cannot remember this trade vividly. So in exactly the same time it should be beautifully clean and green in Europe.
The rest of the world will move on at its own pace. Of course, the cardinal question is whether Europe even has a real chance to achieve the aforementioned climate neutrality. One would almost like to state that no. However, one thing is true: this continent is old, but not for the old, as the Coen brothers would aptly say.
