Two events at the beginning of the new year show how the EU “Green Transition” has dramatically neglected the key aspect of energy policy: the security of supply. On Jan. 3, the sabotage of a high-tension line by the ecoterrorist “Vulkangruppe” caused a total blackout for 45,000 households and 2,200 businesses in South Berlin, for four days.

On May 1, 2003, then-President George W. Bush declared “Mission Accomplished” in the U.S.-NATO invasion of Iraq, less than two months after the invasion had been launched.
