In Campaign to Save Energy, Germans Channel Their Love of Thrift

FRANKFURT, Germany—Psychologist Maria-Christina Nimmerfroh was doing her best to deliver an online lecture to business executives last month, but every few minutes an energy-saver switch in her empty classroom killed the lights.

Finally, she got tired of standing up to trigger the motion-detecting switch and lighted her face with her cellphone flashlight.

Turn the aircon and all the lights off in your office.

Rich people problems

So neat to see how the people of Germany spin a huge problem, into a national social challenge. The effort becomes a national “sport” that makes them proud as Germans. We can learn from it.

thinking that EU would benefit from increased nuclear to increase their energy independence and decouple EU from potential energy warfare smh that Germans + possibly others are reduced to such extreme measures, not even mentioning the horrific conditions in Ukraine atm

If this happened in China: China’s electric crisis

Yea,, let's go live back in caves why don't we..? The backwards,, humanity-last 'thinking' of these climate misanthropes needs to be challenged right up in their patchouli stinking faces.. You go live in the dark climate warriors..

In India this is common practice everywhere, please compliment us first

They're going to be burning furniture to keep warm by February, all for the unrealistic goals of the World Economic Forum.

Sure, but why? I'd rather institute better policies to ensure energy independence but, hey, you do you... 🤦‍♂️

Why would we want to?

I work at Walmart neighborhood Markets here in Georgia. I stock produce in morning before customers start to arrive. I make sure to Burp on all Vegetabls & Fruit while stocking the shelves. My boss doesn't have instagram or youtube so luckily he wil never find out HAHA

Energy savings? The true name is 'energy rationing'. It is caused by failures of socialist government and creates low availability/high prices. Germany's 'energy savings' is mostly desperation.

What happened to the Wall Street journal? I'm still grieving over what they did to The economist.

Plentiful energy is a hallmark of modern society. Living like a peasant is not

Why would i want to. Youre are embracing devolution.

With Putin committing mass murder pretty much on their doorstep this seems a small price to pay.

using out-houses and corn-cobs would be a good start

This is absurd and embarrassing.
