For the third time in a century, Germany is destroying Europe
The suicidal Energiewende (energy transition) that Berlin forced on the entire European continent is now threatening to shatter the EU itself. If Germany refuses to abandon its wind-and-solar fantasy at home and in Brussels, France, Poland, the Nordics, Benelux and Central Europe are ready to form a new energy alliance. One that puts cheap, abundant power first and could link arms with energy-dominant America.
BRUSSELS – While the globalist elite in Europe continue to worship at the altar of the “Green Transition,” a quiet rebellion is brewing that could finally rip the EU apart. A radical new proposal circulating in Brussels cuts through all the climate cult nonsense with brutal clarity. One single article declaring cheap, abundant energy the absolute top priority of the European Union – and automatically nullifying any existing EU regulation that gets in the way.
The text is short, savage, and long overdue: “European Regulation – Single Article. Cheap, abundant energy is now the #1 priority of the European Union. From this day forward, any existing European regulation that contradicts this imperative is hereby declared null and void.”
Translation for the Brussels bureaucrats: Stop destroying your own continent with ideology. The villain of the story is Germany’s infamous Energiewende – the green energy “transition” launched in 2011 that has become the textbook definition of economic self-immolation.
Berlin decreed: close perfectly safe nuclear plants, flood profitable coal mines, bet everything on unreliable wind and solar. Then ram the same madness down the throat of every EU member through the unelected European Commission.
Europe followed Berlin like lemmings
Result? Germany now has the most expensive electricity in the world. Contracts for German power were trading at up to five times the price of French nuclear power as recently as March 2026. German industry is being gutted. Hundreds of billions of euros have been burned on grid overhauls, subsidies, backup power plants, and energy imports. All while households and factories get crushed by prices four times higher than in the United States.
And Europe followed Berlin like lemmings. The continent blew tens of billions more on emergency gas imports in 2025 alone, making itself hostage to geopolitics while its industrial base crumbled. The very foundation of modern civilization – reliable, affordable energy – was sacrificed on the altar of intermittent “renewables” and German green virtue-signaling.
Meanwhile, France looks like the adult in the room. Its nuclear fleet delivers stable, dispatchable, competitive power. France exports electricity to its neighbors and keeps its industry alive. The contrast could not be starker.
Now the bill is coming due. If Germany refuses to abandon the Energiewende – both inside its own borders and at the EU level – the countries that still possess an “instinct for industrial survival” have no choice but to act.
France, Poland, the Nordic nations, Benelux, and several Central and Eastern European states share a vital national interest that overrides everything else: realistic energy policy based on physics, not fantasy.
Toward a privileged strategic partnership with the United States?
The writing is on the wall. A new European energy union could emerge – one founded on abundant, cheap, reliable power instead of German-imposed green dogma. And in a world where America under President Trump is once again embracing “Drill Baby Drill,” opening up domestic production and driving energy prices down, why wouldn’t the saner European nations seek a privileged strategic partnership with the United States?
Energy is not a “nice-to-have.” It is the prerequisite for industry, jobs, prosperity, and genuine sovereignty. An EU that continues to let Germany’s ideological fever dream dictate policy is an EU marching toward decadence and eventual breakup.
The proposed one-article regulation is not just a policy tweak. It is a declaration of economic survival. The Gateway Pundit has warned for years that the climate cult and globalist green agenda would destroy Western industry. Germany proved us right. Now even the Europeans are starting to wake up.
If Berlin won’t drop the Energiewende, the rest of Europe should drop the EU. And build something better with the energy superpower across the Atlantic.
Drill baby drill isn’t just an American slogan anymore. It’s the future Europe desperately needs – whether Berlin likes it or not.
