People in Switzerland who violate the country’s new heating rules which forbid setting the temperature above 19°C (66.2F) in the colder months will face up to three years in prison.
Under the new rules, buildings that use gas heating systems are restricted to 19°C, while hot water can only be heated up to 60°C and radiant heaters are banned entirely.
It will also be forbidden to heat swimming polls and saunas.
Depending on the severity of the violation and the individual’s economic situation, fines will range from 30 to 3,000 Swiss francs ($30 to $3,050), while people could also be imprisoned for up to three years.
Utility companies and larger businesses would face even more severe penalties for breaking the energy rationing rules.
Despite the brazenly authoritarian restrictions, Economy Minister Guy Parmelin asserted, “We are not a police state,” although he acknowledged police would perform “spot checks” to try to catch violators.
Many would suggest this is just a taste of a dystopian ‘net zero’ future where people who defy climate change ‘energy lockdowns’ face arrest and prison time.
As we previously highlighted, numerous other European countries are introducing similar restrictions in the face of a worsening energy crisis following the shut down of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
In Spain, businesses that use air conditioning units to keep temperatures at anything below 27°C in summer or above 19°C in winter face onerous fines of up to €600,000 for “serious violations.”
As we highlighted yesterday, predicting that cost of living protests in the Czech Republic and Germany will spread around the continent, a prominent economist warned that European citizens are “mad with anger and it will worsen.”
French economist Charles Gave said many more people aren’t buying the narrative that Vladimir Putin is solely to blame for the crisis.
“For the last 15 years, our European leaders have gone into a climate craze, promoting magic mirrors and windmills as the solution. It does not work. These solutions demand the same capacity in gas power plants,” Gave said.
These new rules are entirely fake and artificial. While Switzerland does NOT have its own gas reserves and it was dependent on Russia, also restricting electricity and banning radiant heaters shows how fake this whole “crisis” is.
Switzerland has enough electricity to power not its itself but neighboring countries as well. Almost 100% of its electricity producing is “green”, and not the new bs green like solar panels and windmills but the good old-fashioned hydro electric dams and nuclear power plants. None of these power plants require Russian gas or any type of gas or burning in order to function and produce electricity. They produce electricity through turbine rotations just like a bike bottle dynamo functions.
There may be a gas crisis but not an “electricity crisis”. This entire “electricity crisis” is 100% FAKE!
Furthermore only 27% of electricity is used for civilians, the rest is used by other things like traffic, industry, services, the screw is getting tight on civilians and civilians ONLY! This is nothing else than simply governmental terrorism against its own citizens. This is a chart from 2019 describing Switzerland’s “energy”.
Here in the list you see “petroleum” as energy. Yes it is an energy as it fuels cars through burning. It is thus classified as an “energy”. Same with gas. HOWEVER, Switzerland never used petroleum or gas to produce electricity. Lumping these 2 together, electricity with gas and oil is retarded.
They are indeed “energy” but 2 separate classes of energy which fuel different things. OK! You’re out of gas and oil. OK! You can no longer drive a car and heat your house with a gas heating systems. But how does this affect electricity? Did the rivers run dry? No more uranium inside the reactors?
This is like saying I have a shit ton of peaches this year but I’m all out of apples. I won’t eat anymore apples this year because I don’t have any… and we will also not eat any peaches!
Like WHY??? Terrorist morons! That’s why! What else can you describe this if not as terrorism? Just because its the government doing it, doesn’t mean that’s not it. This is exactly what it is. A government terrorizing its citizens. Sending cops to knock on people’s doors and check their heating or else jail for 3 years. Let’s stop trying to paint this in pink and be nice about it. Dragging you to jail over consuming a resource that is available in abundance… electricity. A resource which doesn’t pollute and never runs out.
