Here are a few of the latest news flashes from Europe and Asia. In Germany, the world leader in green energy, electricity prices have now reached a level triple those paid in the United States. Imagine the anger here if middle-class Americans saw a tripling of their utility bills each month.

In Britain, to comply with renewable energy requirements, power stations are burning hundreds of millions of pounds of wood pellets (pellets imported from the U.S.). Environmental experts confirm that burning wood is much worse for the environment than burning natural gas or even coal.

Australia, another "green energy" leader, saw its electricity prices skyrocket this past winter. According to an analysis by the Institute for Energy Research, power costs surged unbelievably -- from $100 per megawatt hour to $10,000 per megawatt hour. This was because of heavy dependence on an unreliable renewable energy program. The government had to reopen one of its shuttered natural-gas plants to keep prices from further exploding.

Sweden announced a decade ago that it was all-in on green energy, and the government launched a wind-power program. Embarrassingly, Swedish politicians now have had to acknowledge the program has become so expensive and inefficient that the government will phase out the subsidies lavished on the industry.

All we ever hear from the left is look how great Europe and England's healthcare system is. Never seem to mention these energy statistics. Wonder why?

Newsflash! It isn't. The British National Health Service has waiting lists for the most basic of procedures, some of them stretch out years. People have been known to die waiting for routine operations. European countries are not much better, and some are worse. For a good example of where these socialized healthcare systems are headed, just take a look at how the Venezuelan system is 'holding up' (hint: It isn't).

Exactly. However; my point was liberals just parrot talking points and have completely ignored the actual results.
