Greenpeace blocks a big LNG carrier ship in Sagunto while selling gas in Germany

The latest propaganda action boasted by the environmental organisation Greenpeace will serve... to raise the electricity bill even more.

Greenpeace announces in its social networks that it is using the "largest ship of the organisation" to block the arrival of a large ship with gas to our country [Spain].

Members of the allegedly environmentalist organisation have anchored their ship in front of the regasification plant that Enagás has in the port of Sagunto, Valencia. Preventing the arrival of what they themselves call "the gigantic ship Merchant" which carries 138,000 cubic metres of gas.

Greenpeace and the context

From Greenpeace's social accounts it is presumed that this attack "takes place in the context of the extraordinary European Council being held today in Luxembourg" in which "energy ministers are meeting to discuss the impact of rising energy prices and possible solutions".

In reality, the context in which Greenpeace is preventing the arrival of gas in Spain is one of skyrocketing consumption for its use in power generation, caused precisely by environmentalist pressures to discard fossil fuels such as coal and oil and expand the use of renewable energies - mainly solar and wind - whose unreliable supply has to be made up for by gas-fired combined cycle power plants.

The context in which Greenpeace is making the arrival of gas in our country more expensive is one in which this fuel is already at 90 euros per MW/hour ($105) on average so far this month, in other words, at an all-time high. And yet the vast majority of heating systems in residential buildings, many of which use gas, have not yet been turned on. In short: the context is that the alleged environmentalists are collaborating in making the electricity bill more expensive and even in the fact that some Spaniards will not be able to heat their homes this winter either because they cannot afford the cost or because there are supply problems.

The enormous hypocrisy of Greenpeace

However, the most striking aspect of the matter is that, while in Spain Greenpeace is trying to prevent the arrival of gas, one of its subsidiary companies in Germany is dedicated... to selling gas!

This was reported on Twitter by expert Manuel Fernández Ordóñez, who explained how since 1999 the pseudo-environmentalist organisation has founded companies to supply energy with "strict environmental requirements". One of these companies started in 2011 to supply a product called "porWindgas", which in theory is the result of producing hydrogen as a fuel using wind energy.

This environmentally friendly gas would be marketed mixed with biogas - i.e. gas produced from organic waste or natural products such as beetroot - and, above all, Russian natural gas, which is very similar to and just as polluting as the one they block at the Port of Sagunto.

The best thing is that for a decade this gas has been sold to consumers as ecological, when 99% of its composition was just natural gas. In January this year, however, they started to introduce biogas into the mix, but the mix is still not very green: only 1% 'wind' hydrogen, 10% biogas and 89% Russian gas.

In the light of these figures, one wonders whether Greenpeace is fighting for the planet when it blocks a ship loaded with gas from arriving in port... or illegally attacking its competitors.
