The Hidden Cost of “Free Markets” in Europe’s Energy Crisis - Author: Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo


I am pleased to share that my - Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo - article, The Hidden Cost of “Free Markets” in Europe’s Energy Crisis Inspired by  my book Climate Crisis Unmasked: Unraveling the web of Betrayal and Greed, has been published on LinkedIn. You can read it here: LinkedIn Article .

The article critiques the flawed European electricity market, where clean energy like wind and solar is priced according to the most expensive fossil fuel, driving electricity prices to sky-high levels for consumers. Traders exploit market volatility for profit, while politicians, backed by corporate interests, allow this inequity to persist. The piece offers solutions, including separating clean energy markets, limiting speculation, and demanding transparency from policymakers. This story underscores how greed and flawed policies undermine clean energy’s potential and calls for systemic change to protect both the planet and consumers.

This article is part of a series of reflections inspired by my - Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo - book, Climate Crisis Unmasked: Unraveling the Web of Betrayal and Greed, which can be ordered here:

How Europe Became the Land of Losers and Vassals - Author: Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo

Image
  Here’s the short pitch I (Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo) would have held at the Munich Security Conference 2025, if I were invited: Title: How Europe Became the Land of Losers and Vassals Europe used to be the world’s architect—building empires, pioneering revolutions, setting the rules. Today? It’s a museum, preserving past glories while the world moves on. What happened? (1) Technological Dependence: Europe imports its future. Silicon Valley owns the digital world, Asia makes the chips, and Europe… regulates. The continent that sparked the Industrial Revolution is now a spectator, watching American and Asian giants shape tomorrow. (2) Security Dependence: Europe can’t defend itself. It relies on U.S. military power like a child clinging to its parent. Talk of “strategic autonomy” is just that—talk. If tomorrow, the U.S. decided to take Greenland by force, what could Europe do? Nothing. As powerless as a puppet with cut strings. (3) Economic Decay & Demographic Time Bomb: An aging popul...

 As per this video ( https://youtu.be/Jo8Lo1-ebRE?si=Yu8BJqVQCHlV1yyc ), France's president suggests Africa has forgotten to thank France for its "good deeds." Allow me, with utmost humility, to rectify this oversight with a heartfelt letter of gratitude A Letter of Gratitude to Monsieur le Président Emmanuel Macron From Your Ever-Grateful African Siblings Cher Monsieur le Président, On behalf of the billions of ungrateful Africans across this vast, sunburnt continent, allow me to extend our sincerest apologies. We are ashamed. Truly ashamed. How could we, in our infinite folly, forget to thank La Grande Nation for its unparalleled acts of benevolence? Thank you, France, for gracing the shores of Africa with your glorious "civilizing mission," a noble endeavor that turned proud kingdoms into obedient vassals. Without your enlightened guidance, we might still be speaking our barbaric tongues, dancing to drums, and governing ourselves in ways far too complex for e...

The Valentine “Build, Baby, Build” – Insights from a Weekend with Visionaries - Author: Jude S. Ngu'Ewodo

Title: The Valentine “Build, Baby, Build” – Insights from a Weekend with Visionaries  In times when truths seem to be up for debate and facts are questioned, I spent my Valentine’s weekend seeking inspiration and intellectual stimulation. I, together with a friend, accepted two invitations from my alma mater, TUM – Technical University of Munich, for events featuring two influential leaders: Nick Clegg – Former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK, now at Meta John Kerry – Former U.S. Secretary of State, now leading global climate initiatives While the first event left me puzzled by Mr. Clegg’s defense of “the right to spread nonsense” as a policy choice, the second was truly inspiring. John Kerry spoke as a statesman should—boldly and with purpose—about the urgency of the climate crisis. 💡 Key Takeaways from Secretary John Kerry's Talk 1. The Urgency of Climate Action We are at a pivotal moment. The science is clear, and the need for large-scale action is urgent. Waitin...
