Switzerland to Imprison People for 3 Years for Heating Rooms Over 66F
2022-09-09
[IndependentSentinal] Switzerland plans to imprison residents for up to three years if they heat rooms above 66 degrees (19C). The country also might fine people up to 3,000 Swiss Francs.
What's the temp in the prisons?
Well, sure, why not? These authoritarians think they can do anything they want.

In gas-heated buildings, water could not be heated to more than 140F (60C). Companies not abiding by the rule could face punishment.

They are under strict sanctions over the Ukraine war.

Radiant heaters would be banned, and saunas and swimming pools would have to be cold.

Speaking to Blick, Markus Sporndli, a spokesman for the Federal Department of Finance, explained that the rate for fines daily could start at 30 Swiss Francs (£26) and go up to a maximum fine up to 3,000 Swiss Francs (£2,667).

According to the EU Times, these new rules are entirely fake and artificial. While Switzerland does NOT have its own gas reserves and was dependent on Russia, restricting electricity and banning radiant heaters shows how fake this whole "crisis" is.

Switzerland has enough electricity to power not only itself but neighboring countries as well. Almost 100% of its electricity production is "green," not the new green like solar panels and windmills but the good old-fashioned hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. None of these power plants require Russian gas or any type of gas or burning to function and produce electricity. They produce electricity through turbine rotations just like a bike bottle dynamo functions.

#6  Switzerland is about to break their "Peaceful Status Streak", and they will need to use their "instant messaging system" to call out the civil guard.

It's a government racket -- they planned on selling the power at inflated prices this winter to Austria and Germany, yes? Greed camouflaged as Virtue...

#2  If their prisons are as nice as some of the others I have seen around that area , it might not be so bad. Better than freezing anyway.
