Yeah, thanks USA. Who needs enemies with friends like this?
Not feeling sorry. They not only closed the nuclear power plants, but destroyed them, to prevent a come back
Edit: dear crybabies, downvoting doesn’t make it less real. Deal with it, polluters.
Anyone with a brain could see this coming a mile away. Their politicians lobbied hard for the EU to weaken the 2035 petrol engine ban to appease German carmakers, and they have failed to implement any meaningful policies to strengthen energy independence for decades, even recently scaling back on renewable mandates, all to the detriment of the entire continent.
And a totally and completely incompetent government, the worst this nation had for 30+ years, ruled by a gang of utter incompetence and absolute corruption.
This is a systemic problem. We in Europe are far too dependent on external sources of energy and raw materials in general. If we don’t have a particular raw material, we have to look for alternatives, resort to other options, and go into debt to achieve this because we’ll pay off that debt as quickly as possible. We need to finally wake up not just as Germans, because I am a Pole with German roots, but as the European Union and get to work!!!
We are on our own; things aren’t what they used to be let’s finally wake up. The U.S. has shown that it isn’t always stable; China is our competitor; we must focus on alliances with other countries like Canada, Australia, or others that want to create a third path with us outside of the U.S. and China, but if we only focus on regulations and do everything slowly, we’ll become a museum for old people.
Germany isn’t even halfway the most fossil dependent country in Europe. I don’t get all the hate and doomposts.
America is waging economic warfare against it’s former allies. It now supports Russia and Israel over everything.
I’m not interested in hearing more childish excuses from germany. Shut up and turn on the reactors.
I guess all the folks telling you to push on EVs had a point, eh Germany?
The conservatives are making every possible bad decision they can.
Currently they are doubling down on fossils and giving tax cuts that the oil giants are directly pocketing because prices ofc continued going up. No windfall tax in sight which alleviated the previous crisis, as this would anger their financiers.
The previous government also started a massive renewables rollout – which they are halting. Heat pump installation – which they are halting. Reduced rail ticketing – which they are not even considering, but would rather increase the prices.
They are doing everything to make things worse and now they are coming after people’s pensions while filling the pockets of their lobbies. An awful awful government.
even before, especially germany should not have relied on cheap russian energy.
As long as we are dependent to USA/Russia/Gulf for our energy, our economy will be at the mercy of theses malignant actors.
There is no easy, cheap or quick solution, everyone from the Prime Ministers to the last voter need to get onboard with the fact that we need energy transition to renewables *regardless of the temporary ups and downs it will bring to our pocket along the way.*
Self inflicted wound, they could lower the taxes on energy significantly but they just wont because juicy budget
Economy based on cheap inputs struggling as inputs keep rising
German economy will never ever rebound or recover without Russian gas or nuclear energy
But energy independence is pushed only during tough times… Tons of renewable sector companies are going bankrupt a second energy goes back to normal… We need a strict push to renewables no matter what.
Mistake #1 was to get rid off nuclear energy. But that’s the past and rebuilding nuclear power plants would be too expensive. But mistake #2 was and is to put the brakes on renewables, whereas we actually have to build solar and wind plants like hell. Unfortunately, we have a minister of economics, who I suspect by now is just plain evil and would rather put Germany on fossil fuels forever.
Our corrupt government works hard for this achievement
All money for the gas lobby overlords
Sadly no /s here, they are sooooooo deep in their pockets it’s sickening
Yeah, thank you Israel.
Thank you USA.
When everything is getting better someone must go full Nazi.
Who would have thought that this time it will be the biggest victims of previous century Nazis to become the biggest Nazis of this century 🤷
I mean, Germany actively chose to be dependent on gas geopolitics. They should have retained their nuclear power plants, European countries should have pumped more gas, and investing more in renewables.
Thanks CDU/FDP with merkel 2 how killd the germany green power program and killd over 100k good paying jobs. And now merz is doing everthing to make it wors!
Only reason german power prices are also not a lot higer is the ampel govmernt and they push against the russan shuting down gas.
What a garbage headline. We didn’t have any growth since 2018. no signs for any rebound
Maybe Germany closing its nuclear power plants wasn’t the best idea…
Well maybe if Germany stop stuffing the cock of carmakers, the us and russia in their mouth, it wouldn’t have been so bad
They are the one that absolutely love fossil fuel and now regret it
When everyone was bitching and moaning that what Germany was doing with its energy policy was suicidal, all the Germans would downvote you into oblivion because you dared challenge the superiority of Merkel.
Fast forward a decade plus later, and it has been an unmitigated disaster.
Draghi saw all of this coming years ago.
Thanks obama
And our corrupt economics minister wants to promote fossil fuels more and abondon renewable energy.
