“Trump repeatedly warned Germany and Merkel”
You are right. Trump mailed Merkel a white flag of surrender because of it.
Because Germany didn’t diversify its energy mix, its energy bills were artificially low. Now they have high prices.
Germany has 6th largest proven coal reserves. Ignore the climate nazis and burn coal.
Germany has been burning both hard coal and lignite since at least last December. They don’t like to talk about it but reality doesn’t care.
“Alliance 90/The Greens increased their representation by 5.9%, raising their percentage from 8.9% to 14.8%. That translated into 118 Bundestag seats, making the Greens the third parliamentary force, behind SPD (206 seats) and CDU/CSU (197 seats).”
While not controlling anything, the Greens have made themselves into King makers. Anything the German government wants to do almost certainly must be signed off on by the Greens. That means the climate Nazis, while not in control, certainly can control a lot. Want to buy some tanks? Better fund “sustainable” fuel for them. (That sort of thing.) So, forget about actually burning coal. The whole reason the Russians funded the Greens was to stymie any German energy independence. That’s the weak point of any representative government.
