And yet, they will not frack on their own land. Germany used to be smarter than this.

German power providers learned how to harvest American taxpayer subsidies to build industrial wind turbine complexes in the states

Germany suffers from a catastrophic strategic decision about every thirty years. They must like to suffer.

[Leaning Right]

Fortunately for Germany, they have a gentle friend who’s willing to provide them with energy, no strings attached.

[fruser1]

But, but, I thought the eco nazi power would REPLACE fossil fuel energy. Why would they need more? /s

[dynachrome]

Putin will have a stranglehold on their energy via the Nordstream2.

[Thunder90]

You know that Hunter must be making bank over this and the Nord Stream II pipeline.

Thinking that if Russians and Ukrainians get into a shooting war the Ukrainians might take out the Russian pipeline to Germany. Doing so, would cut off gas to Germany as well as cutting off a major revenue source to Russia. Actually, thinking that should be the first act taken by Ukrainians imo.

Throughout Germany, there were bright yellow cartoons of the sun, with the message about nuclear energy, “Nein danke.” Those green enthusiasts and their godfather, ex-chancellor Gerhard Schröder, and their now ex-chancellor-ette, Angela Merkel, worked to reduce German coal and German nuclear, in favor of Russian natural gas and imported nuclear-generated electricity from neighboring countries.

Prices for energy are rising very fast and Germany just can't figure out why....

This is what the color green looks like as it "matures."

In winter.

Hi.

Putin won’t have to send 20 armor divisions through the Fulda Gap, he will just turn off the gas.

Enjoy.

Geniessen Sie sich.....wann Sie zittern im Dunkel.

Hey Germany!

Which is why the average German household pays 3-4 times more for electricity than Americans do.

When your competition is busy committing suicide, do not interrupt them.

[dfwgator]

Time to take over the Ploesti Oil Fields.

[SkyDancer]

Shutting down their nuclear power? Well I hope they freeze in the dark.

[BeauBo]

But they sank billions into the North Sea, so windmills could power them…

Guess they will just have to go along with whatever Russia says from now on, if they don’t want Grandma to die from the cold.
