Years ago, Merkel made a partnership deal with the Green party in Germany so that she could stay in power.
The Green party demanded in exchange that Germany shut down all of its nuclear power plants.
They had to fire up a great deal of dirty coal plants to replace that energy at first. They hoped to replace that energy with wind and solar, which was totally delusional.
Now everyone is suffering for this old German history.
Germany has turbines for its natural gas pipelines from Russia. They sent these to Canada for regular maintenance. Canada refused to send them back because of the new sanctions on Russia. This cut their natural gas supply by more than 1/3rd. Ukraine refused to service gas facilities for pipelines that went through newly captured territory. This resulted in a big cut in gas supply to Europe. With many countries struggling to fill the gap at once, the price of natural gas is skyrocketing in Europe
“Germany has turbines for its natural gas pipelines from Russia.”
I don’t understand this. Turbines to move the gas in the pipelines, or wind turbines to (supposedly) replace the electricity that would be provided by the gas in the pipelines?
Stupid bastards quit Russian commodities because the US told them to.
And for no good reason.

Good!The Germans are only good at screwing others. For example, the strength of their economy was used to destabilize Spain Italy and others. Then they were pissing on Trump when he told them they needed to contribute more to NATO. What goes around comes around, now it’s their turn!
Stupid is as stupid does!
