      They also angered oil-producing countries in the Middle East and sanctioned Chinese-made solar panels.Maybe they found a way to bypass the Law of conservation of energy

      Didn’t Shultz promise a speed up of transition to renewables after 2022, when sanctions began to hit?

        Such a transition is not being able to be sped up. Merkels gang sabotaged important noth-south electricity lines, nuked investments in wind energy and solar energy and did fuck all to further develop nuclear energy. The current government puts out hail maries, but the infrastructure to enable those flatout does not exist, because the previous governments did not invest in it. And sometimes actively sabotaged it.

        That shit can not be sped up, because there is nothing there.

          Sorry, autocorrect did me dirty.

          Could you elaborate on this, please? What’d they do?

            They deliberately hindered the development of that connection, the result is that the german coastal regions have a overcapacity of wind energy production (big off-shore wind farms up there) while the south has to import energy from neighbouring countries. Because the northern output can not reach the south. And Guess where much of the german industry is? Not at the coast, or even northern Bundesländer.

            I honestly don’t get why they did it, maybe some party members were invested in solar energy and wanted to keep prices high or something.
