  • Germany’s reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, combined with the phasing out of nuclear power, has increased the country’s reliance on imports and caused severe price volatility, ultimately putting pressure on both industry and taxpayers

    This is false on multiple accounts, our massive reliance on Russian gas, Russias war in Ukraine and the subsequent boycott of their gas increased energy prices, not our renewables. They were the biggest factor that helped in these times because guess what, they are an independent source of energy, unlike imported gas.

    Also the nuclear phaseout also wasn’t a factor, as a conservative politician recently got corrected on a very similar topic. In fact, Germany sold more energy to France (massively dependent on nuclear) in 2022 than it bought.

    And wtf saying that phasing out nuclear puts pressure on taxpayers, nuclear is cheap in France exclusively because it gets heavily subsidized by French taxpayers, if wind or solar got similar subsidies energy consumption would probably be paid instead of cost something.















  • There are thing done, yes, but these are too little too late and only after massive protests and public outcries for any kind of legislation to somewhat mildly stop climate change (with tummy ache).

    So on one hand we have multi millionaires and billionaires actively destroying the planet, spend decades spreading lies about it and bribing politicians (but it’s called lobbying so it’s ok)

    On the other hand we have people in their teens and 20s who throw soup at glass and paint at rocks and sit on the street.

    Guess which one goes into preventive custody and gets officially declared a suspect of extremism by German intelligence and which one every now and then has to accommodate to some laws taking effect 10 years into the future, which will most likely be abolished before then.

    I just wish it was the other way around…
