Totally BS what you talk. Es war Altmeier (CDU) der die Energiewende in die Scheiße gefahren hat. Now shut the fuck up.

German Green Party abhors nuclear energy; after Fukushima the government closed all the nukes and coal filled the gap “but renewables will be ready soon”.

Fukushima was such bullshit. It was never a good design in a reasonable place and they knew it when they built it. It’s like saying we shouldn’t wear shoes in snow because your neighbor wore Crocs in 3ft snow drifts while hiking and lost their feet.

No, your example is wrong.
It’s like saying nobody should go into the snow because it can’t be 100% ensured that all shoes are snowready.

Closer, but still wrong.
It’s like saying that wearing designer boots that are on a decade’s back order gradually fall apart as summer progresses is not how to keep your feet cool during endlessly worsening heat caused by the neighbors burning sneakers like the Springfield Tire Fire from The Simpsons.
(Compared to renewable energy, nuclear is more expensive, takes much longer to build, is more wasteful, and is becoming less and less effective and safe as a result of climate change warming the water sources the plants depend on)

True, and it still doesn’t include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.

3rd quarter of 2025 Germany had 64.1 % renewables and rising and imported only 8.2% more than it exported. Source: www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/…/PD25_436_43312.html
Also, it’s building giant battery storage: heise.de/…/Energiewende-Europas-groesser-Batterie…
Unfortunately the CDU is currently ruling and they’ll try to slow it down.

And “imports” do not happen, because there isn’t enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.
They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.

That was actually done during the CxU/FDP (Center right/Liberal) coalition period. Green party was not in power.
