Germany is producing some solar energy. This is of course indisputable.
replyThey paid for that by selling most of their industry to China because energy costs became unbearable.
Was this the right tradeoff?
Without that solar / wind, Europe would be paying 100 million euros per day more for LNG. Electricity in Europe is expensive enough already, making it even more expensive by shunning the cheapest available form would be even harder on industry.
replyAnd if Germany did not phase out nuclear, EU would not have relied on russian LNG for so long.
replyBut we live in an imperfect world.
