Hhhmm...that energy policy will make germany suffer for a little while, but they will probably supplement their policy once they see it doesnt work. They will go nuclear. I heard one country is able to reduce the waste.

very briefly on the background to energy policy: in Germany, almost all parties have submitted to the green dictates of Davos. in addition, there is the aversion to nuclear energy, which was completely abolished last year, and there is no willingness in politics to steer. the German industry is thus doubly pinched in the ass and it is a sinking ship

They can amend policies. Sometimes thing seem like a good idea, but arent. What kind of energy are they going to use if not nuclear?

Crisis usually pushes productivity. Maybe they are hoping that this will push hydrogen energy forward.

Its not like they are turning off their nuclear power, they are just limiting them, right? And not building new ones? Everyone just needs to monitor their energy needs.
