> Germany cannot procure gas from anywhere but Russia "In 2015, 35 percent of gas imports came from Russia, 34 percent from Norway and 29 percent from the Netherlands." https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-dependence-imported-fossil-fuels https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-dependen... The Netherlands imports are in rapid decline. So shares from Norway and Russia will be increasing. > In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, there were heavy protests in Germany that made the country shut down all its nuclear power plants permanently In 2000 Germany agreed to phase out nuclear power over ~20 years. A few months before the tsunami at Fukushima, Merkel's government extended these deadlines by ~10 years, but did not cancel phase-out. The public opinion due to the events at Fukushima caused the government to move things back to a similar timeline to the original phase out. However a number of plants were shut immediately. There's a good timeline here if you're curious to learn more: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/very-brief-timeline-germanys-energiewende https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/very-brief-timeli... Edit: The bit in the timeline where is says Merkel cancelled the phase out is misleading. Here's a better article if you want to understand what happened in 2010: "Merkel stated numbers for the planned extension of the lifespan of nuclear plants in Germany. "Technically, 10 to 15 years are reasonable," she said in an interview with public television station ARD. Instead of phasing out all nuclear plants by 2022 as established in current law, the plants would remain online at least until 2032 and possibly until 2037." http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/slowing-the-phase-out-merkel-wants-to-extend-nuclear-power-plant-lifespans-a-714580.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/slowing-the-phas...
