There is technology, proven, tested and old. It is nuclear energy. For some reason people prefer spending time and money on less reliable technologies like wind or solar, which require either flexible backup from traditional energy sources (what is expensive) or energy storage technology that we don't have.
All those attempts to fight climate change are so full of ideology and emotions that I am not surprised we still don't have any working solution.
If Germany spent on nuclear energy power plants all the money they've spent on wind and solar power plants they would be almost at zero level CO2 emission (except cars).
I can understand Germany, they are putting pressure on other countries, making their economies less competitive while they have a deal with Russia to buy huge amounts of gas (which, for some strange reason is considered to be "green").
This is good for German economy, but for sure will not help environment. Not a big surprise that Swiss people hasn't bought that bullshit.
