You're missing the point..
Its not that she caved into the greens to stay in power, closing the nuclear power plants and converting to gas.
Its that she did all that, AND chose Russian gas.

So doesn't building gas terminals also take time? You're still failing to see the point... Buying like 30% of your energy from someone like Putin, it's a deal you know could end badly.
