It's plain to see that Germany's policy has been a disaster (not only Germany, the UK is a massive shambles). The Netherlands are still using fossil fuels for about 40-50% of their electricity. Etc. France, for instance, has had problems recently but at least they made the decision to replace fossil fuels for electricity decades ago by going all in on nuclear (and hydro wherever dams were possible). So these are choices. More generally, the so-called 'energy crisis' in Europe at the moment is self-inflicted. Because of the above, because a ban on fracking (gas is still used but then it has to be imported), because no Russian gas when there is no alternative in place.
