Getting out of nuclear power. Getting out of coal power. Getting out of gas power. All before even the previous "getting out of..." was really done, understood and compensated. Blindly building renewables without regard for grid stability. Negative growth in necessary energy storage capacity. Negative growth in on-demand power. Decades of lag in building new transmission lines between the wind-rich, solar-poor, industry-poor north and the wind-poor, solar-rich, industry-rich south. All while having to vastly increase energy taxes (which make up roughly half of the energy bill in Germany now) to pay for all the getting-out-of and greening, while having to import liquefied gas and reactivate gas and coal power plants at massive costs.
