"Apart from a complacent reliance on Russian gas throughout its period of fast growth, Germany’s energy policy faces a detrimental resistance to nuclear energy, a sluggish transition to green energy, and an incredibly slow bureaucracy, all contributing to the nation’s energy crisis." [1]

- master-lincoln 2y agoAh ok, an opinion piece from last year makes you think that.
- martin_a 2y agoI will call bullshit over and over again. Especially companies rested on a relaxed foundation of artifically low energy prices due to lobbyism and dependence on cheap Russian gas. Both is gone and companies face "true" prices and have to deal with them. Nevertheless, energy generation from renewables is rising and rising, more and more renewable capacity is added to the grid each week and laws have been loosened to enable a faster transition.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoI won't get into what might be considered "artificially low prices" and "true prices", but isn't what you describe an energy crisis, then? I picked an illustrative article that explains things. Germany has been hit by an energy crisis as a matter of concensus and fact, not opinion. You can easily research the topic if you are actually curious and interested.
- sharpshadow 2y agoThe dependence on Russian gas is still prevalent in Germany but it now comes through transit. Consider that there are many machines that use it, which can’t be replaced immediately.
