Fucking Germany though with insistence on coal, Russian gas and no nuclear. I'm so suck of literally paying for their mistakes. I wish we could just disconnect

  It's because of stupid tribalism and hysterical non-thinking. When I was there 10 years ago it was really common to see the 'Atomkraft? - Nein Danke' stickers in public places. I guess when the position is held by a majority, that created an environment where people, especially policy makers, did not want to challenge it for they'll get excluded for wrong-think. It is only changing because an even stronger fear (Putin) took hold.

  Not sure which country's perspective you are taking but you may wish to consider that the largest part of the subsidies building renewables are EU subsidies which to the largest chunk are financed by Germany which makes a contribution to the EU budget far above any other. So if you look at Spanish solar or Danish wind (not to mention anything in the East where the % contributions of EU funding are very high), a good chunk of these are actually subsidised by the EU and thus to large degree by Germany.
