Yes Germany, keep destroying wind farms for coal.

There seems to be consensus across the entire political spectrum to keep getting ripped off by Joe Biden for LNG transported at huge economic and environmental expense across the ocean by ship instead of the one way (edit: ok at one point there was another way that wasn't exactly carbon neutral, at one point Germany and Russia consented though but also there was someone they forgot to ask) of actually solving the problem.

The power of Failed States of America propaganda is staggering

Yes, basically. Germany completely folded on nuclear to appease pretend environmental groups that actually know nothing about the environment and then went all in on coal again while pretending they were going all in on renewables. But now that even the renewables numbers are flat-lining, they have to keep up the charade by continuing to make negative comments about nuclear.

They're helped along by idiots like Blake elsewhere in this comment section. Because, sure, new nuclear is expensive, but that's not the problem here. The problem was shutting down all the nuclear they already had.

You gotta give them a thumbs up for their long track record of sticking to their guns on bad policy.
