Nothing new here. Has been the same post Chernobyl. Fukushima got the ball rolling for the removal of Nuclear Plants.

annalena baerbock is from greens, so that tweet from german foreign office is within the realm of reality for the greens.

yesterday when that event was happening along with jai shankar, she was initially talking to audience in terms of EU not germany. par for the course in EU politics i suppose.

Chernobyl was a man made disaster caused by the incompetence of Soviets. Fukushima can be attributed to natural disaster. But one can't fault the Germans for closing nuclear power plants. Their size of the country is 357, 592 sq.km. And the people are spread out far and wide to every corner of Germany. One accident can render many villages and towns as wastelands for thousands of years. They could have phased out Nuclear plants gradually over many decades instead of closing it all in a decade.

They got fully hooked on Russian natural gas and thought the nectar from Russia will always keep flowing without hindrance. With the amount of trade surpluses they were posting during that period, they could have expanded offshore wind massively. UK gets lot of it's renewable energy from Wind. And one thing I never understood, if it is really fucking EU why don't they act like one? For example, Spain and Portugal are the only countries who have massive Solar potential in EU. Germany could have invested lot of money in Spain to install many Gigawatts of Solar in Spain to transport electricity to Germany. Instead, Germans are investing massively in Namibia to make green hydrogen and transport it through ships. Namibia, a country half a world away and their former colony.

Spain is bigger than Germany at 506,000 sq.km with even less population at 50 million compared to Germany at 83 million. By investing in Spain they will not only get cheap electricity but they will also be helping a fellow EU member state which also has Euro as their currency.

Mate if the politicians here had even an ounce of forward thinking capabilities, then life would have been a dream. Instead its a clown show here.

And yet their GDP keeps on increasing due to inflation and exchange rate stability/appreciation. Reason why volume matters more than nominal/PPP GDP in many cases as it reflects the actual state of economy and prosperity.
