What’s he gonna do abt it?
“Meaningfully oppose the war making Russian gas twice as expensive” would be a good start.
No, it is better to become energy independent, but that is harder and takes longer than a press statement.
Nothing. He and his party are as fossil fuel pilled as it gets so he isn’t going to do anything about energy which of course plays into Putin’s hand.
Wrong. His gov has continued the energy transition, which is a nonpartisan issue in Germany. They disagree about details, not about the direction.
This is a weird way of saying, they are trying to slow down the energy transition as much as possible while pretending to support it…
Yes, they slowed it down due to concerns about the grid. Naturally, they should just declare the grid construction in the national interest and resort to legal planning via the Parliament. Perhaps this will happen now that slowing down renewable energy production and hydrogen production has become much more costly.
Did they do that by gutting the law that required new heatings to be carbon neutral? Or by planning new gas power stations? Or was it when Reiche decided to stop the funding for small private solar power along with the compensation for putting their excess into the grid? Or when they stopped plans for grid size batteries?
The gas power stations are specified for transitioning to hydrogen in a decade. The revision of the law on heating was dumb populist pandering to boomers.
Good to know from the elected leader of the party that is the biggest (maybe second biggest) kiss ass to Russia.
What was it, elected with 95%? Putin would be proud.But I’m sure CDU would be happy to make Deutschland Ticket even more expensive so it’s not a real alternative to cars and we still need petrol imports
His party literally has posters on the street stating that “Europe must win. Ukraine must win.”
I don’t care what they say, I care what they do. Last time I checked EU was buying more petrol from Russia then help provided for Ukraine and a big part of the is Germany.
You are very mistaken.
The top buyers of Russian energy include:
Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m) Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m) France: 157 million euros ($184m) Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m) Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m)

Its Israel and USA that attacked Iran illegally caused the situation. But a chancellor who is involved in murder of 18000 children has no understanding of right and wrong.
Not everything is about Palestine. Please stop hijacking this thread.
