The chosen dependency on Russian gas has less to do with the Energiewende than with geopolitics. There has actually been a reduction in Russian gas supplies since the end of the Cold War. Germany is dependent on gas imports from Russia but less so than many other East European countries. Not to say that there aren't worrying signals, though. Russia has delivered far less gas to Germany this year, while depleting the gas stocked in their gas storage facilities in Germany.
