Can someone please explain to me, in an objective non political way what German leadership is actually doing in the last 3-4 years?
It seems like complete economic suicide to me, and they are just doubling down all the time. I can morally understand not using russian energy, but the consequences of this seem to have been completely ignored. Even worse, all nuclear has been shut down, doubling down on dependence on outside powers like the US, middle east, and france.
All this in the name of green energy, arriving at loads more coal production and political dependence. Plus now, every german older household is forced to change their heater, at a cost of 500bn-1tn euros over the next decade.
It's just worse and worse, the largest power in europe is basically destroying itself.
Why? Why??
