How many of those pensioners naively participated in Germany's anti-nuclear movement in the 70's, 80's, 90's?

You reap what you sow. No sympathy for Russian puppets.

It's kind of amazing that Germany can make the biggest effort of any western country to switch over to renewables and when they start suffering because America and Russia decided they want a proxy fight, Americans opine that Germany should be suffering because they decided to switch off a source of 4% of their power and didnt build enough port capacity for overpriced American LNG.

If this truly is the official American line then Id be pushing to have American military bases in Germany shut down.

Thanks, but I'm from Finland and like the rest of Europe we had enough of Germany's bullshit.

Renewables were never an alternative to gas. They can supplement it but not completely replace it. They are simply not stable enough. Maybe except for hydroelectricity. Meanwhile they did everything they could to prevent any development of new nuclear projects.
