They claimed to be really serious, but the conservative government of the last 16 years put in roadblock after roadblock, for example:

* wind energy deployment decreased massively in the last 3-4 years due to bureaucracy.

* Solar was always complicated, if you had it on the roof of your own house you would need to register a small business regardless and declare extra taxes every 3 month.

It brought them to a place which is less dependent on Russia than they otherwise would have been? And had they been yet more serious about renewables, they would have been even less dependent on Russia.

If you want to criticise them, criticise them for not going with nuclear, not for trying to build out alternatives to gas. That makes no sense.
