No, the best deal would have been to ramp up nukes and lay off the green ideology crackpipe. She doesn't get credit for choosing the path of least resistance and putting Germany on its current disastrous path.
Then chose Russian Gas to try and do a "2 birds 1 stone" kind of thing where if they had to get more energy, might as well try and do some geopolitics out of it...
Just two problems there; 1. Typical Greens, trading green firm power (nuclear) for another firm power.. just of course its not a green one, because the only green firm power IS nuclear! So now you've got fossil fuels .. congrats! 2. You're putting the country's energy in the hands of Putin... gee wonder how that will play out.
Its not that she caved into the greens to stay in power, closing the nuclear power plants and converting to gas.
Its that she did all that, AND chose Russian gas.
They had to build the pipelines, those take time... So doesn't building gas terminals also take time?
You're still failing to see the point... Buying like 30% of your energy from someone like Putin, it's a deal you know could end badly.
