https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/260705cc-96ad-41d3-847e-cafd3d3ade8e Germany chancellor Friedrich Merz admits: "It was a serious strategic mistake to exit nuclear energy. We are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world. I know of no other country that makes things so difficult and expensive as Germany." Germany's nuclear phase-out conducted as part of the energy transformation "Energiewende" was indeed founded on biased, unrealistic and excessively optimistic assumptions which turned to be incorrect immediately after the transformation started in 2011. Still in denial, German political elites pushed for nuclear phase-out, presenting Russian fossil gas as a "cheap, clean and abundant alternative", while trying to create obstacles for nuclear power in the whole Europe, clearly hoping to replace it with the Russian gas resold by Germany. Russia paid back for this effort in 2021 by unleashing the gas blackmail on Germany and then shutting down supplies entirely in 2022, causing massive energy prices crisis in Germany and Europe.

Nothing bad can ever possibly come from that!” I often feel as though Germany is still far too much influenced by Rudolf Steiner.
