Yeah, the green policy sometimes resembles the theatre of absurd. It seems that cheap Russian energy was viewed as one of the main pillars in getting rid of 'dirty' energy sources in Europe. What could go wrong?My reply to ColonelAngus, was actually more on the ironic side.
It is usually never good for any country to depend on other countries. As I mentioned in another post, Putin instrumented gas-supplies as a political weapon already in 2008 in regards to Ukraine. Therefore Germany should have been aware of such a recurring eventuality. The Nord-stream project did not cause Germany's dependence onto Russia - but our governments wrong and naive decision to abandon nuclear energy as a primary source for energy or at least as a backup.
