Okay, being reliant on Russia is bad news....but more than half our country is reliant on Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
The Germans...they're the Canary in the Coal Mine. Thats what happens when you make decisions based on optics and hesitance as opposed to doing what you know to be the more intelligent move.
They shut down coal usage which was good, but when people bitched about Nuclear they shut that down and thats why they're reliant on Russian gas.
Its strange to say....but they should be more like the French.
"You dont like Nuclear? We dont care what you like or dont like, we're going to do it anyways. And now partly just to piss you off."
