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.

Most of Canada's electricity is produced in country. We do import oil & perhaps even gas for other needs, but despite the morons running our country we still manage our own energy for the most part.
In comparison, Germany has completely shuttered their energy development, and is very dependent on Russia right now. I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with why Russia is being so aggressive right now, right?
Russia has leverage over Europe right now, and they are using it.
Its almost as if those idiots running the German government are being paid by Russia to shut down their nuclear programs.
France on the other hand is being a lot more aggressive against Russia. I wonder why that is. Might have something to do with the fact that France gets 80% of their electricity from in country nuclear sources.
