When I think of cutting red tape, no unnecessary bullshit bureaucracy and fast acting government, I don't usually think of Germany. What happened?
The greens got to design some legislation
And the conservatives attack them on every front because of how much they stir up things - it's so sad how well that propaganda works...
As a German: me neither.
They got paranoid about nuclear and closed down all their nuclear plants. They intensified fossil fuel power production because they didn't have enough renewable power. Then prices went up due to the war end they had an oh shit moment.
This says otherwise. While coal (hard coal+lignite) use had been slightly elevated in 2022, it is already below the level of 2019 now. Natural gas use is mostly for household heating, which is usually non-electric in older houses in Germany, so there is some weather related fluctuation there. There are some gas powered electricity plants for emergency use, but they are only fired if there is no other way.

Well that's what I get for not checking my info!
Thanks for the correction.
