As further confirmation of the concerns raised in "Bearish Dragon," the political advocacy of German Greens is partially funded via German taxpayers through the Heinrich Böll Foundation (hbs.) Here's an anti-nuclear power example post: "Renewables replace nuclear and lower emissions simultaneously," Craig Morris, 20 Nov 2019, Energy Transition - The Global Energiewende blog. https://energytransition.org/2019/11/renewables-replace-nuclear-and-lower-emissions-simultaneously/
CGNP Comment 30 April 2024: The claims made by this website are absurd and counterfactual. Germany's Energiewende has been an ecological and economic disaster. As of 15 April 2023, Germany's emission-free nuclear power fleet was shut down. Germany, just like any modern society needs abundant, dispatchable electric power. Neither solar nor wind can provide dispatchable power and batteries are not a cost effective means to store the huge amount of electric power required. Since Russia has exercised its control over its natural gas pipelines as a tactic to attempt to prevail militarily in Ukraine, Germany has been forced to dramatically increase its reliance on heavily-polluting coal. See: HTTPS://UNHERD.COM/NEWSROOM/GERMANYS-GREENS-EMBRACE-COAL/ Coal-fired generation produces toxic air pollution and toxic water pollution from coal ash. Using the Electricity Maps application at https://app.electricitymaps.com/map, it shows that as of 5:00 AM GMT on 30 April 2024, France's electricity had 20 grams of carbon intensity per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated. Germany's electricity had about 362 grams of carbon intensity at the same time. Germany's example shows what not to do. A foundation of German government deception is being exposed.

Really superb article KT. Painful to read in many ways because our current administration has basically handed the keys over in a number of lame missteps.

Great one Gene, as you point out Putin has eaten Germany's Lunch so to speak.

Wow, Gene - thanks for that! The German Green-Russia alliance is a very deep rabbit hole that I hope to explore more in coming articles.

That's another article for another day. But you are correct.
Great piece
