Definitely not the most optimal path. It's arguably the result of terrible deals from the previous government starting with Nord Stream pushed by Gerhard Schröder directly profiting from it. It is sad how to see how individual greed has an impact on millions of citizens. Unless this kind of corruption has actual consequences, it will happen again. The effect here has been accelerated with the war in Ukrain. Hopefully Germany can find better compromises because this was a terrible bet. Interesting also to compare how Belgium handled a similar situation, namely reverting the decision to step away from nuclear.
