[โ] Airfried@piefed.social 35 points 5 months ago (1 child) Nothing. He and his party are as fossil fuel pilled as it gets so he isn't going to do anything about energy which of course plays into Putin's hand. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Pip@feddit.org [S] -25 points 5 months ago* (3 children) Wrong. His gov has continued the energy transition, which is a nonpartisan issue in Germany.

Naturally, they should just declare the grid construction in the national interest and resort to legal planning via the Parliament. Perhaps this will happen now that slowing down renewable energy production and hydrogen production has become much more costly. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] geissi@feddit.org 15 points 5 months ago His gov has continued the energy transition By cutting subsidies for renewables, burdening home PV with increased costs, killing the law to phase out gas heating, lobbying to push back car emission standards? permalink fedilink source parent [โ] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 12 points 5 months ago (1 child) Did they do that by gutting the law that required new heatings to be carbon neutral? Or by planning new gas power stations? Or was it when Reiche decided to stop the funding for small private solar power along with the compensation for putting their excess into the grid? Or when they stopped plans for grid size batteries? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Pip@feddit.org [S] -8 points 5 months ago (1 child) The gas power stations are specified for transitioning to hydrogen in a decade.

It's the same gaslighting as with the "green stairs" for heating, where is all that biogas or hydrogen supposed to come from? Will it be delivered by the same fairy that will grant us copious amounts of e-fuels? Or could it be, that it is all lies by the fossil lobby to sell their shit for a couple more years? permalink fedilink source parent
