Surely taking a hostile side in most global conflicts right now is going to be good for Germany when the countries they offshored their production capacity to decline to trade with them

So this is how the green party is fighting climate change I guess...
I wonder how much this has to do with price. There's certainly a correlation to the increase in electricity prices over the last ten years.
I imagine the past 2 years where Germany has been cut off from cheap Russian energy are the most important.
The one-two punch of cutting ourselves off from cheap Russian fossil fuels and shutting down all nuclear generation in the same time period has made a huge difference, something like a 30% increase in just two years. It would have been closer to a 50% increase if a the renewable energy surcharge had not been phased out and if the federal government hadn't temporarily limited the end-user electric price.
