What right wing news source is that? They paint a pretty one sided picture here. Some truths but not all. Germany was on its way to be energy independent with wind but that was blocked by Merkel and right leaning governments since 2010. Without that intervention we could be big in wind and having a lot of people work in that sector. Instead they turned back to gas and coal.

The dependence on cars and the incompetence to get excellent on software are a huge problem here in Germany. But the educated part of the people here saw that coming.

The will to change is what is dragging us down in Germany.

What left-wing ideology is that? If wind was so promising (providing cheap energy at scale 24/7) nobody would turn away from it. Maybe it was "blocked" because it wasn't working?
