Germany's self-induced energy crisis has to be studied as a case study in how to destroy a leading industrial nation. After Germany phased out its nuclear power plants, it even blew up the cooling towers in an act of self-sabotage. And now, just as the world is facing its biggest energy security crisis in history, Germany has positioned itself in the worst possible position. Those 2 reactors once supplied Germany with: - ~4% of its electricity annually - Nuclear once accounted for almost 30% of Germany's electricity Today, Germany has among the highest electricity prices in the world and is facing rampant deindustrialization. Chancellor Merz acknowledged that the nuclear phaseout was a mistake but said there is nothing to do about it.

Germany Energy Minister Katherina Reiche: The phase-out of nuclear power was a huge mistake — a huge mistake. We now miss that energy. So, the only way to secure supply is gas.

Germany shut down its last nuclear power plants in 2023. That decision removed 4 GW of reliable, low-cost baseload electricity. The plants were operational, they were paid for. And worse still, there was no replacement capacity ready. Germany turned to intermittent wind and solar backed by gas, imports, and emergency coal restarts. The obvious consequences followed. Electricity prices surged, grid reliability weakened, and fossil fuel use actually increased. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has now admitted the shutdown was a strategic mistake, calling Germany's energy transition the most expensive in the world. A reckless bending to extreme green ideology traded reliability and prosperity for optics. Working nuclear plants were destroyed. And for what?

In 2018, the German UN diplomats laughed at President Trump as he warned that their energy policies were a disaster and dangerous. In 2026, German Chancellor Merz admits Trump was correct. Germany made many mistakes on energy policy, especially blowing up their nuclear power.

German Chancellor Merz: We are aware that we have to make progress in energy policy as a whole. Even independent of such external shocks, energy in Germany is still too expensive, and that’s why we are working very hard to bring energy prices down in Germany too. We need energy production capacities; this applies above all to electricity, but we also need new sources for gas and oil.

Germany's Chancellor Merz: We want to make Germany an affordable place to do business again. We have a problem with price competitiveness in Germany. Even if not everyone likes to hear it, Germany has become too expensive. In many areas, we are no longer competitive because we can no longer keep up on price with the regions of the world that compete with us.

German Chancellor Merz: "Those who call themselves the Alternative for Germany, ladies and gentlemen, have nothing better to offer." Merz is complaining that AfD wants to take Germany back to the days before the migrants invaded Germany. That is why he believes AfD cannot be allowed to govern, because they would deport the 3rd world migrants.

🚨🇩🇪 Meanwhile in Germany “This is how the transition to net zero in Germany is going after they started by destroying their nuclear power plants” “We just don’t have enough energy generation capacity” - Chancellor Merz This didn’t happen by accident, as Germany destroyed all their nuclear power and cold powered pits, now their economy is collapsing, people can’t afford energy, and manufacturing and industry are flying the country or going bankrupt. All by design.

Elon Musk warned them three years ago. Today the German government is finally admitting he was right Chancellor Friedrich Merz has officially labeled the decision to shut down Germany’s nuclear plants a 'huge mistake,' confessing that the move has crippled the economy and left the country with the most expensive energy transition in the world (What Elon warned 3 years ago:) I think it's very important that Germany not shut down its nuclear power stations? I think this is extremely crazy I want to be super clear. My opinion is Germany should not only not shut down the nuclear power plants, it should reopen the ones that shut down. Those are the fastest ones to restart. It's crazy to shut down nuclear power plants Especially if you're in a place where there are no natural disasters. If you're somewhere with severe earthquakes or tsunamis, it's more of a question mark But if there's not a massive natural disaster risk which Germany does not have then there's really no danger with the nuclear power plants

🚨Stop the WARMONGERING. Stop the ESCALATION. Stop the RUSSOPHOBIC HATRED SPEECH. Professor Jeffrey Sachs: Today I published in the Berliner Zeitung an open letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz Merz. Germany has the key responsibility right now for preventing a European-wide war. Germany incidentally promised the Soviet Union and Russia in 1990 that NATO would not enlarge. Germany cheated on its promise. Germany promised in February 21st 2014 that Yanukovych would stay in office. The next day he was overthrown in a violent coup and Germany did not bat an eyelash. It just supported the coup. In February 2015 Germany said that it would be the guarantor of a peace agreement that Chancellor Merkel and French President Hollande negotiated with the Ukrainians called the Minsk II agreement. Then they failed to push Ukraine to honor its side of the agreement. Germany has cheated a number of times to bring Europe to this situation. Germany is the largest country, the most powerful country of the European Union. It has historical responsibility. It made clear commitments that it did not fulfill. It's time, Chancellor Merz, you call your counterpart, President Putin, and negotiate. Stop the warmongering. Stop the escalation. Stop the Russophobic hatred speech. Talk to your counterpart. And I hope that they do that because this is the only real exit ramp from disaster.

🇩🇪 "Nuclear power plants are being built in 🇫🇷France, in 🇨🇳China, in the 🇺🇸US — everywhere around us. Only Germany blows them up. And that despite already having the highest energy prices. What is that, if not pure ideology, stupidity, or deliberate sabotage?" — German AfD Leader, Alice Weidel *Germany's current electricity prices remaining among the highest in Europe. Chancellor, Merz has labeled the total nuclear phase-out a "serious strategic mistake". He has already proposed a nuclear energy revival, which includes the restart of the last 3 reactors shut down in 2023 & investing in new-generation nuclear technology, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
