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.show more

🇩🇪 "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)

Germany's Merz admits that it was a serious mistake to exit nuclear energy. Germany is now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the world, and he knew of no other country that makes things so difficult and expensive as Germany. Merz wants to fix that.

GERMANY: Why is the west hell bent on destroying itself? Over the last decade China has increased electricity production by 70% while production in Germany has declined by 10%. Germany has taken all of its nuclear power plants offline and must import the bulk of its energy. h/t Dave Brych

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?

🇩🇪🇮🇷 German Chancellor Merz: “We in Germany and in Europe are suffering considerably from the consequences [of this war]. This has direct effects on our energy supply and massive effects on our economic performance.” Perhaps Germany wouldn’t have an energy crisis on its hands had it not went from 17 nuclear reactors in 2011 to zero today.

Today in Germany, two 160-meter cooling towers at the former Gundremmingen nuclear power plant in Bavaria were blown up. Previously, it was the largest reactor complex in Germany. They blew up the Nord Streams, and now they will blow up nuclear energy too. A path to nowhere.

Germany has just erased another symbol of its industrial strength. The demolition of the Gundremmingen cooling towers marks not only the end of a nuclear facility but the continued dismantling of Germany’s economic backbone. What began under the red-green coalition two decades ago, and was later accelerated by Angela Merkel’s panic-driven phaseout, is now being completed under Friedrich Merz. The same politicians who once promised “sustainability” are now presiding over energy dependence, deindustrialization, and the collapse of what was once Europe’s most competitive economy. Nuclear power was not Germany’s problem. It was its greatest asset: clean, efficient, and far cheaper than imported gas or unstable renewables. Yet ideological blindness turned success into guilt. The country that once built the best reactors in the world now imports nuclear energy from France and coal-based electricity from Poland. The political class calls this progress while businesses shut down and energy-intensive industries relocate abroad. Under the Merz administration, the absurdity has reached its final stage. While AI data centers, chip fabs, and future manufacturing all demand enormous amounts of reliable power, Germany is blowing up the very plants that could have supplied it. Instead of securing affordable electricity for innovation, Berlin is subsidizing wind turbines that stand still half the year and gas plants that rely on foreign regimes. This is not strategy; it is surrender disguised as virtue. The destruction of Gundremmingen is not about energy policy. It is about the decline of rational governance. Germany’s leaders are sacrificing economic sovereignty for ideology, while pretending it is moral necessity. The result is predictable: higher costs, weaker industry, and growing dependence on those who still value energy realism. What fell today in Bavaria were not cooling towers, but the last remnants of Germany’s common sense.

Germany Bet on China. It Was a Historic Mistake and It is Now Paying a Heavy Price. Germany once believed China would become its largest customer. Instead, it helped create its biggest industrial competitor. In this video, I compare how the US, Japan, and Germany responded to China's rise over the past two decades and why Germany has suffered the most severe industrial consequences. We examine the decline of Germany's auto, chemical, and machinery sectors, and the strategic lessons every Western economy should learn from Germany's tragic experience.

Germany spent years forcing its economy through a subsidized green transition. Now Berlin needs the money back. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government plans to cut more than €30 billion from Germany's 'Climate and Transformation Fund.' Heat pump support will be restricted while electric vehicle funding will be slashed. The fund was supposed to finance Germany's transformation away from reliable, conventional energy. Instead, it will now subsidize electricity prices for households and energy-intensive industries struggling with the cost of that transformation. Germany closed its nuclear plants, expanded intermittent wind and solar, and drove up the cost of dependable power. Now, the country's climate fund is being raided to soften the economic damage.

I spoke with Rick Sanchez on German economic suicide: “Under Chancellor Merkel, the Germans cut off nuclear power plants. Then, the Nord Stream pipeline, connecting Russia to Germany, was cut off. As a result, Germany has the highest energy costs in Europe."

🚨🇩🇪 GERMANY SHUTS DOWN MOORBURG COAL PLANT AS ENERGY WOES DEEPEN Germany demolished its advanced Moorburg coal-fired power plant in Hamburg, costing €3 billion and generating 1,654 megawatts, further straining its energy grid. With nuclear plants offline and electricity production down 10% over a decade—while China’s soared 70%—Germany now imports most of its energy. Opponents strongly question their “self-destructive” green policies, arguing they weaken energy security and Risk economic stability. The move aligns with Germany’s climate goals, but soaring energy costs and reliance on imports have sparked debate over the nation’s industrial future. Source: @amuse

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

EU's Ursula von der Leyen states: “While in 1990, one third of Europe's electricity came from nuclear power, today it is only close to 15%. This reduction in the share of nuclear power was a choice. And in hindsight, it was a strategic mistake for Europe to turn its back on a reliable, economically affordable low-emission energy source.” Are you kidding me?! It was the globalist psychopaths like her, pushing Agenda 2030 that closed the nuclear stations! And she has the audacity to just say… oooops! It was a mistake.

The German FM puts forward two key policy reasons as to why Germany - for the first time - lost a bid for an elected seat on the UN Security Council. Germany's support for Ukraine and its support for Israel. Let's be clear: Germany's support for Ukraine had nothing to do with it. Portugal and Austria - who beat Germany - are no less supportive of Ukraine. It has EVERYTHING to do with Germany's support for Israel's genocide and the manner in which the German government has been willing to undermine international law and the UN Charter on behalf of Israel. Germany's blind support for Israeli crimes cost Germany its seat on the UNSC. As it should.
