@SiteRelEnby@tech.lgbt Hey, I totally agree that Germany did really badly in this area, but are you certain about that “ripped out” and “replaced” part? From all I know, Germany merely stopped paying for building up clean energy capacities which essentially killed this industry branch. But whatever was there already stayed there (healthy increases again under the new government). And Germany isn’t actually expanding the capacity of its coal-fired power stations, though it could certainly retire them sooner.
