    The last point is just depressing. It’s now 12 years ago that we started the Energiewende… It could have been the perfect opportunity to get away from oil, gas, nuclear and coal, before anyone was really talking about it. But what has come of it? We still have ridiculous laws, hindering solar and wind. grid upgrades are blocked. Villages are bulldozed for coal. Energy companies got billions because of “lost revenue”. Super dependency on the east, which backfired immediately. The highest energy prices in the world for average people (!), also to subsidize our export industry. And the best thing: no one is blaming the government who mismanaged it. No. Everyone blames the people who wanted and want a greener environment.

    And for what? 19%?

    Hooray! It’s the day of the German Republic, or as we like to call it, “reichstag”!

        No, it’s a joke. “Reichstag” is the name of the building where the German parlement is seated. I always thought it sounded like the name of a national holiday, because the German word for day is tag. Similarly, the name of the German parlement is “bundestag”.
