Germany: How to Fail An Energy Transition

Listen Later

Noah Rettberg returns for an update on the tragedy of German energy and energy policy. As politicians continue to mislead the public and force a nuclear phaseout amid a full-blown energy crisis, the country has become a lesson in what not to do when it comes to clean energy. We discuss:

  • The frantic posturing of Minister Robert Habeck, Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, as he attempts to navigate an energy crisis while justifying the closure of the country's last nuclear plants.
  • The technicalities of restarting a nuclear plant, or keeping it idling for later use.
  • Impending deindustrialization caused by high energy prices.
  • Eroding trust of government in Germany and the suffering of German people and businesses.
  • The absurdity of the Canada-Germany hydrogen agreement.
  • Why Germany's 100% renewable delusion is making energy dirtier and more expensive.
