Everything in the green zone? Not at all! Germany is the runner-up in global exports, we are taking on the debts of neighboring countries in Europe, and the Chancellor is regarded as the most powerful woman in the world. However, the energy transition just doesn't seem to get going. The phase-out of nuclear power alone is not enough. Transitioning to renewable energies is complicated. Since Angela Merkel switched on the turbo for the energy transition and shut down the nuclear power plants, there has been sheer chaos regarding energy supply. The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) was supposed to be abolished, then it was not. Offshore wind farms are launched with much fanfare, then halted. Power grids are planned but not built. Suddenly, no one knows which way to go. Instead, lobbyists from various backgrounds dominate the discussion, pulling politicians in one direction and then another.
