Why not use the $1.25bn and reinvest it into a wind park in the North Sea? Feels a little backwards to give in to the bully and revert to fracking gas, and then put in another $18bn own money?!

Because the same brain rot makes the same kind of people go insane there, too, and then vote for corrupt “conservatives” that sabotage renewables for fossil fuels (read: for the juicy bribes the fossil industry pays).
Germany is just working on new legislation to prevent renewables where the grid isn’t build up to handle it while also providing zero reasons for grid providers to build up the grid. Then they complete the package with no guaranteed feed-in compensation anymore.
Which obvious leads to a “sure you can build renewables, but a third party benefitting from fossil fuels has total control over your ability to sell your product”-situation were exactly noone will ever invest in renewables anymore. (PS: storage was also blocked by insane double taxation for years before a different government fixed that, and so instead the CEO of the record-holder in burying applications for connecting storage to the grid in red-tape -literal years for a process that should take a few days- was awarded with a job as Minister of Economy and Energy…)
They are doing exactly the same bullshit, they are just not as obnoxiously loud and boastful with their insanity as the orange moron is.
the guys you have that are stopping this suck at stopping it
The advantadge of a more fragmented continent. Just because Germany’s government has subscribed to the fossil fuel insanity (not surprisingly given their connections to MAGA, Heritage Foundation etc…) doesn’t mean that Denmark or the Netherlands don’t build some in the same coastal regions.
Enter the interconnected grid between countries and now the cheap electricity Germany doesn’t want to build is sold to them at a surplus. Then they cry about their higher costs, lie that it’s caused by renewables and double down on building expensive power generation instead.
See: in the end they pay money so they can pay more money for their electricity. Exactly like the morons in the US do. Conservativism is a cult that brain-washes people into voting against their own interests so the handful of people actually paying our politicians can get even richer.
I mean it’s not exactly the same bullshit in the extent of it.
Sad thing is: We used to be on the right track. Not nearly fast enough, but at least we were headed the right direction. As of today, my energy meter shows each sunny summer day, we have like 120% of Germany’s energy demand met by renewables. We now need a bit more of it, plus storage, plus the grid to make it work during the morning, evening, night and winter. But then we got an incompetent government, politicians said we now have other things to do and becoming more right-wing is more important than continue to fix the energy situation… Also doesn’t help how we now spend a lot of taxpayer money on war machinery instead of useful stuff. It’s a shame.

Yeah man, that’s the point. It’s backward as fuck. It’s absolutely, mind-numbingly idiotic.

I took a boat ride between wind parks in the north sea
pretty huge
the guys you have that are stopping this suck at stopping it because the wind farm are there anyway

Germany is 3rd in the world for wind in the sea
you’re in some kind of hole
