Germany hammers Trump over debate barbs about Berlin’s energy transition

“P.S. We also don’t eat cats and dogs,” Berlin’s foreign ministry taunts Republican presidential candidate.

Germany’s foreign ministry hit back Wednesday at former U.S. President Donald Trump after he criticized the country’s energy policy at the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump slammed Germany in his closing remarks, claiming Berlin regretted its decision to transition to renewable energy.

…

But the German foreign ministry took umbrage at that, blasting Trump in an unusually blunt statement on social media.

“Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables,” the ministry wrote. “And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”

This was a waste of electrons.

Their God-Emperor gave them the holy gospel that Germany is the promised land, of rolling coal F-450s asnd diesel-powered cell phones, you filthy heretics dare question the word of the Emperor?!

Please don’t refer to trump as the god-emperor. The 40k community has a hard enough rejecting idiots with no media literacy without people helping them associate the 40k world with their conservative delusions

God dammit, this is just depressing.

Pftt. Germany shout stfu about being green when they're closing nuclear plants, still taking Russian oil and bringing back retired coal plants.

... importing all the green energy from southern Sweden causing our electricity prices to skyrocket compared to the other three energy regions in Sweden.

We're not amused.

I’m not sure I follow? According to this chart the import from Sweden to Germany is almost negligible.

Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Poland all seem to be bigger net importers.

From the article:

“And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”

This isn't even true. In fact they're taking taking down wind farms to get more coal. This is just someone trying to get a dunk on Trump, like there aren't a million other actually true things they could say. Not to mention them resurrecting other coal plants when they're supposed to be phasing it out.

Read your own sources: they took down one 20 year old wind farm with eight turbines two years ago.

In 2022 there were about 30.000 turbines in germany.

It’s still a bit strange to keep digging for coal and it should stop asap. But your argument isn’t nearly as strong as you make it seem.

still taking Russian oil

That’s a lie

Also: Germany’s coal power production drops to lowest level in 60 years in 2023

Stop with that bullshit

Uh-uh. Yep. Germany isn't getting any Russian oil at all. No siree.

Scheiße, I knew it was dich plus it looks like dick. But I think his surname was definitely with a “d”. It looked very much like it rhymed with frump-y
