Is this in relation to the Greens saying Germany should have been even faster in adopting renewables and that early warnings about not being energy independent are now hurting Germany?

Well, renewables are one of the reasons Germany is where it is, because it is damn expensive and all those wind farms need to be completely replaced every 25 years so heck, they should be shutting up.

The solution is nuclear energy, advocated for by the AfD.

I learned that if you stay quiet, tyranny can take over. No longer.

Beautiful outfit!
