1) Related to how the EEG is more a subsidy of energy-intense industry rather than regenerative energy, at the expense of the consumer.

2) "Die meisten Stromanbieter halten an ihren aktuellen Preisen fest, und 78 Versorger senken ihre Preise sogar im Schnitt um 2,2 Prozent. Zugleich aber heben 64 Versorger ihre Grundtarife im Schnitt um knapp drei Prozent an" --> Most utilities keep their prices fixed, 78 reduce prices by ~2.2%, 64 increase by ~3%.

3) More than France (nuclear), Spain (nuclear, wind), Sweden (nuclear, hydro) and Norway (hydro). It is unsurprising that countries heavily invested in nuclear and hydro produce less CO2.

Germany's energy policy is far from perfect, but probably one of the most future-proof in Europe (which costs money). France will have huge issues with decommissioning in the next decade; nuclear is not a silver bullet.

Germany's energy policy is fucked:

Inverse Robin Hood. Take from the poor, give to the rich.

"Germany's energy policy is far from perfect, but probably one of the most future-proof in Europe (which costs money)."

Really? Germany has one of the LEAST future proof energy politics. I would like to see a country that actually has more than a 2 years energy plan and would invest in something meaningful, like Thorium reactors.

Germany invested into Thorium in the second half of the last century. Turned out to be a bad investment.

Because it was not developed to the final stage?

Worst investment yet, was solar Energy.

PS: Fixed this for you. Sorry, did not know you are a bullshitter!

It started generating electricity on April 9, 1985, but did not receive permission from the atomic legal authorizing agency to feed electricity to the grid until November 16, 1985. It operated at full power in February 1987 and was shut down September 1, 1989.[1]
