"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]
