> Germany wants to safe the whole world by "going by example". So instead of thinking pratically and realisticly "we" try do to things ideologically.
This is so strange to me because my view has always been that Germany is this rational pro-engineering actor. Narcissistic and superior, but nevertheless logical and calculating.
The idea that a bunch of windmills are going to power all these factories? That all the gas is somehow greener? I mean we know how this discussion goes - the amount of energy needed for that level of industrial output is just too big for non-greenhouse gas emitting sources. How exactly do they respond to that?
