Germany also imports nuclear power from France, I believe?
Agressively chasing renewable energy supplies is smart and I don’t have any problems with that.
As far as the costs of chasing the CO2 boogeyman goes, I have no idea.
Some people say they are happy to pay more, some say it has very little cost added to our to our daily lives and the pollies keep talking about this or that tax to help us in the quest for reducing emissions.
I don’t know what to believe but I did notice that the yellow vest mobs in Europe were angry about the effects of climate tax policies as well as their immigration issues.

Weren't you the one arguing that investment in renewables was a waste of money and hadn't achieved anything ? Now you're saying " you have no idea " ?
Sounds like you've put your foot in your mouth there.
What does Germany importing power from France have to do with anything ?
The point is, Germany is getting 30% of it's power from renewables and that number
is increasing. To put it another way, it's 30% less power that is coming from more polluting sources.
