Certainly not Germany and Poland. Gas cucks. I just want affordable heat. Renewables are cheaper, why are policymakers resisting cheap energy, during an energy price crisis?
People living in the parts of Europe that were dictatorships until ~35 years ago (everything to the east of Germany, more or less) don’t like their region to be called “Eastern Europe”, even though that is what everyone called it for 50 years. There was Western Europe, and Eastern Europe. But since Eastern is connotated with dictatorships, Russian occupation, poverty and things like that they’ve invented a new term wich is “Central Europe”.
So now you’ll hear people from Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, etc refer to their parts of Europe as Central, because they don’t want to be called Eastern, and they especially absolutely do not want to be associated with Russia in any way. Which is completely understandable.
In other European countries that also expanded renewables at great speed – such as Germany, which increased its share of wind and solar in power generation from 28% to 45% in the last five years
Tldr: they are trying to sabotage existing transitions, like with fossil fuel boilers and the hydrogen/efuel bullshit, which is about 14x more expensive than electricity.
Perhaps it surprises you but a lot of people are such oil brained corpo shills they cannot fathom not burning the planet down to the ground. They call free energy ideologically driven in an obvious attempt at projection.
Which is to say that sadly a lot of people would never guess importing fossil fuels just to burn them might be a terrible idea actually.
Won‘t stop the tidal wave of heat pump installations though because most people actually like saving money.
Who would have guessed that importing overpriced fossil fuels is bad?
😮

The monkey’s paw just curled. You’ve been granted a heat-wave, free of charge
Money.
Lobbyism.
Yeah in Central Europe we don’t have corruption, we have ✨ Lobbyism ✨
Tell me you’re from Eastern Europe and hate Russia without telling me you’re from Eastern Europe and hate Russia
Huh?

Never heard that before

Didn’t Germany add shitload of renewable capacity recently?

45% of wind and solar is impressive.

Edit: The electrification of Germany is happening in spite of the shit gov, not because of.
Fucking Merz…
Na, this is Gas-Kathis doing.
The progress we made so far was because of the previous government and the current one is working hard on sabotaging that as much as possible.
Yes, but our current Minister of Economic Affairs is all out to kill it again.
Why would you offer a nuanced point of view if people just want to shit on the system?
Sorry, won’t happen again.
nothing beat maintaining the systems that keep those in power wealthy and powerful.
Heat pumps are much bigger investment upfront
