Germany's conservative-led government has launched a drive to rapidly build more gas-fired power plants, fuelling fears about climate policy backsliding and sparking unease even within its own ranks.

Plans to build more gas plants are not new, and the previous government also wanted to expand capacity, but the new targets are around double those of the past.

    I understand what you mean, but I dont think getting europe hocked only on oil and gas again is good idea, given what happened with russia and although we cant count only on renewable energy, because it cant work all-year round, we also shouldn’t abandon it completely

      We totally agree, I’m just saying that I dare to hope that the point of all this is to detach from the US rather than ally further with it.

        Yes, that is my hope as well—I hope we become truly independent militarily, digitally, and in terms of resources, so that we may finally become more than just a playground for other countries.
