The German chancellor has said a US decision to temporarily allow the sale of sanctioned Russian oil is flawed. Friedrich Merz said the timing of the decision was incorrect and questioned Washington's motive.

    Its Israel and USA that attacked Iran illegally caused the situation. But a chancellor who is involved in murder of 18000 children has no understanding of right and wrong.

      Nothing. He and his party are as fossil fuel pilled as it gets so he isn’t going to do anything about energy which of course plays into Putin’s hand.

        Wrong. His gov has continued the energy transition, which is a nonpartisan issue in Germany. They disagree about details, not about the direction.

          This is a weird way of saying, they are trying to slow down the energy transition as much as possible while pretending to support it…

          Did they do that by gutting the law that required new heatings to be carbon neutral? Or by planning new gas power stations? Or was it when Reiche decided to stop the funding for small private solar power along with the compensation for putting their excess into the grid? Or when they stopped plans for grid size batteries?

            The gas power stations are specified for transitioning to hydrogen in a decade. The revision of the law on heating was dumb populist pandering to boomers.

              Hydrogen we don’t and will never have in an amount that would allow us to burn it for power. It’s the same gaslighting as with the “green stairs” for heating, where is all that biogas or hydrogen supposed to come from? Will it be delivered by the same fairy that will grant us copious amounts of e-fuels? Or could it be, that it is all lies by the fossil lobby to sell their shit for a couple more years?
