When Trump makes you look like an idiot you know you've screwed up.

Then Germany shutting their nuclear power down in order to focus on wind and solar, which has to be one of the dumbest mistakes made in the last century, which dramatically hurt places like Africa from which they stole their supply of coal. Meanwhile spain is having black outs due to their renewable usage, due to not having the massive energy storage required for 100% uptime.

Idk why you're being downvoted. I mean I don't like the Trump short so idk if it's factually credible or not but it is true that they opened themselves up to be dependent on fossil fuels and I think russian gas.

Stupid boneheaded decision to shut down nuclear as well.

That's not at all what's happening.

Spain said they didn't have the storage capacity with renewables. Germany did shut down nuclear plants and did open coal plants to supplant its energy supply.
