“The energy transition in Germany is working and the country is not eating cats and dogs.” This is what the German Foreign Ministry reported Annalena Baerbock in response to the words of the Republican candidate for president of the United States, Donald Trumpduring yesterday’s debate with her Democratic opponent, Kamala HarrisThe reference to the two popular four-legged friends was made by the tycoon, suspecting that Haitian immigrants had eaten their flesh.
More seriously, Trump argued that the Germans, after the failure of the green turn, would start building traditional power plants again. “Like it or not: The German energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables. And we are closing, not building, coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be phased out by 2038 at the latest.” This the sharp response from the German Foreign Ministry arrived through institutional channels. Obviously, we mere mortals are completely incapable of understanding which of the protagonists of the long-distance clash is right.
We only know for certain that Small, self-destructive Europe produces only 8% of global CO2 emissionswhile the big emerging giants, above all China and India, don’t give a damn about our insane energy protocols.
