Yeah. A series of fucktarted decisions caused Germany to fuck themselves:

• Germany turned off all their nuclear plants (why?!)
• Germany turned off all their coal plants (good)
• Germany vastly increased natural gas imports and tied themselves at the hip to Russia (they were publicly told this was a bad idea. Germany laughed it off)
• Germany ramped up solar/wind production (good)
• Germany did not invest in grid-scale storage to go with that solar/wind (Just going whole-hog on trusting Russia)
• Russia invaded Ukraine and held natural gas exports to Germany’s throat (boy, who would have guessed Russia would fuck over Germany?!)
• Germany had to emergency expand their LNG imports amid record-high prices and with hastily-built LNG terminals (LNG is also the most expensive way to import natural gas)
• Germany had to online coal plants due to shortages (boy, those nuclear plants would have been damn helpful!)
• Germany now has some of the highest priced electricity anywhere

They really, really, really should have kept those nuclear plants like France…
