Germany's Energy Policy Spiral

>shuts off all nuclear power plants >shuts off coal power plants >doesn't invest in renewable energy anymore >builds gas power plants >builds nord stream 2 to immediately kill it >stops importing russian gas >???

A crying, distressed cartoon figure stands in front of the German flag beneath a list describing contradictory German energy-policy decisions: abandoning nuclear and coal, neglecting renewables, building gas plants, supporting Nord Stream 2, and then stopping Russian gas imports. The punchline is the absurd sequence of choices and the final confusion, making it useful as a sarcastic reaction to seemingly self-defeating political decisions.
