Die steigenden Energiepreise durch den Ukraine-Krieg dürften vor allem der Grund für die Heizungskrise im letzten Jahr gewesen sein. In Milionen Haushalten war es nicht richtig wam.
Thanks Merkel for keeping us dependent on russian gas.
And thanks all the peoplethat voted against efforts to move to renewables, continue to block themand opposed a law that would transition us away from fossil heating.
Also the sale of Oil and Gas heating skyrocketed this year, because of panics that it might be banned soon to install new ones under the new law. The law specified something like 2027, but the German idiot never lets facts get in the way of his Angst and panic pushed by right wing media and politics.
The issue is that the progressive side warned that this will happen and it will get worse as the prices of fossils have to increase. But the conservative majority in Germany wants to get fucked, as long as they can continue fucking the planet, because that is what they always did and identify with.
This artificial panic is for once not about cars, it’s about heating. Too many germans think and or have been conditioned to think that the Greens and other environmentalists want them to just shut off their heating and freeze. The network of gas industry lobbyists is strong in germany and successfully installed a “clean-gas”-campaign in the former government and now convinces even a Green industrial minister to install new and very oversized LNG terminals, in part because of the Green-cold scare.
Peter Altmaier speaks in the Bundestag for the first time as Environment Minister. He sees the slump in the expansion of photovoltaics as a success. At the same time he is committed to the energy transition. The opposition is sceptical: Black/Yellow coalition government is making a mess of the energy transition. This cannot be “twittered away”.
Federal Environment Minister Peter Altmaier sees initial successes in the attempt to avoid additional costs by expanding renewable energies too quickly. In July, the construction of new solar plants had reached an output of 540 megawatts in July and 320 megawatts in August, said the CDU politician when discussing his ministry’s budget in the Bundestag. In June it was still around 1800 and at the almost 4400 megawatts in the first half of the year. The boom in the first half of the year was also triggered by the announcement of the cuts. The subsidy payments factored into the price of electricity had been cut before the summer break in order to contain costs somewhat. “This shows that our joint law is starting to take effect, working,” said Altmaier.
Altmaier defended his demand that that the expansion of renewable energies cannot continue unabated. For example, nobody could be interested in solar roofs and wind turbines without electricity grids. “A lot has been neglected in the past.”
FDP wants full stop
The generation of electricity from wind, biomass or solar energy is growing significantly faster than planned by the government. As a result, subsidies are also increasing, there are growing calls within the coalition to reorganise subsidies and and put the brakes on expansion. While the FDP and the Ministry of Economic Affairs want to push through new regulations before the federal election in the autumn of 2013, Altmaier has described this as unrealistic. However, Altmaier has also called a revision of the subsidisation necessary. “It is not only important that the energy transition succeeds, it also depends on how it succeeds,” he said.
“You can’t tweet that away”
SPD environmental politician Matthias Miersch criticised Altmaier’s comments, saying that he was doing the business of the opponents of the energy transition in the coalition. This would drive up electricity costs for SMEs and consumers, as the government had tripled the number of companies exempted from the costs of subsidising green electricity. This means that households and small businesses have to pay all the more, said Miersch. In addition, the prices for electricity on the exchanges had fallen due to the increase in green electricity. However, the large suppliers were not passing this on to consumers. Sven-Christian Kindler from the Greens criticised that Altmaier should stand up for renewable energies and put the brakes on their opponents in his own ranks. The FDP is even talking about a moratorium on expansion. “The energy turnaround with Black-Yellow means: this is the turnaround against renewable energies,” he said. He added that the black/yellow coalition was making a mess of the energy transition. “You, Minister Altmaier, can’t witter that away either,” said Kindler. The accusation led to a brief exchange of blows on Twitter. Altmaier wrote about and to Kindler: “I suspect he’s somehow jealous! ;-)” And Kindler replied: “Nope. Good Twitter performance is no substitute for bad environmental policy. You can’t tweet failure in the energy transition beautifully”.
In the Bundestag, Altmaier emphasised that the energy transition is a key project. “If we can show that we are economically successful with a new energy policy, this will be emulated in other countries.” Oil, gas and coal would then be increasingly replaced by renewable energies and climate protection would be advanced accordingly.
And thanks all the people that voted against efforts to move to renewables, continue to block them and opposed a law that would transition us away from fossil heating.
I believe those people are called “conservatives”.
Its true of course that this was merkels fault, but lets be honest, its not like the ampel-coalition would have done anything against it, were it not for the war in ukraine
That’s not true. The greens have always pushed for more renewables. The Ukraine war didn’t change that, if anything it forced the ampel to build LNG terminals and subsidize gas.

Let’s not forget the excellent work of Peter Altmaier in that regard:

If it were only the conservatives. The liberal party and the social democrats aren’t better in any way.
You seem to associate “conservative” with the Union only but SPD and FDP leaderships are also quite conservative in many regards.
And let’s thank the SPD for making us depend on russian gas in the first place.
Danke Merkel, danke für die schöne zeit…
