In remarks tied to the UN week, Trump repeated the argument that Europe—and specifically Germany—turned back to traditional fuels after pursuing renewables, casting it as proof that rapid green transitions don’t work.
If he was right on anything but the political spectrum, I would. I’m not sure what he is refering to, but while the current government is kinda pro nuclear, so far they have only announced more reliance on natural gas than previously planned, after the CDU had already criticized the planned capacity. This is meant as an equally reliable and more environmentally friendly replacement for coal, and it’s planned to eventually transition the gas grid to (hopefully green) Hydrogen. It is in no way reversing course on the green deal.
Disclaimer: I’m not a huge a fan of this plan, but it’s much more reasonable than Trump makes it sound.
