    And buy it from Azerbaijan or Venezuela instead? Woah great humanitarian move

      No, buy from Turkey, which gets Russian oil and rebadges it as Turkish.

    The German federal government pushing the EU towards sensible energy policy?? Am I dreaming?

    This made my day!

        Oh I’m aware of “the traffic light”, it just feels like it’s been a while since Germany pushed the EU forward instead of holding us back (arming Ukraine, regulation about combustion engines in future cars, etc)

          Habeck is a member of the Greens and the Greens are in fact rather sensible. They

          a) have supported arming Ukraine (along with FDP, while SPD has dithered), almost from the start

          b) are not at fault for the German Vote, rather that is the doing of FDP, silently supported by chancellor Scholz

      I guess (and hope) Scholz is not like Merkel, but German leadership is kind of hit or miss.
