    Germany is still entirely dependent on Russian LNG, so not sure what you're talking about there. Also, seems like you conveniently forgot that Germany imports electricity from France where most electricity production is done using nuclear power

      Germany imported Electric from France during summer 2023, due to lower energy costs in neighboring countrys and high Co2 certificate prices.

      In total, Germany has been a net Exporter for Energy in 2023.

      And while Germany has been an importer from France in general, this switched in 2022 when France nuclear reactors had to be shut down due to a record warm summer, showing how nuclear is not fit to withhold the stresses of the climate crisis upon us.

      As too your other statement I'd like to ask for a source. I found nothing pointing towards this.

          While up to a dozen EU countries have received Russian LNG since February 2022, the key importers remain Belgium, Spain, and France, which together account for 88 percent of the EU’s Russian LNG imports during the last 10 months.

          Not a single link even mentions Germany...

              It like you are not able to provide a single source for that claim. I am happy to admit that it does (I honestly don't know), but at the moment youre source is "Trust me bro" and given the quality of your replies in this thread to me and others I, very politly, choose not to do so.

                  Germany stopped receiving pipeline gas from Russia in late August 2022. While there is no EU embargo on natural gas, the government said shortly after the start of the war that it intended to reduce the share from Russia significantly over the course of two years. However, Russia itself reduced supplies step-by-step and halted them completely in the summer of 2022, shortly before explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines – the only direct gas links between Germany and Russia

                  From your source. You are welcome to quote the part where it shows that Germany is getting LNG from Russia through other EU countries.

                  Edit: Also, look for numbers from 2023, not 2022. It's a little outdated, given the current events surrounding Russia. The charts still show Germany using Nuclear energy. Lol.

                    I see you don't understand the difference between intent and actual action. So far, Germany is happily receiving LNG from EU that's largely purchased from Russia. That's the real world we're living in. I love how Germans are doing an equivalent of money laundering by routing Russian LNG through third parties to convince their feeble minded public that Germany isn't actually dependent on Russian gas. 😂
