Germany still uses a lot of coal and gas and has high emissions as a consequence. It prefers to use oil rather than keeping nuclear plants open. Its reliance on Russia and then decision to cut it off without alternative is hurting hard. I believe these are all facts, not lies.

That all sounds rather disastrous to me.

This is not Germany-bashing, either. I live in the UK so I know what a really disastrous energy policy looks like.
