The unprecedented sanctions imposed on Russia have seriously backfired and plunged Germany into a severe economic crisis.

      Of course, living in poverty is the best way to reduce emissions. But I dont think most Germans will be happy with that once they understand what it means.

          And do you know why Germany is so rich? Its because of a large industrial base, which is very competetive globally thanks to cheap Russian energy (and low wages). Renewables are nice but they can never power a steel plant or a petrochemical plant. And now Germany is actually using more dirty energy sources than before, like coal or fracking gas. Basically the current government is destroying all the wealth that was generated over decades.
