Solar is ahead of biomass and while solar and wind is growing, biomass is not. You're also misreading the graph. Nuclear was never such a huge part of Germany's energy production and killing nuclear was a 25 year long process, Germany let most of the plants run and just did not build new ones https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/paragraph_text_image/public/paragraphs/images/fig2-gross-power-production-germany-1990-2023.png?itok=cn90szXe

While I agree that getting rid of coal first would have been the better strategy, I don't get this nuclear power fetish and constant bashing of Germany on this while most countries are doing worse than Germany. Nuclear power is extremely expensive, we have as of now no storage solution for nuclear waste in Germany and Germany has no source of nuclear material itself. There are quite a few drawbacks

It's also not as if the pound is a particularly weak currency like the French Frank or the German Deutsche Mark was.

The Deutsche Mark was famously stable and the biggest official foreign exchange reserves after the dollar, it was much stronger than the pound sterling.

Different fractions, some of them are not aligned yet because they are new. However, for the biggest groups: 17 MEPs are the German AfD that was kicked out of the right-most group for being too Nazi, 11 MEPs are Fidesz (Orban) which is right-wing and the list goes on, so for the most part the position is mostly correct.

They kicked out the German Nazis because they celebrated the SS, which is a no-go for French Nazis. Doesn't make them less Nazi, just the French kind that doesn't like to be killed by German Nazis

I think they mainly lost votes because of BSW. Putin dick-riders can now choose, their scandals usually don't matter to their voters

Greens and SPD never had a majority in any poll at the time and they weren't even close to it. Greens might have been stronger but probably SPD weaker in turn. We might have ended up with Jamaika in the end. Don't forget that a conservative anti-Habeck campaign would've also been possible. He had some unpopular positions back then, too, like giving weapons to Ukraine. What kind of insane warmonger amirite?

It's only Nationalsozialismus if it's from the Nationalsozialismusregion, otherwise it's just sparkling fascism

Giving weapons to Ukraine was not popular back then, on the contrary. Habeck got a lot of shit for his statements, not only from his own party but all the other ones including conservatives.

I agree that he is much better rhetorically than Baerbock but I don't think he would have made Chancellor or even if he made Chancellor, green-red would not have made it, they would have needed the FDP anyway.

Yeah, it's short for National Socialism which was just a rebranding of Fascism in Germany to get Workers on board. So I guess Fascism is the better term to use in any case but seriously, it's just different flavours of the same shit so I think it's a mood point to differentiate. They all support the same ideology and policies

They were kicked out just before the election

CDU-Kreischef Andreas Nowak zufolge mache das die CDU nicht, um arabischsprachige Wähler zu finden. "Die gibt es nämlich de facto nicht." Wer hier wahlberechtigt ist, sei auch in der Lage, ein deutsches Wahlplakat zu lesen.
"Wir adressieren damit auch die Arabisch und Türkisch sprechenden Bewohner des Viertels und sagen klar, was wir erwarten."

Okay, die ganze Aktion ist also Rage-bait. Typischer CDU-Wahlkampf.

No, they are not. They are part of "The Greens/European Free Alliance" political group in the parliament alongside the European Green Party and some other smaller green and regionalistic parties.

Edit: however, the quote from the article speaks about the parliamentary group not the party, therefore this would imply that Volt is on board with this statement or Damian von Boeselager is, who is the only Volt MEP to date.

Er war auch stark an der Gründung von Airbus beteiligt. Man kann ihm viel vorwerfen (verdammt viel) aber so technologiefeindlich wie die Union heute war er wahrlich nicht.
