Germany's progress on energy independence from Russia

 From a Twitter thread by Samuel Ramani


Germany's progress so far on energy divestment from Russia


Coal :Pre-war: 45%     Now: 8%

Oil: Pre-war: 35%      Now: 12%

Gas: Pre-war: 55%      Now: 35%

A note on the coal stat. The Guardian, citing Germany's Economy Ministry, used the 45% figure for pre-war. Germany's permanent representative to the EU citing Der Spiegel says 50% as the pre-war figure

Russia's war in Ukraine will lead to Germany ― and Europe ― moving must more aggressively towards renewables, EVs, and green hydrogen & methane.  It will now become a goal in the developed world to achieve energy independence.
