Germany screwed up. They closed nuclear power plants because of the disaster in Japan, coal fired power plants because of the climate, and now natural gas is scarce and very expensive. Their green plans don't meet demand, and short term that leads to very high prices.
Natural gas is now 10-15 times more expensive than it used to be. But recently, when I washed my hands after visiting as toilet at a gas station, the water was hot instead of cold. They're now limiting airco usage, but still waste energy elsewhere.
I have posted on this topic (nuclear energy) a lot of times. It is the cheapest and cleanest form of energy available. But for some unknown reason, the green party moonbats want to close down all the nuclear powerpants. I am glad that in my country we are actually trying to cut down on thermal power plants and at the same time trying to increase the share of nuclear energy. I believe that there is enough Uranium in this planet to keep the nuclear power plants running for another 1,000 years (230 years according to the NEA, but I believe that it is an underestimation).
