The entire Energiewende for example.

Are you saying that they chose bad locations inside of Germany for wind and solar or that Germany doesn't have any viable locations and they shouldn't build wind and solar in Germany at all?

germany is producing tons of solar energy though?

can you be more specific and give 10 examples of german solar plants that produce ~0W electricity in a year?

they might be a lot more productive than you think

Germany is producing some solar energy. This is of course indisputable.

They paid for that by selling most of their industry to China because energy costs became unbearable.

Was this the right tradeoff?

		Without that solar / wind, Europe would be paying 100 million euros per day more for LNG. Electricity in Europe is expensive enough already, making it even more expensive by shunning the cheapest available form would be even harder on industry.
