Germany over-invested in renewables and is now reaping what it has sown.

They're going to invest 30 billion euros in direct government _subsidies_ in adding 11GW of natural gas generation.

For comparison, this amount of money would buy 5GW of nuclear power generation. But nuclear power is basically free after the initial capital expenses, and natural gas generation will still require fuel (gas or maybe hydrogen).
