@thor this is what I don't understand as an American if you guys are incredibly big on clean energy in Europe why don't you already have a system that makes you guys energy independent with green energy instead of relying on Russian or foreign oil which in the end is excavated from those countries with far worth pollution than what would happen in Europe.

@Mr_NutterButter we have much green electricity, but it's uncommon here in germany to heat with it (because it was deemed too inefficient..). you'd have to fit millions of houses with new stuff instead of central heat powered by gas. nobody does that if gas is cheap enough. i think in other parts of europe like france using electricity for resistance heating is more common. the sane alternative are heat pumps, but you can't easily retrofit them.
fun fact: meanwhile the greens in germany want to kill heating with wood because of the soot.
