Germany Being Squeezed by EU Carbon Caps

The EU is cracking down on carbon emissions. Our friend Rod Adams has noticed that Germany will be feeling the pinch:

Because of its decision to shut down its nuclear plants, which currently provide almost 28% of the electrical power generated in the country, Germany will experience a larger impact from that decision than most of its competitor nations. The nation is squeezed by its reluctance to increase its dependence on Russian natural gas and by the fact that its wind capacity is nearing the point where expanding it much further may cause grid instabilities.

Some folks in Germany already understand the fix the country is in.
