Germany's conservative-led government has launched a drive to rapidly build more gas-fired power plants, fuelling fears about climate policy backsliding and sparking unease even within its own ranks.

Plans to build more gas plants are not new, and the previous government also wanted to expand capacity, but the new targets are around double those of the past.

    A lot of western countries are following usa lead, when they started denouncing their environment policy and started to increase their gas production/consumption other western countries just blindly followed (pro-usa idiots really don’t like facing facts)

      We’ve got a new, conservative government in Germany since the beginning of 2025, replacing a (more or less) progressive one. The green party is no longer part of the government. We can elect stupid politicians all by ourselves, we don’t need the USA for that.

      The comment and the data on the linked sites say that gas demand has spurred by China, Russia, and the USA.

      Did China and Russia also follow the US lead? Or did they increase their gas consumption independently?
