It's a bit more likely. Eastern part of Germany was USSR back in the days. Germans share common fears with Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, ... for good reason. They've had this happen before.

A decentralised network with many different production sites for solar, wind, water etc is in many ways less vulnerable than a network with fewer very centralised production facilities.

The goal is moving away from coal and nuclear, clearly, it's just taking too long. EU will start importing massive amounts of hydrogen overseas the next few decades, possibly also funding the green pduction itself in southern countries.

The only real german stupidity was investing in and relying on nordstream 2, because that was after Russia pulled the crimea and donbas.
