... i mean yes this is a social-market thing they're doing, and in this instance tbh i think it sounds reasonable

idk socialism just sounds to me like taxpayers paying for people in need directly
it also sounds more like full gouvernment control, no involvment of profit-drive whatsoever

you know? there is still a market in there somewhere, it's just that the gouvernment is a big party in the market as well as the authority that determines the rules of the market

socialized for me is the opposite of privatized, and if energy was socialized, there would be absolutely no profit made from energy in this nation

but thats definitions
yes they are capping the profits and funding renewables

to my understanding you are saying that if the govmt hadn't intervened we would have less of a dependency on energy imports?
(the only major "failing" i see rn, apart from the slow progress to expand the grid and set up rneweables)
though tbh, it's worth keeping in mind that coal is unprofitable without govmnt support (i think)

you are kinda right that the german gouvmt kinda griefed our worldwide-lead in the wind turbine market, cus CDU-FDP decided Wind was to unregulated
