How does the coalition's approach to energy policy affect Germany's dependence on fossil fuels and its ability to meet climate targets?

This coalition's climate policy contradictions—building new gas plants while aiming for climate neutrality—increase Germany's dependence on fossil fuel imports, particularly from the US. This weakens the EU's stance against Trump's demands for expensive American gas and empowers the AfD, which opposes climate action. The lack of a 'Klimageld' (climate money) scheme further reduces public support for climate policies.
