I know very little about Germany’s energy politics.
I do have a Question.
Since they are building terminals to receive LNG, where is the LNG coming from?

Fortunately for Germany, they are a rich country and can afford the costs to build something like this quickly. Other countries that are not rich would have a hard time being able to correct a failed disruption in energy supply so quickly which leads to a discussion of energy policy. Not to mention that now the price of LNG will increase and make the poor countries pay more.
Many industries in Germany were strongly in favor of getting gas supplies from Russia, because of the lower prices getting it by pipeline. Can't fault them for that. That affected their political views on Russia, even though they are a NATO member.
