The Ambassador takes the industry position, falsifying and obfuscating in his brief. he states that nuclear has "virtually no carbon footprint," which is debatable, and ignores a few other aspects of its footprint.

He gets wind wrong on the FIT, and claims it's already destabilizing the grid, which is patently false. He claims solar is risky because German companies might be purchased by the Chinese, as has happened to one small start up in wind... there's no there there.

His main point is that Germany is writing off economically viable options like 125 reactor years, as if economics were the driving force behind the shutdown.

He's basically shilling for usian energy interests, which of course is his job. But by claiming that the German politicians are not playing fair with the voters, and then not even getting his facts right, he enters the propaganda zone.
