Germany's decision to phase out nuclear power has led to soaring electricity prices, sparking frustration among European neighbors.

Sweden's Energy Minister, Ebba Busch, expressed anger, blaming Germany's nuclear exit for increasing reliance on fossil fuels and harming EU competitiveness.

Meanwhile, a prolonged period of calm weather, known as a "dark lull," has crippled renewable energy production in Germany, further driving up prices.

Neighboring countries like Norway and Sweden, which supply electricity to Germany, are also facing price hikes, straining their own resources.

Critics argue that Germany's energy strategy, focused solely on wind and solar, has isolated the country and left it vulnerable during energy crises.

As tensions rise, European solidarity on energy policy appears increasingly fragile.
