Environmental groups urge Germany to cut oil and gas dependence
Environmental groups have called for a faster move away from oil and gas, arguing that the Iran war and its consequences have exposed Germany's continued dependence on imported fossil fuels. In a joint paper seen by dpa, the organizations said Germany's reliance on fossil fuel imports was fuelling inflation and economic uncertainty, much as it did during the 2022 energy crisis that followed the start of Russia's war against Ukraine.
