Sobering polling from #Germany in Ukraine and Schröder.

First, "Will #Ukraine win the war?" 59% say no. That of course shapes their view of what to do.

Second, should #Schröder be expelled from the SPD?"

SPD voters (= Scholz' voting base) are split (chart left), as expected. But even the general population does not favour it as much as I would have thought.

It’s the chart on the *right* 🙄 Sorry.

Germany is currently producing 47% of its power from #solar.

Imagine how much that would be, had #Merkel's governments not, mostly for fiscal reasons, killed the solar roll-out after 2012?

(And the chart is in MW, not €. It is *a lot* cheaper now to build 10GW solar than it was a decade ago.)

Had Germany kep the pace of 8 GW per year since 2012, its solar capacity would be almost twice as large now (106 GW vs. the 58 GW today).

During sunny days like today, renewables would probably generate 100% of our power.

@ZDF

That Annalena #Baerbock has a 74% approval rating for her handling of the #Ukraine war (it’s a war, @ZDF, not a crisis) is remarkable, esp compared to #Scholz’ dismal 50%.

Germans’ support for “heavy weapons like tanks” deliveries to #Ukraine continues to be high, though I would have hoped this to be north of 60%. SPD scaremongering has a price.

Support for Ukraine’s #EU membership, however, is surprisingly high, at 62%. The German public, IIRC, was never a big fan of enlargement. Enlargement to Ukraine would be a big deal for the EU.
