Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
Germany and Poland are collaborating on massive offshore wind farm projects in the Baltic Sea to reduce energy dependence on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The Baltic Sea region is being positioned as Europe's next major energy hub, with Poland pushing forward despite hybrid attacks from Russia. Germany, having phased out nuclear power and cut off Russian fossil fuel imports, faces an increasingly precarious energy situation compounded by conflicts in the Middle East disrupting shipping routes.
