I think most people understand Germany's position too, it is really, damned if you do, damned it you don't, with regards to history. :\
But, becoming overly dependant on Russian LNG and oil, that is something that almost everyone was going "whoopsie" about. And, tons of nations suggested that the Nord pipelines were a bad idea, when you have no backup if its all shut down, in case of wars. Germany decided to stop it's nuclear facilities, coal facilities, and decided it was a good idea to become a dependant on Russia, a former Soviet Union state, pretty much everyone in the energy sector was smacking their heads against the screens when this was going on, but due to the green parties, nobody listened.
Though, you can't say there weren't warnings, alerts, and discussions regarding this, everyone knew this was a horrible idea, but to appease the green parties all over, it all went through anyway. This is true in several EU nations, and imho, the green parties was the greatest victory that Putin has achieved in the EU. Though, those green parties, have been anything but, if you look at the aftermath.
