We already produce more than enough energy for ourselves.

My state is also producing more than enough for ourselves. Being just as flat as Denmark (and bordering it) we send you tons of that energy to pump into hydrostorage to then export again. It's practially all windpower.

As to imports: if you don't want to send us energy we'll have to stop sending you steel and chemical products. Also Germany is a net exporter of electricity, I don't like it either much of it is coal. Notable importer: France, with all their nuclear plants they have to shut down in the summer to not turn their rivers into bouillabaisse.
