Germany no longer depends on Russian imports for its energy supply, the country's finance minister has told the BBC.
Christian Lindner said Germany had completely diversified its energy infrastructure since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year.
Following the invasion, Russia turned off the gas taps to Europe, leading to fears of blackouts this winter.
But Germany had found new sources of energy, Mr Lindner said.
"Yes, of course Germany is still dependent on energy imports, but today, not from Russian imports but from global markets," he said.
Germany previously imported around half of its gas from Russia.
At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Mr Lindner pointed to the speed with which a new liquified natural gas terminal had been built in Germany - in a record of around eight months, he said. More infrastructure investments were planned, he added.
"This is only [one] example of the enormous change in German policies," he said.
"We have understood that we have to foster our competitiveness after the era of Chancellor Merkel. That era was focused on, well, strengths of the past, and now we are developing strengths of the future," he said.
Green trade war
Mr Lindner struck an optimistic note, suggesting there was "some evidence" that inflation in Germany had reached its peak last year.
"Probably there's a faster recovery of the global economy and European economies than expected," he said.
However, potential for a damaging trade row between the EU and the US over green subsidies remains.
A new law introduced by President Biden last year takes action to tackle climate change. However, it includes some "made in America" rules. That means businesses from outside the US that are not eligible for that support are at a disadvantage.
Mr Lindner said he did not want to see the European Union start a trade war with the US over those rules.
'Must not happen'
Some European politicians have proposed responding with rival "buy European" incentives.
But Mr Lindner said he did not support that strategy.
"We have to avoid any kind of competition - who is able to pay more subsidies," he said. "It mustn't happen."
Mr Lindner's comments signal the challenges that lie ahead as Europe tries to develop a response to the Inflation Reduction Act.
The law, passed in August, steers about $370bn (£299bn) in investments to climate-friendly technologies, and includes tax credits for electric cars that are made in America.
It has come in for fierce criticism from French president Emmanuel Macron, who called it "super aggressive" and raised concerns with Mr Biden during a visit to Washington last month.
European Union officials this week promised "decisive" steps in response.
Mr Lindner said maintaining a level playing field was important, but he wanted to see the two sides negotiate exemptions for companies or develop a new trade deal, rather than try to out-subsidise each other.
"There is a threat for the level playing field and I take this seriously but... we are spending and investing much more than the US-side so we don't have to be afraid," he said.
"Some in the European context, they see the Inflation Reduction Act as the occasion to introduce policies they've proposed in the past, and I think it is an occasion to strengthen our competitiveness at the European level, make further progress on capital markets union, to negotiate with the US side a free trade agreement - but not pay more subsidies," he said.
Unlike the big French car companies, many German firms already have a big presence in the US, including manufacturing plants.
The "made in America" rules have prompted a pushback even from some American companies, many of which rely on parts manufactured in other countries.

Ibos have a delusional sense of importance. This election has clearly shown the fanatical and intolerant nature of an average ibo man.
Everyone hates the ibos out of envy they claim, why Ibos claim its because they cannot compete and so are less educationally and financially successful than them. When in truth they're mere economic migrants taking advantage of the generosity and livable conditions provided by their hosts.

How do they even calculate the total wealth of these people

Elon Musk has broken the world record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history.
From November 2021 to December 2022 he lost around $165bn, Guinness World Records said in a blog on its website.
The figures are based on data from publisher Forbes, but Guinness said other sources suggested Mr Musk's losses could have been higher.
It follows a fall in value of shares in Mr Musk's electric car firm Tesla after he bought Twitter last year.
His $44bn (£36bn) takeover of the social media company has sparked concerns among investors that Mr Musk is no longer giving Tesla enough attention.
Mr Musk's losses since November 2021 surpass the previous record of $58.6bn (£47bn), suffered by Japanese tech investor Masayoshi Son in 2000.
The estimated loss is based on the value of his shares, which could regain their value, meaning Mr Musk's wealth would increase again.
In December, the Tesla boss lost his position as richest person in the world to Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of French luxury goods company LVMH, which owns fashion label Louis Vuitton.
The value of Tesla shares dropped around 65% in 2022, in part because of Tesla's performance. The firm delivered just 1.3 million vehicles during the year, falling short of Wall Street expectations.
However, Mr Musk's takeover of Twitter - where he has sparked controversy by firing large numbers of staff and changing content moderation policies - is behind most of the share slump.
Many Tesla investors believe he should be focusing on the electric vehicle company as it faces falling demand amid recession fears, rising competition and Covid-linked production challenges.
"Long-term fundamentals [at Tesla] are extremely strong. Short-term market madness is unpredictable," Mr Musk tweeted after the stock markets closed for the year in December 2022.
Mr Musk is now worth about $178bn (£152bn), according to Forbes, while Bernard Arnault has an estimated value of $188bn (£155bn).

Protect for what reason

WTF! Where is my dear Nigeria? Wayo dey dis tin.

Less than a week into 2023, America reckoned with yet another school shooting.

This time, a six-year-old student allegedly shot his teacher with a handgun at a Virginia elementary school, in what police described as an "intentional" shooting.

The alleged perpetrator's young age has added a gut-punch twist to an already tragic scenario. The case has forced local leaders, police, and gun violence experts to confront a horrific question: What happens when a first grader shoots someone?

Four days later, the community of Newport News is still searching for the answer.

Legally, authorities are in uncharted territory. Virginia law prohibits charging a six-year-old child as an adult. The student could be charged in juvenile court, but the minimum age for a juvenile prison sentence is 11.

The child is currently at a medical facility, and police chief Steve Drew said authorities had consulted state child service and law enforcement agencies for guidance on the case.

Parents could be held responsible
It is possible the child's parents could face consequences.

In a Monday press conference, authorities confirmed the gun was legally purchased by his mother, and that the child took it from the family home. His mother drove him to Richneck Elementary School on Friday while the weapon hid in his backpack.
Authorities did not say on Monday whether the child's parents would face charges or clarify how they stored their gun. Mr Drew called the gun's security a "key element" of their investigation.
Virginia law makes it a misdemeanour crime to "recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any child under the age of fourteen."
While the statute is intended to protect a child from harm, not prevent children from using firearms for violence, authorities may try to apply it in this case, said Robert Leider, a law professor at George Mason University.
In another scenario, the state of Virginia "may argue that it was the parents' actions that directly led to the teacher's shooting, and that the child was too young to attribute any independent wrongdoing to him," Mr Leider said.
Few precedents for extremely young school shooters
While gun violence plays out at American schools multiple times each year, the shooters are almost never this young. Since 1970, 18 school shootings were perpetrated by children under 9, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database. Those cases represent a sliver of the more than 2,200 school shootings in the database.
David Riedman, the researcher behind the project, said that in the case of "a six-year-old child, the only way they're getting a gun is if they're taking it from a home."
One of the few historic precedents to the Newport News shooting also rocked the nation.
In February 2000, a six-year-old boy shot and killed his classmate at Michigan elementary school. Before shooting 6-year-old Kayla Rolland, the boy told her, "I don't like you," according to another child who witnessed the crime.
Prosecutors concluded that they could not charge the boy because he was too young to form the intent to kill, MLive reported. Rather, they indicted adult family members who lived with him, after concluding the boy had taken the gun, which was stolen, from his family residence. The boy was placed in the care of juvenile services.
One of the boy's family members ultimately pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter.
The case made national headlines and inspired former President Bill Clinton to push for a gun reform package known as "Kayla's Law."
"How many people have to get killed before we do something?" Mr Clinton asked members of Congress.
More than two decades later, America struggles to pass national gun safety legislation and hundreds of school shootings have occurred.
Sean Holihan, a state legislative director for the gun violence prevention group Giffords, said that Virginia already had gun laws on the books to prevent parents from leaving their weapons within reach of children.
Absent new legislation or nationwide gun restrictions, "A lot of this is about educating people and trying to make them more responsible gun owners," Mr Holihan said.
"If you live in a home with a child, for the love of god, lock your gun up."
