  • No, it is better to become energy independent, but that is harder and takes longer than a press statement.

  • The gas power stations are specified for transitioning to hydrogen in a decade. The revision of the law on heating was dumb populist pandering to boomers.

  • Yes, they slowed it down due to concerns about the grid. Naturally, they should just declare the grid construction in the national interest and resort to legal planning via the Parliament. Perhaps this will happen now that slowing down renewable energy production and hydrogen production has become much more costly.

  • Wrong. His gov has continued the energy transition, which is a nonpartisan issue in Germany. They disagree about details, not about the direction.

  • His party literally has posters on the street stating that "Europe must win. Ukraine must win."

  • This is crazy!!

  • I agree with you except for the timeline. To my knowledge, Germany's firms and governments were export oriented since WWII. The current permanent reduction in demand from abroad (due to Chinese and American policy amongst others) is wholly novel and never happened before to Germany, from what I understand. One good thing is that the policies you mention have already been launched a few years ago, so the federal and state governments are adapting fast.

  • Oh okay, got it! Which kinds of policies aim to diversify a country's demand structure? Like, how would that work?

  • Germany has one of the most diversified economies in the world, see Atlas of Economic Complexity.

    Since the second Trump administration, its federal and state governments have been pushing firms to move towards producing higher value added services ("deep tech") and diversify into other areas than automotive.

  • I am quite surprised since the telegraph was always very anti-German/germanophobic. I still remember some bizarre headlines about Russia's war against Ukraine and Germany siding with Russia...

  • I support that. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime may capture him as ransom.

  • Good that he shows solidarity with the people of Israel in this time of war, visiting the bombed neighborhood. But also good that the German gov criticizes the Israeli gov's lack of a plan to end the war it started.

  • Disgraceful.

    Sikorski slams Nawrocki’s ‘sham’ plan to rival EU defense scheme

  • If the EU is not a superpower, then it does not have the influence on the world to maintain a rules based world order (international law, mutlulayeralism) against the USA, China, Russia, India, ... This is wishful and illogical thinking

  • The article is such obvious nonsense. Its central argument is that vocal protests will give Europe a weight in the world (Spain). Keeping a low profile while building Europe's strongest armed forces and energy independence will detract from Europe's weight in the world (Germany). Who honestly believes this?

  • No wonder given the world economy. Germany will just have to continue its restructuring, transformation and investment plans. It's one of the best positioned economies for this transition, apart from the US and China.
