I think the bigger question is why is she so in the "Climate Change" column when everyone here on FR see's it is a crock? What underlying assumptions or debt in the German Economy require that they "sell" anti-global warming cars, buses etc, how does she and Germany benefit? Is it ideological or is their more too it?
The only thing I can think of, is Siemens makes a kick-@$$ "Combined Cycle" ( some say "Co-Generation" ) Gas Fired Powerplant with Thermal Efficiencies of 61% which is huge.
That is good, but what good is burning clean and efficient if you have to buy the resource to power said plant from a Former KGB Agent, unless you are hell bent and everyone buying Siemen's powerlants? What other "Value Added" products would Germany sell to a world in need of low carbon using devices?
Good observation, considering Trump’s pullout of the Paris accords, this leaves Germany holding the bag with regards to the carbon “debits”.
