The incredible part is that there is no plan to fix any of this.

The German government has effectively said “this is just going to keep getting worse and worse.”

It’s a complete deindustrialization project, the explanation being that the leaders of Germany don’t like the leaders of Russia.

You can’t make steel without using lots and lots of electricity. Green Germany is already running out of that, and what’s left is much more expensive.

Yeah, if the globalists hadn’t blown up their gas pipeline with Russia, Germany could afford to make steel.

The idiots. The term “blockhead” didn’t just fall out of the sky. They decided backing a coup in Ukraine and importing a few million wild moslems and Africans was more important than cheap gas.

all part of the Western Nations’ ‘green’ suicide pact:

20 Jan: Yahoo: UK Independent: Britain will be forced to rely on steel from India and China after Tata closures in Port Talbot
by Archie Mitchell and Alex Ross
The closure of two blast furnaces at Britain’s biggest steelworks will lead to thousands of job losses and leave the UK reliant on foreign steel imports for years to come.

In a fresh blow to Rishi Sunak, Tata Steel said it was cutting 2,800 jobs at its plant in Port Talbot in south Wales as it confirmed the closing of both blast furnaces at the site...

The move means almost 75 per cent of workers will lose their jobs. The GMB union said the job losses are a “crushing blow to Port Talbot and UK manufacturing in general”...

The Germans could sure use those nuclear power plants right about now huh? Oh well, Gaia demanded they sacrifice their industrial economy so the Germans complied.

Now Gaia demands they sacrifice their agriculture sector. The Germans are once again complying with that.

They’ll give their angry weather goddess whatever she demands.

Is that the explanation? If so, makes zero sense.

It seems like every few decades, the Germans go on a lemming-like warpath of self-destruction. Traditionally, it has involved war, but this time it’s a spirtual (vs. physical) type of self-destruction.

Let Greta lead prayers for more wind and sun

But One can always drill baby drill.

Let’s find out which is more effective.

Any bets?

More importantly — will there be Altbier in Dusseldorf after all this sh*t?

That’s why they created Tennessee Valey Authority so that they could make steel in northern Alabama and Tennessee to make our heavy armor to fight WWII

Germany best ramp up production capability. They are going to need it to build tanks to replace all the stuff Trump is going to bring home once he is elected.

He warned them they weren't living up to their end of the bargain of spending vs GDP is comparison to what America spends over there.

When Russia controlled Germany’s energy, they were fine to leave Germany as an industrial superpower. Now that the Neocons took control of Germany’s energy, those days are over, and now ABJECT POVERTY awaits them.
