Since the 1950s, when they’d barely finished clearing the rubble.
Notice they even began with energy.
It’s the 1000 Year Reich in democratic clothing. And North America is next on the menu.

Everyone is being forced into using only electricity, everywhere. And we are also being nudged and bullied into EV. So, you are correct: manufacturing will be curtailed. Trains will be sidelined. They will sit in the dark, but with cell phones, until that becomes problematic for the Rulers.
I occasionally watch an Austrian vlogger, Survival Lily, who has advised Europeans to make sure they have solar generators in addition to standard preps.
She has little hope for Europe, going forward. The best that come of this $#!+ show is that the EU will collapse as every nation reverts to its own self-interest. But as TPTB strike the set on their grand illusion, it is going to be a calamity, everywhere.
Well, you are right on both counts.
