We people in the field know that when a political functionary gets his claws into something, it turns into ideological garbage. This is what happened with the fundamental industry of any economy, the energy sector in Germany.

All the major parties have been involved in the destruction of nuclear energy, all are involved in nationalizing the energy sector and using subsidies to push nonsensical, ineffective energies such as wind energy further down the road. Germany is fighting against its own industry, its own prosperity. And as I said, everyone was involved: the liberal-socialists of the FDP as well as the communists of the Greens or the pseudo-conservatives of the greened Merkel CDU. There is no need to say a word about the intellectually exsanguinated Social Democrats at this point.

The gap in relative energy costs between Germany and the USA, which has been torn open by incredibly stupid energy policies, is exemplary of the origin of the de-industrialization of the country, which is becoming a laughing stock politically.
