The “greener” Germany gets, the bloodier its economy becomes. How much can an economy bleed before it dies?
Since Germany has become hostile to industry and its Green Revolution has made energy prices among the world’s highest, it’s no wonder that the country’s economy is hemorrhaging economically. Companies are shutting down and moving out.

For example, German online Blackout News here reports on how automotive supplier IHI has announced the closure of its plant at Erfurter Kreuz, Thuringia, and that around 300 employees will be affected in a region that is already struggling.
The company is an manufacturer of turbochargers for cars and intends to close the plant in 12 to 15 months, reports Blackout News.
The announcement is just the latest in a long, seemingly unending series of closures.
“In recent months, several automotive suppliers have had to close their doors or file for insolvency. This development shows the volatile challenges facing the industry,” comments Blackout News.
Analysts expect the demand for turbochargers, outfitted on internal combustion engines, will be less in the long term due to e-mobility.
Alarming economic pessimism trend
In more economic bad news for Germany, pessimism among small to medium size enterprises (SMEs), once the backbone of the German economy, has risen as the business climate index has fallen steeply to minus 1.4.
“The business climate index, an important barometer for the mood in small and medium-sized enterprises, fell to an alarming low of minus 1.4 points in February,” Blackout News reports here. “This is the lowest level since the financial crisis 15 years ago. A survey of around 1250 companies conducted by Creditreform Wirtschaftsforschung shows that the majority of respondents forecast a gloomy future for the SME sector.”
The latest figures show that there are no signs of hope for a recovery, “after the third year of crisis.”
Analysts blame a number of factors, such as the current weak construction and industrial production, geopolitical conflicts and “unclear economic policies”. The current Socialist-Green coalition government blames everyone else except for themselves.
The German government has shut down its remaining nuclear power plants after lying to the country in claiming that they weren’t needed – just after experts had concluded the opposite was in fact true. The government plans to phase out coal power plants as well, which will only further exacerbate Germany’s energy woes and its hostile business environment.
Let them crash. It is the only way they will learn, as common sense and using the brain is lost on the greens.

In ten years or less, nine-tenths of the population will have left the country because the government destroyed the economy to “save the Earth.” The land will be open to criminal gangs and foreign invaders who want to occupy the territory. The German nation will cease to exist. I think there’s a movie in this, or a cable TV series.
Dear Germans: Abandon every aspect of green ideology and embrace fossil fuels and nuclear energy. That’s the only way to save your country from self-inflicted destruction.
Of course the sea level was higher in the past . Man Made CO2 Driven Global Warming (TM) has evaporated the water out of the seas. Soon the sea bed will be completely exposed, and we will all die from lack of fish and chips or something.
