   While the gas prices remain high in germany, the industrial electricity prices are now lower than before the war.
   So there is more than energy

   LNG is not cheap enough to make production in Germany as competitive as it was with Russian gas. Germany has essentially 3 options to recover it’s competitive advantage:
   1. nuclear power. Takes about 20 years to fix the problem.
   2. renewables. Takes about 30 years in total, but every wind turbine reduces the problem, so it would be only half as severe after half the time, as opposed to nuclear power, which would suddenly fix the problem at the end of the 20 years, but not help to reduce it before.
   3. return to Russian gas. Building Nordstream 3 would take about 2 1/2 years, and would be the by far fastest way to recover German economy, but it would also require pretty radical and risky changes in Germany’s foreign policy.
   It boils down to the renewables being Plan A, Nordstream 3 being plan B in case the renewables don’t work well enough and fast enough and the situation becomes desperate enough to take the risks involved, and nuclear power being a mock alternative wielded by conservative politicians to pretend they have a better alternative.

   "China's domestic EV market has EXPLODED!" HAH! How right you are. Cars and electric cycles have been reportedly spontaneously doing just that.

   Protectionism doesn’t apply only to USA and China. The effects of the sanctions on Russia are virtually indistinguishable from the effects of protectionism, with basically only difference being that it’s not Russia itself who has the power to change that externally induced protectionist policies. All the other effects on Russian economy are basically the same as with protectionism, and likely to lead to the same long term developments.
   Although, strictly speaking, Russia doesn’t have the power to stop the externally induced protectionism, but they have the power to prolong it, by being more aggressive in the war in case the western countries consider to end the sanctions.

   Germany needs to do four things to re emerge as the powerhouse of Europe. 1. Stop bringing in African immigrants now. 2. German women must start having German kids. 3. Germany must reject so called “Green energy” and focus on coal and gas. Germany as well as all other peoples must throw the Zionists (WEF) Trilateralists, Builderburgers out of power and regain their countries.

   Guess staying in the EU hasn't done Germany any favours. Because thats the narrative were all force fed right? Leaving the EU was meant to be the worst economic decision?

    Germany will be hit hardest by natural gas, which is around three times more expensive (than before 2022).
    Extremely energy-intensive sectors such as the chemical, plastics and paper industries are suffering as a result.

    The underlying problem in Germany is their energy policy. Shutting down nuclear and trying to move to Green energies without clear alternatives means Germany has the highest energy costs in Europe. Industry cannot function with high energy costs. They also managed to let the Chinese steal most of their technologies, making their industry uncompetitive. And their uncontrolled immigration policies created social unrest and disrupted the German work ethic. You talk about symptoms but ignore the underlying problems. Though the dependence on Russia for energy was one of the stupidest things they could do.

    It’s all about energy. They lose the energy advantage so they have to look for more added value sectors. There’s too many to compete with.

    You forgot something. The lobbyists, the corrupt politicians, Putin and his hacker army, WireCrad, the mafia – which has bought in (Telekom) and the politicians who are giving away Germany's industry to China and the world – see robotics, AI and solar technology

    Chinese people respect a highly industrialized and technologically rigorous Germany. Chinese people generally have a favorable impression of German products. The ancestor of our modern military is Germany, and we started learning from Germany. Here is a group of lunatics telling us that Germany wants to abandon industry. Without industrialization, is Germany eligible to be called Germany?
    By the way, when will you give up industry? Tell us that we are prepared to make up for the losses to humanity caused by the absence of German industry in the world.

    Lol, I remember getting into a war with people here when just a few months ago, I pointed out how Germany ( and Europe in general ) is very overrated. As time goes by, I'm proven correct!

    the fact that Germany was able to say No to Russian gas and started switching to LNG requires special appreciation. German people gave housing and food to 1 million Ukrainians escaping the Russian attacks.
    Germany is a great country.

    Their so called sanctions shot them in the back like Elmer Fudd from Looney Tunes. And now they drop the Nordstream investigation, which was unecessary in the first place because Biden and other US officials even said they would 'end' Nordstream few months before the incident. Who needs enemies when you have allies like these

    China’s “Made in China 2025” plan is only a portion of the problem. The failing Chinese Economy is a much bigger problem for German exports to China.

    Europe has more shale reserves than North America but they're so special that they refuse to get their hands dirty drilling for it. They'd rather import it. That's social liberalism at work.
