Whither Germany? (Spoiler: it's all about Energy)

 

There's a lot of interesting talk amongst these three gentlemen. About the future of Europe and of its most important component, Germany. Having been told about professor Tarik Cyril Amer, by an Occasional Reader. I don't agree with much of what Amer says, but some of it, yeah sure. 

One criticism: when they're talking about what happened to make Germany so weak, as it is today, and what could be done about it, they do no mention the single most important thing: Energy. 

Energy = Growth. Less energy, or more expensive energy = less growth. 

Germany embarked on a "transformation", from fossil fuels and nuclear to wind and solar. It's been an expensive failure. Major industries have decamped. Because they can't afford the energy. 

Therefore. One simple answer to the question "what can be done about Germany?" is this one: "Open up to every energy source that is available. Nuclear, gas, fracking, and, yes, even coal.". Open up to it all. 

But, no. The Greens have got them too much in thrall. As I've said before about the Greens. They're the single biggest reason that the world now has a carbon dioxide issue. They alone. The Greens have destroyed the planet. Because of their safetyist hate on Nuclear.
