Yes that would be a great use! They should also repave the Autobahn, build some gas pipelines so they aren't dependent on a geopolitical enemy, invest in a broken military, and cut taxes and increase benefits for people with a high marginal propensity to consume, that is, the poorest people who work for a wage.
- adrianN 7y agoI don't think gas pipelines are good investments. Any investment into fossil fuel infrastructure creates vested interests in the continued use. Similarly, I'd prefer investments in rail infrastructure over investments in the Autobahn.
- imtringued 7y agoPower to gas will be necessary for a future with 100% renewables. The existing gas infrastructure will then come in handy but coal plants and their mines probably can't be saved.

- adrianN 7y agoThe existing gas infrastructure is sufficient to distribute gas within the country. The pipelines that are currently being discussed are for transporting gas from where it's produced to Germany. Or maybe there are pipeline projects that I haven't heard about.
- majewsky 7y ago> They should also repave the Autobahn People are already complaining about too many construction sites on the Autobahn. The main issue there is that we don't have enough workforce in the construction industry, mostly as a result of demographics and everyone wanting to go to university instead of learning a trade.
