They should immediately bend some of their manufacturing assets toward the goal of electrification. We need all heating to be electrified in the next 20-50 years anyway. No time like the present to start working on this effort.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoDoes Germany mostly use forced air or boilers for heat? Forced air is easier to switch to electric heat pumps, AFAICT.
- garionion 5y agoNearly every Building uses Boilers for heating
- ausudhz 5y agoYes then we produce electricity with Russian gas :)
- barney54 5y agoWhere is the electricity going to come from? Especially if they are closing nuclear and coal-fired power plants. They are building some renewables, but prices for electricity were high this year because wind speeds were low.

That being said, they are already well on their way with this process.
