I completely agree with a part of the comment that DE gov't probably didn't consider a long war or a long bad relation with RU.
If they did, there wouldn't have been blocking Spain's proposal to supply EU with Algerian and Moroccan gas. And they would have been looking into incentivizing solar, geothermal, etc. with immediate effect.
Since German heavy industry is very dependent on Russian gas, if it's not coming, it's almost guaranteed a global economic meltdown much like 2008. Since it's not coming from banks liquidity this time, we are unprepared for it.
- screenbreakout 5y agoI don't know where to add this question without it seeming off subject, but seeing as we're heading into spring, seeing Germany has quite a wealthy economy and QOL, that many if not most workers get 5 weeks of holiday, the chip shortage is leading to slowdowns in the automotive industry etc... why doesn't the government just go cold turkey, give people a month or 2 free holidays while drastically reducing public lighting, telling businesses to stop heating their premises at night etc etc... I mean we had a dress rehearsal 2 years ago with the onset of Covid, this would be better ,for a good cause, probably give a boost to domestic spending and send a f...U to the rest of the world saying we too can think outside of the box :-)
