Hasn’t Germany deindustrialized itself? I heard that Bayer moved manufacturing out to China as they were worried that they wouldn’t have enough power during the previous winter.
- ein0p 2y agoThat pain is coming in earnest next year. Ukraine is still transiting Russian gas to the EU, but the deal is expiring at the end of this year. Germany will deindustrialize much more in the next few years until they turn on the only intact Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline
- bgnn 2y agoNah. That is due to US bombing Nordstream pipelines and Germany having no plan-B on emergy dependency. The real problem is Germany got a very comfortable market within EU by bullying all the Southern Europe into submission (even France!) and killing their production. This got German companies complacent. Their auto industry is dying a slow death and all they do is more protectionist regulations. Stuff like dieselgate is a direct result of this.
- nradov 2y agoThat is at least partly true. Some chemical manufacturers that depended on natural gas have moved production out of Germany. https://cen.acs.org/business/Germanys-chemical-industry-survive-gas/101/i19 https://cen.acs.org/business/Germanys-chemical-industry-surv...
