Everytime I see something about Germany in the news I can't stop thinking about their nuclear power plants being shut down to satisfy an (incorrect) agenda. That obviously turned out to be a completely wrong move.
I don't see Germany being able to recalculating their route because they (and the classic european union) are so entangled in processes to keep their machine as is that any change now is too late, the iceberg is just a couple of decades ahead.
- maxglute 2y agoWould nuclear have really mattered? 1/10th of german industry operated on cheap RU gas as inputs/feedstock, likely much more than 1/10 in aggregate throughout the industrial chain. The composition DE industry / economic that worked well prewar doesn't work / compete when you remove the cheap gas, and US/MENA LNG isn't cheap. I suppose if they actually build very solid products they can still rationalize a premium to cover extra input costs, but RoW, well really PRC quality+quantity rapidly closing/haveclosed gap, and they'll have cheap RU inputs for a while. At least throughout war, maybe for a long time if pipelines makes delivery "nextdoor" like DE use to enjoy.
