The left prefers feelings and beliefs, but facts and data are sometimes worth examining. Shall we? 1. Germany has spent about €400 billion on its “green” energy transition, an unbelievable amount. 2. Higher energy prices have imploded energy-intensive industrial production, costing countless well-paid jobs. 3. By shutting clean nuclear plants while keeping coal and gas, German energy production generates 10 times more emissions than France’s. Yep, 10 times more. 4. Production moved to Asia, where the same products generate far more emissions in manufacturing and shipping. A Chinese-built car shipped to Europe causes 70% more emissions than one built in Germany, cement production causes twice as many. In short, €400bn spent to ruin German industry, destroy jobs, and harm the climate badly. Why do the Germans do this to themselves and the planet?
