Berlin’s most important ally, the US, amid an “unnecessary” Iran war.
I thought the most important ally was France…
Will they do anything to reduce the oil consumption and build renewables?
Yes, the German gov are not distorting the price signal with tax exemptions or price caps yet. Hence, the high prices motivage oil demand reduction.
I’m afraid you don’t understand how prices affect decisions.
Yes, the armchair expert comes to teach the internet. Hallowed be thy armchair wisdom.

what the hell are you talking about?
The fuck do I care about the US? The electricity in Germany is the most expensive in the EU and just because it’s close to 60% doesn’t mean it can’t get better.
Also, Germany is one of the major countries currently holding back the EU from reaching the 2050 climate neutral goal. They fucked the EU on the fossil engine phaseout. The government was sued because it wasn’t sticking to it and they lost. The current government is openly doubting whether they should stick to it.
To be fair pretty much everything is most expensive in Germany, compared to EU. But you are right, especially in regards of transportation Germany is a huge problem in EU legislation.
Wrong, German carmakers have pivoted to EVs, while stellantis and US carmakers have pivoted to combustion engines. Know your lobbyists.
They pivoted to EVs so hard they made billions and didn’t have to fire a bunch of people or lobby the German politicians to cancel the fossil engine phaseout. Please, teach us your fact-bending ways oh wise one. We want to know more of your Breitbart citations.
No matter how much a carmaker pivots to EVs, they will fire up to half of their employees. EV production is much simpler and requires less labor. Add to that the static demand and increasing supply from Chinese competitors.
This has nothing to do with a far right outlet. Please don’t try to diminish the value of my comments by insinuating that they reflect some far right position. They don’t.
