Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Cola by leaving out the syrup and only selling water – tasty and period. Stalinist shortage economy indeed. Otherwise, China will certainly not build anything in Russia, only sell things. It remains open with what money ordinary Russians should buy that – the resource billions have nothing to do with it at least.

But Russians are used to that. Have fun with the Greens, who are currently introducing the Stalinist shortage economy here. Gas prices from 8 cents to 60 cents per kWh. We have no idea how to normalize this again. Companies and gas customers will not survive 12 months of this.

The construction industry will go into short-time work next year, many industrial companies too.

Has anyone thought about what we will do if China attacks Taiwan? Logically, the EU would then have to sanction just as harshly. Only then, that’s it for renewable energies, because we won’t get a single solar module anymore. Producing them ourselves is not possible either, as we no longer have the energy for it.

We are then screwed. Morally, however, we would have been exemplary (okay, not entirely, since Habeck humiliatingly licked the shoes of the sheikhs to get some gas, unfortunately his submission was of no use).

do you also have solutions or is complaining enough for you?

Do you read what you write? Again you blame the Greens for the gas price, although they have not been in government for 16 years. It has something of persecution mania and conspiracy theories against the Greens...

...
What does this mean for oil and gas producers? Their business model will become outdated in the coming years and sales will decline. Countries whose economies depend on the sale of these raw materials will face massive economic problems and will fall behind in development, trying to somehow stop or slow down this development in order to transform their own economy.

That sounds more like a rallying call to me, because your idea sounds pretty naive. If the Chinese and Indians knew about this... ;-)
The demand for energy sources will not decrease as a result, only if the Germans give them up

The solutions have been on the table since 2014, now after the invasion has happened, I consider it too late. Bitter realization, I know. One has to bite the bullet and force Ukraine and Russia to negotiations. Ukraine will have to cede part of its land and give up NATO membership, in return the Russians must stop all military actions. Of course, no one likes to hear that, it hurts because Ukrainians have a right to independence and to live in freedom. Only the Ukrainian government under Zelensky is also a really nasty bunch. They have nothing to do with democracy and humanity either. The population is choosing between the plague and cholera.

Then there is still the question of how to guarantee security permanently. Definitely put the Americans in their place; they have no business in Ukraine at all.

That could be one possibility. But here my expertise is by far not enough to give a prospect of success. I currently feel more like being at the regulars' table.

I keep wondering that too. The desired solution for many seems to be to cuddle up with Putin so that he personally delivers the energy to their homes. Appeasement worked so well with a certain Austrian, so why not take the same approach with Putin so that the German economy and the German consumer can carry on as if nothing happened? :rolleyes:
