Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

By the way, anyone who believes they are safe because they do not work in or for the industry...

If the future turns out to be even half as bad as everyone describes here, then we have a good time ahead of us in the next decade(s), during which economic success and climate neutrality will be achieved together. I do not share this alarmism. All those who now see the economic location at risk also hoped last year that there would be a winter of rage. None of that happened thanks to the good crisis management of the traffic light coalition. And in the future, Germany will also be the leading industrial nation in Europe. Which company invented the corona vaccine? It was Biontech. Germany's innovation and future viability are not at risk; on the contrary, we will emerge strong from the crisis period.

I do not share the optimism. One emerges from crises strengthened if the right steps are taken. Steps in the right direction include, for example, reducing bureaucracy, investing in long-term infrastructure, having the courage for personal responsibility, and working with reality. Instead, in recent crises, everything was simply flooded with money, part of which only arrives after the crisis due to excessive bureaucracy (keyword: aid for oil heaters), decisions ignore reality (phasing out nuclear and coal at the same time as electrifying heating, mobility, industry). The infrastructure is so dilapidated that the transport minister no longer attends inaugurations but rather demolitions. And instead of citizens' personal responsibility, there is defensive paternalism. Our neighboring countries lifted mask mandates early in 2022 and returned to normality. Here at home, lockdowns and testing requirements were still being discussed in the fall...

I also want to stand up against this alarmism.
Firstly, much of what is blamed on the current government should be blamed on previous governments.

Secondly, many alarmist arguments are either false or grossly exaggerated. For example, we have too much bureaucracy; yes, as someone who has relatives in several countries, many things actually go comparatively quickly and easily for us. Bureaucracy is not only to be blamed on the government but clearly on the offices themselves. Sometimes the most complicated people sit there, and no one lifts a finger without being legally 1000% on the safe side.
But this is also a consequence of the fact that today lawsuits are filed over every little thing. This circumstance can hardly be blamed on the government but rather on the overall mentality of our society.

Thirdly, the economic downfall of Germany has been prophesied for years; strangely enough, we are constantly doing quite well. We have a refugee crisis, a pandemic, a war in Europe, various interest rate levels, and who knows what else behind us, and people can't think of anything better than filling bars in the evening and flying on vacation. Salary increases in the double-digit percentage range are no problem for most companies.
Just look back at the discourses last fall and how it actually went...
Companies that were sold to foreign investors were not dismantled and built up in other countries; no, some of them are doing better today than before because they benefit from shared experiences. It will be the same with Viessmann.

You must not always assume that your own opinion and assessment is the ultimately smart and only true one. Especially on the topics of Corona and energy, there are so many opinions and approaches to solutions - and none of them is entirely wrong or entirely right.

First of all, much of what is blamed on the current government should be attributed to previous governments. Companies that were sold to foreign investors were not dismantled and rebuilt in other countries; no, today they are in some cases doing better than before because they benefit from shared experiences. The same will happen with Viessmann.

My opinion. People always complain about Habeck etc., but he's just cleaning up the mess that Altmaier and his associates, as well as the war, have caused us. Who systematically slowed down the expansion of renewable energies? CDU-led governments. And that is why we had/have such an energy problem when the gas supply was cut off. You can think what you want about the nuclear phase-out, but that also came from a CDU-led government. And after that, the CDU was in government long enough to take action against the impending energy shortage (renewables). I also don't understand the fuss about Viessmann. There has hardly ever been a better time to sell. The order books are full, the company's value is high, and location guarantees and investments could be negotiated. That is definitely better than if Panasonic, with their significantly cheaper heat pumps, simply pushed Viessmann out in the coming years. Because once heating engineers slowly give up their brand loyalty, since customers prefer to pay 6k€ instead of 15k€ for a heat pump, it will quickly become tight for a medium-sized company like Viessmann.

One must not forget how crusty the German heating market is. The heating installers are trained by a handful of German manufacturers and thus tied to their products. When you read here that the heat pump costs 21,000€ in material alone, you can only laugh. Buy something Asian for half the price, but hardly anyone offers that. That is also the reason why the German manufacturers have remained at the manufacturing level of a manufactory; abroad, nobody wants these things for that price. How to manufacture heat pumps industrially will now be learned at Viessmann through the investor.
