The German industrial electricity subsidy - the Industriestrompreis - is shaping up: the ministry just published implementation details.
This interactive chart shows the maximum relief - also for other member states, considering the indirect emission cost subsidy: delors-data.eu/IES/ (1/3)

Reminder also that there is a clause in the German coalition agreement excluding cooperation by the coalition partners - SPD and CDU/CSU - with parties that are unconstitutional, undemocratic, and right-wing extremist "on all political levels". This would include the EU level.
It’s something we’ve witnessed for a while. In Germany, Weber likes to give the impression of a moderate conservative, also compared to others in his party, but in Brussels he then goes and cooperates with the far-right

The only way for Germany to stop the meltdown in its auto sector is by working with Europe.

A chart Berlin‘s economic policy-makers should think hard about.
Doing a buy-German clause in new EV subsidies would be an own goal.
The German market is simply too small, and lacks sufficient premium demand.

One of the most self-destructive things Germany could do is to reverse the green transition now.
Renewables expansion has been on a tear but Germany has seen reversals before, unfortunately. And the country still does not have oil or gas and isn’t getting any anytime soon (ever).

With all the caveats that the far right hasn't been weakened, only splintered in the Netherlands, it's still very good to see an election where liberal democracy is not on the line and a government with a pro-European outlook is back in sight
