The Great Fear of Halting Germany’s De-IndustrializationA great fear is making the rounds online! The catastrophe is imminent! Yes, total catastrophe! The federal government wants to destroy deindustrialization! 
Specifically, this is about a draft by Economics Minister Katherina Reiche, according to which the further expansion of renewable energy is to be tied to how the transmission grid is expanded. After all, now that nuclear power no longer clogs up the power grids, it is electricity from sun and wind that does. And since the federal government is dragging its feet on expanding the power grids—or because the money is lacking—the operators of wind and solar plants are to be obliged to waive compensation payments in the event of curtailment. In addition, grid operators would be allowed to demand that plant operators contribute financially to the expansion of the power grids. Reiche wants to cut redispatch costsBut if there is no longer any compensation when wind and solar power cannot be fed into the grid, then the plants no longer pay off. It is feared that many new projects will no longer be realized as a result. That means nothing less than the halting of deindustrialization is on the agenda. Because if redispatch costs are no longer passed on to electricity customers and taxpayers in order to let plant operators cash in, energy prices could fall. And that in turn means that Germany could once again become internationally competitive, at least to some extent.Petition against the halt of deindustrializationQuite rightly, the Greens have launched a petition. Save the Renewable Energies. Almost 90,000 people have already signed this petition.It cannot be allowed that the federal government tries to delay achieving the important climate targets. Because if, all over the world, the hunger for energy and the construction of coal-fired power plants etc. continue to increase—because for the governments there the prosperity of people is more important than a panic over CO2—then obviously it is up to us to forgo prosperity. Without a doubt, deindustrialization must continue. And if you still have a job, it is absolutely necessary that you quit it immediately. Those who do not work cause less CO2. And then you can show everyone unmistakably that one can live perfectly well in poverty. There is hopeFortunately, the much-loved federal government is pursuing multiple tracks. Thus, with high probability, the low gas storage levels will lead to industry in many regions having to be ramped down or shut down in the foreseeable future. And that, of course, saves CO2.And there is a second excellent piece of news: the beloved government apparently is not giving any thought to what will happen to the PCK Schwedt refinery. About 90 percent of the fuel that people in eastern Germany and Berlin fill up with is produced there. So if it succeeds, through such foot-dragging, in taking these capacities off the market, then the price of gas, but also of diesel and gasoline, will hopefully rise. As a result, people will fill up less, and that again saves CO2. And whoever continues to heat or refuel and drive a car will pay more taxes and levies into the state coffers. So a win-win-win situation. And then perhaps one or another carmaker like Stellantis (Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat, Opel, etc.) will reconsider building more EVs again, whether turning away from the electric car for crude economic reasons is really a good idea. They now want to produce fewer EVs just because car buyers don’t have much desire for EVs. But since when has it been about what people want, please? So deindustrialization has not been completely called off yet. But we absolutely must stay on the ball so that we do not leave this path of virtue. So sign the petition so that it can be submitted to the federal government—even though politics ignores petitions all the time. If we finally want to have deeply snow-covered winters with long periods of frost again—with failures in rail and public transport, power outages, supply shortages, cold apartments and houses, deeply discharged EV batteries, etc.—then we must try all the harder, if only because the rest of the world doesn’t really care. A winter like back in the late 1970s, as described in the following interview—meter-high snowdrifts, no way through, days-long power outages, collapse of social life, no medical care anymore, especially for the old and the sick. Only then without nuclear power plants and without tile stoves that could have heated even without electricity. But with lots of wind turbines standing still and solar plants buried under snow. Yes, that would really be nice again, wouldn’t it? After all, the fight against climate change is explicitly waged to protect the old and the sick, right?
