Ideological green policies are tearing Germany\u2019s economy apart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Green policies are currently driving German industry into a wall at 300 km\/hr. Image\u00a0cropped here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also warns of a rapid demolition of Germany\u2019s economic backbone: the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story at Pleiteticker here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a disgrace what is sitting in the chair of Ludwig Erhard or Graf Lambsdorff. The hostility to technology coming from the Ministry of Economics is unbearable. Everywhere where we are or were world market leaders, we have gone about abolishing it,\u201d Lauk said in an interview . It is the \u201cworst thing that could happen\u201d for German industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor several years now, we have been working hard to destroy this competitive advantage of German industry or to hand it over to other nations. We now have \u2018economic heads\u2019 sitting in the Ministry of Economics who have no other professional qualifications,\u201d Lauk added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauk says Germany\u2019s technological advantages are now in jeopardy because the backbone of Germany\u2019s economy and driver of innovation is the country\u2019s automotive industry. \u201cThis is where most of the jobs are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

150 years of technological experience \u201cthrown away\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe technological advantage of German carmakers through 150 years of experience with the combustion engine, transmissions etc. is being recklessly abandoned, Lauk said. \u201cWe are throwing away our competitive advantage and adopting the \u2018Chinese drive\u2019. Because 80 per cent of the battery drives come from China. That means China has driven us up against the wall in a strategic situation. And with our naivety, we didn\u2019t realize what was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unaffordable for the bottom 50% <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lauk warns that because of e-cars being considerably more expensive than conventional combustion engine vehicles: \u201cThe bottom fifty percent of the income pyramid will no longer be able to find a vehicle for less than 40,000 euros.\u201d and thus this group will see significantly restricted mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinder dry social powder keg of the haves and have nots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday you can get a cheap, suitable vehicle for 15,000, 18,000 or 20,000 euros. That will no longer be the case. We are running into a huge social conflict with this idiotic, singular policy to drive with electric batteries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
