Industrial Devolution: Renewables Obsession Leaves German Industry Crushed By Rocketing Power Prices
No country went harder and faster with its renewable obsession than Germany. The rocketing power prices that inevitably followed are crushing its once thriving industries, including motor manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz.
