Um Moskau, Peking und Washingtons wirtschaftlicher Ansturm zu überleben, muss Europa wieder zu Reinsinnern geraten

Submission statement: With the advent of Trump’s tariffs, the EU has once again found itself caught in the crossfire of great power geo-economic ambitions. It must respond by prioritising EU and partner industries, cutting red tape, and boosting energy production.

How the hell is Europe going to reindustrialize? Europe killed their own energy production, which is one of the primary inputs to any industrial process. At least they can tell themselves (while driving in cars whose steel was made in India and working in buildings whose cement was made in China) that they are „good people“ – and can let the whole world know it. At least until recently, Europe could point to industrial chemical production (thanks to BASF) but the loss of cheap Russian natural gas has put paid to that, as well.
