Germany news: Climate activists target tank factory – Climate activists have carried out protests across the industrial Ruhr Valley ahead of a weekend of climate action.
Climate activists target Ruhr Valley as Greta Thunberg attends protest camp.
Nice try.
Germans have been cutting energy use for years. But this has been in direct response to Germany’s brain dead Green energy policies. Fun fact: They have the highest energy costs in Europe (in the world?). See the current German economic meltdown. “Current,” get it?
Survey: Two-thirds of Germans cut energy use in response to Iran war – Some two-thirds of German residents are consciously reducing their energy consumption in response to rising prices linked to the war with Iran, according to a survey published on Monday by comparison portal Verivox.
The representative poll found that 55% of respondents were trying to lower heating costs, while 52% were paying closer attention to electricity use and 56% said they switched off electronic devices instead of leaving them on standby.
It’s the taxation, stupid.
Germany news: Gas price hike higher than other EU countries – Fueled by the Middle East war, German petrol prices have risen more sharply than in neighboring EU countries.
That means growth.
A rare occurance in Germany these days.
Energy price shock slows growth – The war in Iran is dashing hopes for a sustained economic recovery. This is throwing the Merz administration’s entire economic policy strategy into disarray.
To Ger-man-y.
“Deliveries currently unaffected.”
First LNG deliveries from Oman to German firm begin despite Iran war – The first deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Oman to a German company have begun despite the war in Iran, said a spokesperson for the German state-owned gas supplier Sefe on Wednesday.
The deliveries are currently unaffected by the developments in the Gulf region and have commenced as planned, said the spokesperson.
But it’s just a consideration for now.
Germany considers ramping up coal power to avert energy crisis – Increasing use of the dirtiest fossil fuel would likely increase the country’s CO2 emissions.
That means speed limit.
And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.
‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.
And that’s saying a lot.
Energy bottleneck in Middle East is damaging German economy – Expensive energy, rising prices and disrupted supply chains are all bad news for economic growth. The German government is alarmed by events in the Middle East.
When the US and Israel attacked Iran, the response was not long in coming. Iran is no longer allowing ships to pass through its coastal waters. The Strait of Hormuz, the bottleneck in the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the global oil trade passes every day, is now effectively blocked.
After the attack, the price of oil immediately rose sharply. Prices for gasoline and diesel also skyrocketed at German gas stations. Depending on the region, premium gasoline even went as high €2.50 ($2.89) per liter. The average price for diesel is currently just over €2, which is €0.30 higher than before the attack on Iran.
The Iran conflict is ruining German vacation plans!
Call in the Germany military – to get German vactioners out.
Iran war: Tens of thousands of German travelers stranded – German tour operators say at least 30,000 customers have been left without travel options after thousands of flights were canceled across the Middle East because of the US-Israel war with Iran.
Tens of thousands of people on trips organized by German travel agencies have been affected by US-Israel war with Iran, a leading trade group said on Monday.
Figures from the German Travel Association suggest that some 30,000 tourists are unable to fly home amid the hostilities, which have prompted several countries in the region to close their airspace, while many airlines have put flights into and out of the crisis area on hold.
German flagship carrier Lufthansa is among those airlines. The company said that airspace over Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the Saudi airport of Dammam will not be used by Lufthansa and its subsidiaries until at least March 8. United Arab Emirates airspace will be avoided until March 4.
Two-thirds of them don’t welcome killer robots.
They’re stuck in the past, man.
One in three Germans welcome killer robots, new poll says – AI-enabled technologies like drones are transforming warfare but face criticism from rights groups.
Call it “bots on the ground.”
One in three Germans think their country should allow artificial intelligence to make life-or-death decisions on the battle field, according to The POLITICO Poll.
A third of respondents in Germany said they favor AI systems to be used in weapons in place of human decision makers, even if these systems are less transparent, the poll showed.
