Net Zero and climate ideology are destroying Volkswagen

Unrealistic Energy ideologies and unrealistic Climate Alarmism ideologies are successfully destroying Volkswagen.
(And much of the EU and UK and Western countries.)

Meanwhile, China is delighted to help take up the slack which is growing due to the failing economic vaccuum created by Net Zero cum open borders policies of much of the West.

While China of course remains exempt (except for false head-fake lip service) to these same unrealistic Net Zero Energy ideologies and unrealistic Climate Alarmism ideologies.

============================

“Volkswagen — and with it the entire German automotive sector as well as energy-intensive industries more generally — has its back against the wall.

… The consequences of Germany’s nuclear phase-out and the continued expansion of climate regulation have been discussed often enough here.

Taken together, they create the impression of an ideologically driven economic suicide by a satiated society that was convinced of its own success — and must now watch as its industrial substance, the engine of prosperity, is ground down between excessive energy and labor costs, growing regulation and the merciless forces of global competition.

Volkswagen has become a victim of increasing political central planning and the permeation of the corporate landscape with environmental ideology. …”
