Here are a couple of additional details from the excellent article in Unherd on Germany by Ralph Schoellhammer which I mentioned in the course of an earlier post:

One of the largest German producers of rotator blades for wind turbines has announced it will close down production in Germany and move to India.
Villeroy & Boch, a company that has produced tiles in the German city of Merzig since 1879 will retire its factory and move manufacturing to Turkey, quoting high energy and labour costs as the main reason.

Villeroy & Boch had recently warned about the impact of high gas and electricity prices. The latter have been very high in Germany for some time thanks to Merkel’s Energiewende, a program that involved massive investment in renewables, scrapping nuclear power and reliance on cheap Russian gas.

As brilliant, widely praised plans go, not the best.
