    These “premium” German brands are all committing suicide. Rejecting electric cars, rejecting nuclear power, designing cars that look like puke, and doing everything to monetize your use of the car.

    With incompetent leadership like this, those 8k workers being laid off from BMW is just the beginning.

      don’t worry, they’ll keep stoking nationalist paranoia and shift to weapon production. What’s the worst that could happen?

        You’re right, they should keep burning coal. Clean, beautiful coal, works no matter how hot it gets!

          They also need cooling for exactly the same reason and pretty much the same amount for the same power generation.

            Nope, there’s not. Countries like Denmark which pretty much only produces wind power is completely reliant on importing energy from countries with a diverse energy mix, without which they would have blackouts every week.
