Once Europe’s economic engine, Germany’s ideologically driven energy and immigration decisions set it on a path of decline

Germany has long been Europe’s economic engine and its GDP is still third-largest in the world, behind the U.S. and China and just ahead of Japan and India. But because of serious economic and social policy failures, Germany is now a nation in decline.

Let’s begin with economic policy. Reliable, affordable energy is key to any country’s economic well-being. In 2002, Germany’s 11 nuclear plants generated more than a third of its electricity, with coal and oil supplying the rest.

Since then, Germany has made huge investments in solar and offshore wind power with the intention of phasing out fossil fuels. Its long-term plan, driven by an irrational anti-nuclear power campaign by environmental zealots, was to generate enough power from wind and solar to allow the shutdown of all nuclear plants by 2036.

Ideological energy and immigration choices have damaged Germany’s future.
