(Natural News)—Did you know that electricity prices in Germany are triple the cost of electricity here in the United States, all due to Germany’s “green” energy policies?
In recent years, Germany has been phasing out coal and nuclear energy in a way that has been described in German media as “not well coordinated with the European Union.” As a result, Germans are paying sky-high prices for energy that are completely unsustainable if the Germany economy is to stay afloat.
There are generally three main goals with effective energy policy: low prices, security of supply, and environmental protection with regard to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions – the latter one is debatable, of course. Germany’s energy policy fails in all three categories.
Combined with the economic fallout of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic,” Germany’s aggressively green energy agenda is wrecking the nation’s economy as various industries are forced to either pack up and leave or simply shut down.
Bayer, a massive German pharmaceutical giant, recently announced “massive job cuts” stemming from the economic problems that continue to plague the country. The company cited lacking business performance as the impetus.
Then there is Eisenwerk Hasenclever & Sohn, a 250-year-old German iron foundry that recently filed for insolvency. Eisenwerk Hasenclever & Sohn has long supplied well-known car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, and Porsche with parts, however it is no longer able to survive in the failing German economy.
“We can only speculate what happens next at this iron foundry. Will it be sold off in pieces and scattered abroad – leaving the region a rust belt?” asks Watts Up With That.
(Related: Earlier this year after Germany shut down its last three nuclear power plants, there was such a deficit of electricity throughout the county that Germany started buying nuclear power from nearby France.)
German machine builder Homag lays off 600 workers
Another German company that is shedding many of its employees is machine builder Homag, which announced the layoff of 600 workers worldwide, including around 35 at its Schopfloch, Baden-Württemberg-based headquarters.
According to reports, declining demand for its products is the reason why Homag is shedding workers. The goal is to save around 25 million euros next year, and around 50 million euros annually in 2025 and beyond.
“Despite the demand for woodworking machines in many branches of industry, the company expects the coming year to be challenging due to unexpectedly weak order figures,” reports explain.
While this story focuses on Germany, Europe’s largest economy is a bellwether of sorts for the rest of the world. As of late, we have been reporting on many U.S.-based companies that are laying off workers as well, and for many of the same reasons.
The global, Western-led economy would seem to be in its final death throes. We have yet to completely fall over the cliff, but such a fate is quickly coming into view as inflation soars across all sectors and new wars brew on multiple fronts, including in Ukraine and the Middle East.
“There are no optimistic economic signals in sight. Energy prices, inflation and catastrophic economic policies are rapidly sinking the German economic battleship and prosperity,” contends Watts Up With That.
One of the few companies that seems to be doing things right is Toyota, which resisted the electric vehicle (EV) hype and carefully treaded into even the hybrid market with caution. As a result, the car company reported record-breaking profit, in large part due to the sale of hybrids, which it now sells more of than any other automaker out there.

Retirement Clarity Starts With One Step
In a world where financial markets fluctuate wildly and economic uncertainties loom large, achieving clarity in your retirement planning can feel like an elusive dream. But what if the path to a secure future begins with just one decisive step?
That step is choosing to take control of your retirement accounts by partnering with a trustworthy company to establish a self-directed IRA. This simple yet powerful move empowers you to break free from conventional constraints and steer your financial destiny with confidence.
Traditional retirement accounts, often tied to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, are rooted in strategies that have not evolved much since the mid-20th century. These default options are typically designed with the advisor’s interests in mind—think high management fees, limited investment choices, and a one-size-fits-all approach that prioritizes institutional profits over your personalized needs.
Advisors benefit from ongoing commissions and asset-based charges, while retirees are left navigating a system that may not align with modern economic realities or individual risk tolerances. It’s no wonder so many feel trapped in a cycle of underwhelming performance and hidden costs.
Enter the self-directed IRA: a game-changer that puts you firmly in the driver’s seat. By working with a reliable partner experienced in self-directed accounts, you gain the freedom to explore a broader range of investment opportunities beyond the standard fare. This includes alternatives assets like physical precious metals, allowing for true diversification tailored to your vision.
The real advantage lies in the tangible control it offers—decide where your money goes, when to pivot, and how to optimize for tax advantages inherent in IRAs. No more relying on outdated models that favor the financial industry; instead, you’re building a portfolio that reflects your goals, whether that’s growth, stability, or legacy planning.
The beauty of this approach is its simplicity and accessibility. A trustworthy partner handles the administrative complexities, ensuring compliance with IRS regulations while you focus on strategy. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about reclaiming agency in an era where passive investing often leads to passive results. Retirees who make this shift report greater peace of mind, knowing their nest egg is working harder for them, not for someone else.
If retirement clarity has felt out of reach, start today with that one step. Connect with Augusta Precious Metals and unlock the potential of true financial independence. Your future self will thank you.
Just ponder America’s future when Bill Gates has finished chopping down those 70 million trees —— and I am not being facetious?!?!

Time for the German people to identify those who voted yes, give them their fair, 3 minute tribunal, and hang the 10 minutes after conviction.
Germany lost both WW I and WW II. Those losses led to the messes we see today in Ukraine and Israel. But if Germany loses WW III, we need to prevent another global maelstrom somewhere else… 👹🤡🍦🍦🍦
German economy collapsing after The United States blows up the pipeline supplying fuel to Europe. Does it seem odd to you that Germany does not show their appreciuation to the U.S. by buying natural gas from the U.S. to replace that fuel?
History dictates that if you are on the same side of Germany in a WAR you are on the wrong side history.
