Looming large in the hours between Donald Trump’s election victory and the late-night collapse of Germany’s government is a crisis of competitiveness that has sapped life from Europe’s largest economy.
Companies including chemicals giant BASF SE, auto supplier ZF Friedrichshafen AG and home-appliance maker Miele & Cie. KG have shifted resources outside their homeland, leading to a net outflow of capital of more than €650 billion ($700 billion) since 2010, according to figures from the Bundesbank. Almost 40% of that has taken place since 2021, when Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s fractious coalition was voted into power.

You wanna know the primary cause of the exodus? It's all about going green and "saving the planet" regardless of the consequences.

Would you want to run a factory where energy costs are 2x to 5x more expensive compared to what your competition is paying?

Germany and japan and now France for some strange reason shut their nuclear power plants.
Data centres now want nuclear fuel as it's considered green.
