Environmentally conscious citizens agree with climate activists: Mankind must move away from fossil fuels. Street blockades, pasting campaigns in museums and, most recently, violence against the police in Lützerath go too far for many people.

comment by Alexander HagelukenWhat drastic forecasts were those that scared the Germans last year? The energy shock and inflation would cause the economy to collapse by up to ten percent, it was said, and the next drama would follow the corona crisis. Now it is becoming clear: the crash has been canceled for the time being. In these times of new wars and international conflicts, that's good news.
