"My Worry Is We Become Like France" Featuring Dr. Lars Schernikau and Dr. Daniel Stelter

This podcast discusses the upcoming German election and its potential impact on German and European energy policy. The hosts, along with two expert guests, a macroeconomist and an energy expert, analyze the political landscape, highlighting the lack of significant policy shifts expected regardless of the election outcome. The discussion centers on Germany's current energy challenges, including high prices and deindustrialization, and the limited potential for change given the likely coalition governments. A key concern is the potential for further economic stagnation and the rise of extremist parties if energy policy issues remain unresolved. The guests express pessimism about the current political climate and the likelihood of necessary reforms being implemented.
