German Industry Supported Climate Policies, Now Seeks Subsidies As Costs Mount

German companies supported policies like phasing out nuclear power and combustion engines that have led to deindustrialization
Now these companies are criticizing the government's "toxic" climate policies that they previously supported
German automakers and industry want taxpayer subsidies to remain competitive and avoid moving production abroad
The German government has provided billions in subsidies to industry under the guise of environmental policy
This amounts to a Ponzi scheme where German companies participated in suicidal policies in hopes of getting easy government subsidies
