Not an O & G guy. What is a "turnaround"? Is that like an annual two week maintenance shut down for a paper mill?

I know that, but it doesn't stop Germany from making dumb decisions like this, they've been making some really bad decisions for about 200 years now

Too true, but I was speaking to industry and the need for affordable power.

Is there anyone who considers them desirable, outside of psychotic globalists, that is?

No, Germany and all of Western Europe are already dead.

And the sooner the US stops acting like it isn’t the better we will be.

those lazy eurotards would never make it here.



What? MBUSA has been in the US for about 35 years. Their US plant is here in Tuscaloosa. They employ about 6,000 people + all the suppliers that asre setup within 50 miles of the plant.

They do just fine. Luckily they have been able to fend off the UAW. They periodically force a vote and always lose. Hope it stays that way.

I have some prime real estate in northeast LA that they are welcome to lease for the next 100 years. Come on over Mercedes.

Trump tried telling them that relying on Russian energy was suicide.

He should have added that relying on lazy German workers is also suicide.
