1. Forsa, the survey folks (I consider them fairly reliable) went and asked the German public how they felt about being pushed into the heat-pump agenda (draft law being discussed....mandating that in 2024....no more new natural gas or oil heating furnaces in your house and you'd have to flip to heat pumps instead).
How this goes with the public? In Eastern Germany....it's almost 100-percent against the heat pump agenda of the gov't. Across all of Germany? It's around 80-percent who are NOT in favor of the heat pump idea.
What this really means? I don't think the government went out and asked people for opinions when writing up the draft of the law, and it's been 'pushed' an awful lot. It's mostly a Green Party agenda, and with state elections.....2 in the fall of 2023, and 3 in the fall of 2024.....this could be serious problems if the Greens have this as a primary accomplishment.
2. Some odd knife attack in a Duisburg gym yesterday.....three people in serious condition. Attacker ran off and has not been arrested yet.
3. There is some hype going on about a return to nuclear energy. CDU/CSU party is picking up the pieces of this. Not likely to occur in 2023 or 2024....but if energy prices continue to escalate....it might draw public attention.
4. Some hype this week...over AfD Party. Compared to a year ago....they are six points ahead of where they were then. Now at 15-percent support in general public.
5. WELT has a piece on the front-page.....Russia economical machine is in danger of running out of money for the war.
