Germany's pledged to phase out fossil fuels by 2045 for the first time. That's a pretty big target for such an industrial country. Does this kind of thing actually move the needle on climate change or is it just political talk?
Germany's one of the world's biggest industrial economies, so their supply chains and tech standards ripple outward - manufacturers elsewhere often shift to meet German/EU rules rather than making two versions of everything. That said, a 2045 pledge is real only if they actually fund the transition and don't backslide when it gets expensive, which is the part worth watching closely.
