 The German government's advisory council WBGU has written a report, which is more than likely to result in a series of new laws concerning your very existence, your childrens' chance to "get a life" and poor nations to ever prosper.
Let me first of all emphasize, that Germany is currently a federal republic with a population of more than 81 million people, falling by 0.2% annually. The German economy is the fifth largest economy in the world in PPP terms and Europe's largest. For hundreds of years Germany has been a central point for music, industry, science, philosophy and largely also finance. I am sure you already knew that, just take it as a reminder in what is to follow.
We are so used to live with democracy, that it is difficult for us to see when we are tricked into the very opposite. Through many decades of climate scare and a corrupted bank system, it has become the morally correct thing to go "green", reduce the world population to between 1.000 million and 2.000 million, keep our hands off the very nature we are part of and to blindly follow authority.
On a global scale the United Nations and their sub division, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is the main driver of "green" economy. However, Germany wants to go more "green" than that and has adopted vital parts of the failed framework presented at COP15 in Copenhagen December 2009. The new "green" economy framework in Germany, is laid out in a new WBGU report in Summary For Policy-Makers under the English title "World in Transition - A Social Contract for Sustainability" http://wbgu.de/.
The new WBGU Summary For Policy-Makers is going to be adopted by the German government by June 2011 and will intensify the already "greening" economy. Because Germany is such a central player in world economy and politics, the adoption of WBGU will almost certainly ripple through to the rest of the world. So, is this good, bad or somewhere in between? To answer this question in a fairly objective way, let us look at how "green" economy has worked out past years, in particular with respect to industry and potential for sustainable employment.
Strong believers in "green" economy like Spain, Denmark, United Kingdom, USA and Germany have all seen a particular huge migration of energy heavy industry. Much industry has gone to China, and that for very good reasons. Apart from China having cheap labour-force, they also make sure they can provide plentiful cheap energy, building a new coal fired power station every week and lots of nuclear power in the making. In most west European countries, with the clear exception of France, they make sure to go more and more "green", by closing their coal fired stations, and closing down their nuclear power. In Germany this means import of electricity from French nuclear power, and other neighbouring countries with enough nuclear power. At times Germany saves on electricity import when the wind blows at correct speed, and the Sun shines from a clear sky, but this at an enormous cost, both financially and environmentally.
The WBGU implementation by June 2011 will almost certainly belittle German industry significantly as energy prices and scarcity increases with this COP15 style climate economy. Many people see this as a deliberate de-industrialisation of the currently rich nations, and it neither help the economy and employment nor the environment and certainly not the climate. Actually, what the German lead is doing, is to sacrifice themselves for the sake of industrialising and enriching China and other emerging industry countries.

Please make your move at your earliest convenience, because by June 2011 it will already be too late.
