The economic views are strongly opposed to the green transition, arguing that it destroys industry and competitiveness (citing the decline of Germany and the United Kingdom). It supports broad-based energy development (nuclear, hydro, coal), following the example of China, to ensure the sustainability of industry and the welfare state. The failure of the electric vehicle market (the closure of the Ford factory) is welcomed as a sign that misguided policies are fading away.
