IDK, this chart looks like a lot of German regions are pretty innovative: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/policy/innovation/regio...
Also, Germany pushing for a worldwide carbon tax? That's neat, but I doubt it would cause more than a yawn in Washington, Beijing, or Delhi.

I don't know why you're under the impression technological backwardness has anything to do with abandoning cash. There's a lot of things to critizise the german government for - 16k broadband lines for newly built industrial parks anyone? - but not replacing cash is certainly not it.

Von der Leyen is pushing CO2 tariffs on the EU level to force CO2 taxes world wide.

> closing nuclear power plants
Making electricity more expensive, leading to A/C being expensive, leading to beer being sold unrefrigerated, leading to a general cognitive decline.
Butterfly effect :D
For example: http://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/17307.jpeg
Also, they've made some seemingly stupid decisions such as closing nuclear power plants. And I'm not a fan of their climate change policy, they should push for a worldwide carbon tax instead of forcing EVs.
