So no one makes chemicals anymore? Of course they do, but like all industries they're subject to market and government forces and what made sense for an industry in one era does not mean that's true for all of eternity. No one ever said that a 1,000 generations of Dutch chemical engineers are entitled to chemical engineering jobs, let alone near their homes.
Lol, if you don’t understand we need jobs in Europe this debate has no point.
Wow…
> The European Union’s chemical sector is facing a series of headwinds that the European Chemical Industry Council, Cefic, says are pushing the industry to ‘breaking point.’
A joint study by Cefic and Advancy: The Competitiveness of the European Chemical Industry, paints a bleak picture, with the report saying that between 2023 and 2024 announcements were made indicating that 11 million tonnes of production capacity would be closed across 21 major European production sites
You act like this is the FIRST time an industry has died out in Europe or migrated elsewhere.
