Current stats on German GDP, indebtedness, and industrial production seem fine, rather “meh”, but no impending disaster.

A problem with industrial fuel, if there really is one, is not going to do critical damage. Its just a minor cost (factor of production) in most industrial processes. Indeed, if it were critical the self imposed cost of electricity alone (which the Germans can only blame themselves for ) should have crippled Germany decades ago.

Contrariwise, having lots of cheap energy does very little (in re industrial capabilities) for most countries that have it. As in, for instance, Russia.

Hydrocarbons are more important there as chemical feedstocks.
