Alan CrossHOST
Now let's turn our attention to July twenty-fourth, twenty ten.
Alan CrossHOST
The German city of Duisburg was the site of the annual Free Love Parade electronic dance music festival.
Alan CrossHOST
This was a very popular event, drawing enormous crowds from across Europe.
Alan CrossHOST
For the first nine years, it was held in Berlin before moving to Sydney, Australia, back to Berlin, then to Buenos Aires, and then after two thousand, the Love Parade touched down in Mexico City, San Francisco, Santiago, Caracas, Rotterdam, and a few other cities in Germany.
Alan CrossHOST
Previous years had seen up to a million participants over the length of the event.
Alan CrossHOST
Twenty ten was the first time Duisburg had acted as host.
Alan CrossHOST
Estimates were for one point four million attendees that year, almost three times the entire population of the city.
Alan CrossHOST
The outdoor festival site was a former freight station, which was different.
Tammy NemethHOST
Because if it were, you wouldn't be shutting down a steel...
Tammy NemethHOST
AsselorMittal just announced yesterday that they're shutting down this steel manufacturing plant in Duisburg, Germany, that they've done a little bit of electric arc furnaces in France instead because they signed this 20-year deal with EDF for cheap nuclear energy in order to have their electric arc furnace.
Tammy NemethHOST
But they also then... they're increasing by 50 percent their steel manufacturing plant in china so it's like if you were serious you wouldn't be having the all of these restrictions on developing your steel you wouldn't have these high energy taxes you wouldn't be doing all these different things that basically cripple your ability to build up your defense machinery and i love the example of explosives Or even jet fuel.
Tammy NemethHOST
How are you going to fight any of this stuff? Everyone's like, oh, well, they'll just use drones.
Charlie DaviesHOST
Uh, you know, their team is, is winning.
Charlie DaviesHOST
I mean, the last three matches, uh, in all competitions, they won against Duisburg, uh, he played 90 minutes, then they beat Leverkusen, he scored a goal, played 65.
Charlie DaviesHOST
Played 64 against Monchengladbach, they won 4-3.
Charlie DaviesHOST
So for me, that's an, that warrants a call-up.
Ben CoatesGUEST
That if you wanted power for your new town or your new factory, you could build a, a hydro plant or a nuclear power plant next to the river.
Ben CoatesGUEST
And now suddenly all those assumptions have been thrown up in the air, and people are thinking quite sort of suddenly and quite seriously, how does a town like Düsseldorf or Duisburg thrive if it can't export things by sea anymore, and if it can't bring in its supplies by river anymore? Um, and all this, of course, it doesn't help that it comes at the same time as a kind of broader strategic crisis, um, facing Germany in particular.
Ben CoatesGUEST
The German economy is really not in good shape at the moment.
Ben CoatesGUEST
It's trying to pivot away from reliance on, uh, Russia in terms of energy and the US in terms of, um, military support, um, trying to deal with the rising competition from China and really sort of struggling with anemic growth and, um, low growth of its high-tech industry in, in particular.
Ben CoatesGUEST
Um, I think people have always assumed or kind of built this whole economic and political system on the assumption that you would just be able to export goods by river easily and cheaply if you're in Germany, that you could bring in supplies quite easily, that you'd have pretty much unlimited free fresh water if you wanted to open a factory or a chemical plant that needed water, that if you wanted power for your new town or your new factory, you could build a, a hydro plant or a nuclear power plant next to the river.
Ben CoatesGUEST
And now suddenly all those assumptions have been thrown up in the air and people are thinking quite sort of suddenly and quite seriously, how does a town like Düsseldorf or Duisburg thrive if it can't export things by sea anymore and if it can't bring in its supplies by river anymore? Um, and all this, of course, it doesn't help that it comes at the same time as a kind of broader strategic crisis, um, both in Germany in particular.
