LONDON (BLOOMBERG) - Europe's industrial heartland faces a potential exodus as manufacturers of German car parts, chemicals and steel struggle to absorb power prices that rocket to new highs almost every day. Power and gas prices in Germany more than doubled in just two months, with year-ahead electricity - a benchmark for the continent - soaring past €540 (S$755) per megawatt hour. Two years ago, it was €40. "Energy inflation is way more dramatic here than elsewhere," said Mr Ralf Stoffels, chief executive officer of BIW Isolierstoffe, a maker of silicone parts for the auto, aerospace and appliance industries.
