Scholz: Germany can overcome energy crisis

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has the strength to get through the energy crisis it faces going into the autumn and winter and the government will help ensure people are not overwhelmed by soaring energy bills, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday.

"Our country has the strength to rise above itself in times of need," Scholz said at an awards ceremony in Berlin. "We will also show that in autumn and winter."
