EU carbon tax on heating and transport

euractiv

EU legislators agreed early on Sunday (18 December) to introduce a carbon price on buildings and road transport fuels, with a new €87-billion social climate fund established in parallel to cushion the impact on households and help them invest in green solutions.

The new carbon price will apply to petrol, diesel and heating fuels such as natural gas whose climate warming emissions have continued to rise over the years despite attempts to decarbonise.

This was arguably the most controversial issue in the negotiation to reform the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), the biggest carbon market in the world and the bloc’s flagship climate policy instrument.

“The biggest challenge was ETS2,” said Peter Liese, a German lawmaker who represented the European Parliament in the two-day negotiation which started on Friday and concluded on Sunday morning (18 December).

Following marathon talks, negotiators agreed to start pricing the carbon emissions stemming from burning fossil fuels in road transport and heating in 2027, with a price ceiling of €45 per tonne of carbon emitted that will apply until 2030.

When people struggling to make ends meet, what in the heck is the point of this or is it the final cash grab before the great reset?

For us in the states if you go so, thats europe its their problem if it goes into effect there we will get hit with it here.

Remember Kerry thinks the US should pay "reparations" for the use of fossil fuels.

Even a Greece MP said this will probably cause a continent wife civil unrest similar to the yellow vests in france a few years back.

I suspect “The Great Reset” will be complete when the following objectives are completed:

- Russia is bled dry, and possibly undergoes massive internal change away from their nationalistic, militaristic ways to something that more closely resembles a NATO country.

- China is knocked back to being materially behind the US economically.

- we “cure” COVID.

That translates to:
- materially reduced threat of global destruction.
- decades of renewed economic dominance.
- the US is once again the hero - we cured the virus.

Once those goals are achieved, green energy will be easily proliferated. This is just the hard part right now.

LMAO

Thanks for the joke. It really is funny.

If you want the cure, ask Fauci, he helped creating it.

With all that carbon weighing so much, why does it keep floating in the air ? 😀

Yellowvests are still active, protesting cost of living issues as well as increased fuel taxes. Still being maimed and criminalised for standing up to autocratic government.

Greece, awhile back, being forced to accept massive debt and change how their social welfare system worked or risk expulsion from EU.

Current landgrabs ongoing in Netherlands

And still UK MSM idiots trying to tell us how our cost of living crisis caused by Brexit!

Ummm...what the hell are you smoking...?

The good ole USofA and Europe are the ones bleeding...and dying...

The only guarantee is having shifted Russia's economy and trade...eastward...all while Europe pays for Russian commodities in rubles...

Non-energy exports from Russia to Europe increased 50% this past year...despite the sanctions fetish...

Russian State banks are bypassing SWIFT and establishing trade with mid and eastern countries in their own currencies...the day of the dollar as the world reserve currency is dying...get used to that fact...

Your thread on the Arctic is a load of hot disinformation posing as relevancy and hence not worth the time it took to read...

Thanks for wasting those precious minutes it took to read and dismiss your opinion...
