Environment Minister wants to capture the exit from fossil heating
The Union and SPD have agreed in their coalition agreement: The heating law should be abolished. Environment Minister Carsten Schneider now strikes other tones.
Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD), despite the stipulations in the coalition agreement, wants to continue the exit from fossil heating. “Nothing changes at the switch to clean heaters, not even to saying goodbye to fossil heating, “. “But we have to support people. And the most who can afford it the least.”
In the coalition agreement, the Union and the SPD agreed that they wanted to “abolish the heating law”. That blade resolutely, said the SPD politician. “But that won’t be a role in the matter.” At best, it is about changes in detail.
To put on combustion engines is “absurd”
The farewell to the internal combustion engine will no longer be stopped. This has long been decided, “and not just from politics, but above all from the world market,” said Schneider. “However, the German manufacturers overslept the development.” It was “absurd” to put it back on combustion engines.
According to EU requirements, only cars may be re-approved from 2035 that do not emit a CO2-that is the factual combustion engine. This means that the German industry still has ten years to catch up. “And I trust her,” said Schneider.
“Bans are paralyzed,” said the President of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), Hildegard Müller, only the newspapers of the Funke media group last week. “People are then not convinced by the great innovations, but feel forced to change,” she warned.
