Germany Hikes CO2 Tax As Pandemic Destroys Industries, Jobs

angela merkelGermany’s Bundestag moves to enact a higher CO2 tax 

The “Corona pandemic,” despite the ever-falling death rate, has given governments cover to enact draconian regulation and lockdowns, thus allowing their even wildest power wet dreams to turn into reality.

Just a year ago much of what we are seeing today was considered unimaginable. Yet, here we are.

Never before have modern “democratic” governments enacted such extreme lockdowns and government intrusion measures as those we have seen in the current “Corona crisis.”

And like real junkies, they need more.

There are other government crackdown opportunities left out there, among them the “climate crisis” – the Big Kahuna when it comes to government regulation, takeover, and control.

It’s not for nothing they’ve frittered away hundreds of billions propping up this fake crisis.

Germany is already seizing the opportunity, having pledged to ban internal combustion engines soon, modify human eating habits, and restricting a host of other amenities we once took for granted.

Soon these amenities will be redefined as privileges, and they will be easily available only to the wealthy and elite.

The latest is energy and heat.

Higher CO2 tax decided

The German media, e.g. NTV public broadcasting, have reported that the Bundestag has just decided on a higher CO2 tax beginning next year, January 1st.

“It is intended to make fossil fuels less attractive. This means that fuel, heating oil, and gas, among other things, will cost more,” reports German public broadcaster NTV.

“The CO2 price will be 25 euro per ton from the new year on. The levy acts like a tax and is to climb gradually to 55 euros by 2025.”

That also means higher gasoline and diesel fuel prices, which will make transportation more expensive.

Already German electricity is the most expensive in Europe.

But not to worry: Industries with particularly high-energy requirements that are also in the global competition will be relieved of the costs.

And the rich and elites will also keep their cushy red carpet lives – so that they can continue effectively doing their important work – while the rest of us are forced to move out into the cold mud.

In the end, it’ll be lower-income workers and households left struggling with the higher prices for everything. Even heat will become a luxury.

And so continues the cycle of political demise 

And once governments get total control and surveillance over citizens across the world, they’ll try to tell us all just how much better things have become as a result, like the old communists used to do with their state-controlled media. Of course, life, in reality, will become much worse but we’ll be asked to pretend that it isn’t.

We all know what follows next: Revolution.

    CO2 is not a pollutant: it’s plant food, the basis of life on Earth.
    Ponder that.
    Oil is not a fossil fuel: it’s constantly produced in Earth’s mantle, under heat & pressure.
    Ponder that.

    We have only 30 minutes until start of the new industrial revolution in the world (the time required to prove the correctness of the new method of producing clean energy based on a new scientific formula in physics)!
    This new scientific formula will prove that so far more than half of the world economy and wealth was spent on their construction could be for purpose of peace and environmental protection ; plus lead to shutting down all fossil and nuclear power plants in the world.
    Scientists around the world can expect good news from the German Patent Office!

    This new scientific formula will prove that so far more than half of the world economy and wealth was spent on their construction could be for purpose of peace and environmental protection ; plus lead to shutting down all fossil and nuclear power plants in the world.
    Fortunately, an appropriate answer to the most difficult question in global hydroelectric knowledge has been discovered. This scientific answer actually means discovering a new source of clean energy for the world. Another implication of this vital discovery for the people of the world is that soon all our beliefs about the energy of the world will change. This answer is actually a new method of generating energy using a new scientific formula in physics.
    How can we obtaining clean energy in a best way from the potential of water static head in dams and seas that it is very different from with the past methods?
    Scientists around the world can expect good news from the German Patent Office!
    (Ee>Ep+E1at) = (E>P+1at)
    Ee= High pressure clean energy that is produced by the water power plants in the depth of water via released fixed potential energy of water natural pressure (More than ten meters of water) with new method (Immersion turbines of series and parallel in zero point of opposite forces).
    Ep= Released fixed potential energy of water natural pressure in water depth (More than ten meters of water).
    E1at= Amount of energy that is consumed at a small pump of one atmosphere power is the ability (In the same place of the water power plant in water depth).
    With this new discovery, I think climate change will stop.

      Are you dumb or what???? CLIMATE CHANGE WILL NEVER STOP!
      humans CANNOT control the climate! Well, democrats told you they can if you agree to donate half of your paycheck to them.
      We can adjust to the climate, we always do.
      Nowadays climate is an ANOMALY!
      Out of the last 550 million years, the earth has had permanent ice caps on one or both poles only nine percent of the time!

    Arm yourselves for protection from oppressive elites and dangerous Liberal / Democrat Governments. Our Canadian economy is on the brink of collapse. Europeans have to get a wood stove, chainsaw and an axe. Don’t concern yourselves with the highly polluting wood smoke, unburned hydrocarbons and creosote as long as you can reduce the power bill.

    Fools!! You need to also tax water vapor! That is another very prominent greenhouse gas. That is the real opportunity to clamp down control of absolutely every aspect of the economy. CO2 tax is just early Nazi level oppression.
