Verfassungsgerichts-Urteil stellt Grundpfeiler der deutschen Klimapolitik infrage

Für die Koalition eine Blamage, für die Klimapolitik ein handfestes Problem: Durch das Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts fehlen der Bundesregierung 60 Milliarden Euro für die grüne Transformation: Zur Disposition stehen etwa Gelder für Heizungstausch, Elektromobilität, Chip-Subventionen, Bahn-Investitionen und Strompreisrabatte.

Constitutional Court questions cornerstone of German climate policy

An embarrassment for the German government, a serious problem for climate policy: The ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court means that the German government is short of 60 billion euros for the green transformation: The funds for heating replacement, electromobility, chip subsidies, rail investments and electricity price discounts are on the table.
