Fantastic! Even less money in your pocketDo you know this feeling too? Once again you’re asking yourself whether you should buy a new Porsche. After all, you already have three, plus the Ferrari and the Bentley. And then every two months the tough decision: Which vacation destination and which 5-star hotel will it be this time? 
But luckily these worries will soon be a thing of the past. The EU Commission – that unelected “Council of the All-Knowing” in Brussels – has once again come up with something fantastic: By 2040, net greenhouse-gas emissions are to be cut by 90% compared to 1990. By 2050, even 100%. Hooray! Who needs prosperity when you can have clear, legally binding targets? And no, this isn’t just about electricity. Electricity is already 60% “green” – which, according to official figures in Germany, has cost a ridiculous €500 billion to €1 trillion. Just 60% electricity! Electricity makes up only about 20% of total energy demand. Do the math for what that means for the other 80–90% of energy demand – spoiler: somewhere between €4.5 and €9 trillion for Germany alone if Germany wants to reach the 90% net-emissions-reduction target. Yes, you read that right: Every German citizen would, on paper, have to contribute between €55,000 and €110,000 just to keep our government happy. A family of four is therefore easily in for €400,000. And if Grandma and Grandpa are already retired, Mom and Dad get to earn their share too. Add the share for those in public service or receiving other benefits. That would buy quite a few fully loaded Porsches. It’s so wonderful when you can plan, right? But don’t worry: the wise leaders in Brussels know what’s good for us. Prosperity? Overrated. Money in your pocket? Oh, what for! What now? You’re not one of the Porsche drivers? No problem. Energy will soon be a luxury good that only a few can still afford. While in other parts of the world energy demand continues to rise massively – globally it’s growing by about 2% per year and fossil power plants are being built at a brisk pace, e.g. China alone began construction of 95 GW of new coal power plants in 2024 – because there’s no CO₂ panic declared there, we in the EU are opting for the opposite: everything more expensive, everything more complicated, everything regulated. Bravo, Europe! The EU calls this “pragmatic and flexible.” We call it: an invitation to private insolvency. There are a few little tricks like international credits or flexibilities between sectors to somehow reach the target – but in the end the citizen is the sucker who pays the bill. Investments in innovation, clean technologies, decarbonization – all well and good for the corporate bosses who now know exactly where to park their money. For the average citizen it means above all one thing: even less money in your pocket, rising energy costs, and the feeling of being patronized by a distant office in Brussels that tells us all how we are supposed to live. While the rest of the world is still busily building coal power plants and using cheap energy for growth and prosperity, we in Germany and Europe are paying the luxury bill of the future. Finally that feeling of being rich again… just not in your wallet. Analysis of the press release and the quotes
