Warning environmentalists: traffic lights endanger the climate and nature

The looks are directed towards Berlin, where a crucial moment for climate policy is due today! The Bundestag discusses the controversial amendment to the carbon dioxide storage and transport law (KSPTG). But the alarm bells ring with the environmentalists!

Olaf Bandt, the chairman of the BUND for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND), exploits violent criticism of the plans of the traffic light coalition. "We decidedly reject these dangerous plans!" Said Bandt. According to the new design, which provides for a comprehensive CO2 pipeline network and repository in the North Sea, people's health and the environment are at risk. By the way: it's about tax money in the billions of bills that are to be output for these questionable projects!

opponents of the CCS whipping alarm

The federal-alliance is not alone! Supported by prominent organizations such as Greenpeace, WWF, Germanwatch and German Environmental Aid, a broad alliance for more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions is strong. "Instead of maneuvering us in fossil sackgasses, we urgently need real emission reductions through an exit from coal, oil and gas!", Requests with emphasis.

The supporters of the CCS system-the deposition and storage of CO2-claim that this is a necessary step to reduce greenhouse gases. But the environmentalists warn of the catastrophic consequences. "We have functioning alternatives such as the expansion of renewable energies and a real circular economy!", Bandt clarifies and calls for a radical change of course in energy policy.

Today it's going to be done!

The design was never without controversy! When he comes to the first reading in the Bundestag today, the pressure on the decision -makers is enormous. "It is time for us to rely on the protection of our nature and our fellow human beings instead of dangerous pseudol solutions!" Bandt calls. The future of climate policy is now hanging on the silk thread!
