“The Renewable Energy Act has to go”
WirtschaftsWoche
The Renewable Energy Act (EEG) should be ditched and replaced by a carbon tax, writes Dieter Dürand in an opinion piece in WirtschaftsWoche. “It is time for a clear cut: get rid of the EEG. In its place could be a simple tax on CO2,” writes Dürand. “This would reward investments in climate friendly and energy-efficient facilities but leave which technologies prevail to the market.”
