You are right.

Sure, but why would you built a nuclear power plant, when you are faster in having a clean grid with wind and solar. The workers building the npp could built more wind and solar after all.

Azerbaijan has a train line to Turkey via Georgia. Obviously ethical is a problem, but it is certainly possible in a relatively save fashion, if you have a good passport.

Because solar and wind can be deployed much faster. You rather easily have a decade of extra coal or gas emissions, if you built nuclear today.

And EVs are still better then combustion engines. Even better the EU is not going to be able to match Chinese subsidies. So the EU car industry is going to die and replaced by Chinese cars. However those will have a much harder time lobbying for car focused infrastructure. Just compare Germany and the Netherlands for example. One has a massive car industry and the other does not.

Most cars sold in the EU are still combustion engines. Replacing them with EVs would make enviromental sense and China giving state money to make EU EVs cheaper is not that bad a move.

Problem is obviously that the EUs automotive industry has to compete, but that can be done by matching subsidies as well.

The 2007-2009 recession was 4.3% in the US and that did not really hurt the US so badly as to destroy the country. But yes it is supposed to.

Was glaubst du den warum Scholz so verschrien wird. Er hat sich sehr für eine globale Mindeststeuer für Unternehmen eingesetzt und da tatsächlich was erreicht. Er fordert mit der SPD auch seit Jahren, dass wiedereinsetzen der Vermögenssteuer. Deshalb hat BILD ja auch so für die FDP geworben.

Das lässt sich lösen. Stiftungen müssen immer gemeinützig sein und Firmen dürfen keine Firmen besitzen.

Great news! It is clearly catching on in the states as well.

That is quite simply a lie. There are plenty of studies, that even just introducing a speed limit on the autobahn would have been enough. There are other nearly free options as well, like allowing municipalities to implement anti car urban planing more easily.

The problem is that the ministry for transport is moving billions from the railways to car infrastructure, while delaying the switch to EVs as much as possible.

The law, which has been weakend by the current government, was made due to the constitutional court ordering the government to strengthen its climate commitments. So this one has a decent chance of working.
