German Economy Minister Robert Habik made a campaign to support more climate -friendly techniques.
“Saying that the whole thing is just environmental things or climate protection measures only offends the judgment on the economic debate we are. . ”
Habik pointed to the American inflation law, noting that the United States is seeking to invest tens of billions of dollars in climate protection over the next ten years, for example promoting solar cell manufacturing and wind turbine.
And that there is fear that European and German companies move to the United States or to open new factories there.
“The future will decide who will build faster and who will provide the best way to innovate and perform in the field of green economy,” said Habik.
He added that the size of the so -called climate and transformation fund in Germany amounted to about 200 billion euros, noting that this is “quite similar” to the plans of the United States of America.
Habik explained that the fund, within its duties, should enhance renewable energies, hydrogen and appropriate batteries and move electric vehicles.
“The task is to be faster and more decisive when planning spending and competition law within Europe,” Habik said.
The competition law places restrictions on providing government subsidies..
