Deutschland hat bei den Vereinten Nationen seinen Plan vorgelegt, wie bis 2045 der komplette Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Erdgas gelingen soll. "Die Abkehr von fossilen Energien verbindet Unabhängigkeit, Bezahlbarkeit und Klimaschutz miteinander", erklärte Umweltminister Carsten Schneider (SPD) in New York. "Unser Fahrplan soll international ein Zeichen setzen. Ich bin sicher, dass viele weitere Länder folgen werden." --- Kein anderes Land der Welt wird diesen Weg zur Deindustrialisierung mitgehen und wie will man das Ziel erreichen, indem der Liter Benzin mittels CO2-Steuer und sonstiger Abgaben 4 Euro kostet?
