- Europeans are set to vote for a new parliament. Polls show that right wing parties could make significant gains. That could threaten policies introduced by the European Commission through its European Green Deal, holding back the bloc's green industrial transformation and jeaopardizing EU climate targets. But how?

Denmark has a strange new problem: Negative electricity prices. It happens when all the solar and windturbines produce too much electricity, so consumers get paid to use electricity. We have had 169 hours with negative prices in 2024 so far. Great for consumers, but not so great for continued investment...
Interestng. But what are the prices like compared to neighboring countries? Are you being charged for infrastructure over capacity?
Well, on the other hand, if you even it all out I bet it still is a cost. So you can see the times of negative prices more like an incentive to change consumer patterns to times when it match production. And this is no different to let's say Germany, where prices also vary much depending on the day but for other reasons as the normal cycle for consumption of electricity for example at night, winter etc.
@@gardencity3558 the price of the electricity itself is not that high. But the added tax and fees makes it one of the highest in the EU.
But wages are also high, so it is not really a problem. Companies gets a discount.
For national security, it's essential. Learning nothing from 2022 meets Einstein's definition of Insanity.
Lol its not great for consumers, since you are paying for the overcapacity in the fixed fees. Which will or will not result in negative energy pices, but investors win anyway.
What good is it when reduce your emissions by moving the plant to China and increasing their emissions
Europe will be less warm. All the CO2 will be in Chinese air instead. Zero-sum game
Your info's at least a decade out of date. Production is moving out of China especially since covid. China's is going gangbusters on the transition to electric. They do have a massive lead in battery production. And Europe's asleep while the US and China march on.
China has had huge renewable energy deployment and have consistently burned less and less coal each year. They are predicted to peak by 2025, the biggest producer doing more than the EU combined. Being petty and saying that when our emissions per capita are much higher is just naive
The carbon border should help with thar.
China is doing more for climate then Europe. It's building all the solar panels, batteries, electric cars etc. Not just for itself, but for export into the rest of the world. Europe can only be decarbonizing this rapidly because it's importing these cheap panels and batteries from China. Which is a geopolitical problem for Europe, as it's losing more and more of its industry, but clearly China is going to continue the energy transition no matter what. They are more invested into it than any other country in the world.
Soylent green is people!
Not reducing anything when you move the plant overseas
Yes the CBAM will have a global impact. If the right wing doesn't stop it. Even if they stop the CBAM, making industry (incl. agriculture) give up in EU because of greenhouse gas taxes will help reducing emissions in general.
Atmospheric river floods & Sanctions in EU is a new phase on EU-CIS struggle.
😢
DW deletes my comments. Does this happen to others?
yup. All the time. And it seems completely random which comments get deleted.
A while ago the comment section was completely filled with pro-China comments and my pro-western comment was deleted. So, I think the DW comment section is (or was) hacked.
my aswer to you got deleted just now
I'm fairly sure it's not DW...
RUclips's comment system is for quite a while now somewhere between censorship and programmer incompetence.
Very hard for Europe to do much, because we're producing too much hot air lately.
Hmm.. well, the present green deal has some problems, like for example where are all the materials going to come from?.. Presently it's just assumed that they are ( magically?) going to turn up on the market.. None of the politicians ever bothered to find out if that was eaven possible..🧐
What materials are you worried about? Prices on lithium batteries are falling, and now sodium batteries are produced.
Veto
As if we were going to achieve this target anyway
THE GREEN ECONOMY made Europe more powerful, more independent, more modern.
Renewable bring less imports of oil & gas from Russia, Arab countries, USA, Norway and so, more money remain in the pockets of European citizens.
❤
what the price of fire wood in germany?
you do realise that its not unindustrialised russia so people dont use wood for their homes?
@@TheGrace020 hahhahaha oh no?
EU is cringe
Russian bots are cringe
hello comrade ivan botninski
Blabla...Making war ist verry green!😅
Isn't it a good thing EU's not making war then?
To combat climate change US EU and China has to cooperate. Which is impossible in the current cold war environment. To preserve Ukranie Europe needs to ramp up production, which is impossible with all the carbon taxes in place. So yes EU policies are contradicting to eachother, and we have to choose our priorities. BTW Inflation Reduction Act is the very same thing what China does when it subsidize their production, so we either forget about these tradewars, or start a majorone against the US, because they are stealing our industry.
EU needs increased protectionism, against both China and the US.
Did anyone think that the stacks of papers on the green transition, which Ursula von der Leyen was happily publishing, would serve anything other than to justify the existence of politicians?🤣😂🤣
ursula should be in prison
The money spent on green nonsense are badly missed at development nuclear sources which frankly is the only realistic alternative , China is building Thorium reactor so in 2050 they will enjoy BYD SUV and we shall happily zip around on electric scooters shared by all family .
Why are Euros so limpwristed?
This madness hopefully will stop after the coming election.
Who knows, not going to vote. EU elections are pretty much unknown to almost everyone and very, very few vote. I sure as heck don't have time or the interest.
We need to do something or else we risk our livelihoods and the environment
I think there is dangerous complacency as well as green transformation today is sometimes more hope and cope than tenable goals and solutions
Don't vote green party.
There is no climate crisis.
It's a Money making scam. Keep fleecing ordinary people. Planet earth goes through phases of bad weather. It's normal.
Of course! Because real tax laws are the problem.
Green technology is not advanced enough to serve as a primary source of industrialization and be the primary source of energy. Right now the most advanced and cleanest energy we have is Nuclear energy. This green transition is being rushed despite proving to be inefficient. Barclays investment bank say green transition will cost between $50 trillion to $100 trillion. Now how are developing countries supposed to afford that??? Or will the west once again use taxpayer money to solve other people's problems??? Anyways, for every paper straw, solar panel and EV you produce to cut your emissions China builds a new coal power plant😂. It's like carrying water with a leaky bucket. You can reduce your emissions meanwhile Taylor swift took 170 flights equaling to 286 463 km & emitting 1200 tons of carbon in 2023 alone. She emitted more carbon in 2023 than the average American will for 80 years of their life. But Green cult1$t aren't ready for the truth.
This implies that the continual release of greenhouse gases can continue unabated without causing far more damage and deaths. This is not true. The fear of climate change isn't just stronger weather patterns, it is wholesale destruction of the ecosystems we depend on to eat and live. The idea that "cost" comes into the equation of saving our planet from runaway warming or just the catastrophic warming we are already committed to, is juvenile short-sightedness of such a staggering level that I don't actually believe that you believe it. Change or die, that is our only option with climate change
Yeah, on the other hand it also costs to do nothing.
Catalan, ever more damaging wildfires in our region has caused our home and businesses insurance costs to quadruple and electricity and car insurance costs to double. Our region relies on tourism, logging and agriculture, all of which have been harmed by fire and smoke. Hundreds of neighbors have lost homes. Ignoring the climate crisis will have a far greater cost than facing it.
@@freeheeler09
I sympathize with the losses around you, but your outlook is simply ridiculous and definitely baseless.
Anthropogenic CO2/induced CC, has gone from being one of the contributing factors to " it's flooding, forest is on fire - humans caused it, period ! ".
It's as if the biosphere was an inert ball with zero activity before humans came in.
How successful do you think such narrative setting is gonna work out ?
Who payed that comment? LOL
To me it looks like the world is largely giving up, and preparing for what essentially will be a climate war as habitable land and usable water decreases. Everyone's digging deep into the power of oil and gas to wage it.
Earth moved it's axis before with very quick climate change. No humans here then. If it does that again we can't do anything about it. The climate will change. What we should be doing is taking better care of our own backyard. Importing energy and food from other countries will not help you with your floods. Building on proper land will.
Climate change in itself may not be unusual. The problem is that the current rate of change caused by the re-introduction of CO2 into the atmosphere is much faster than the ecosystem can cope. And when the environment changes faster than life can adapt to it, you get mass extinction.
Might as well resign ourselves to our fate at this point.
No one is going to do anything to try and change things. Even those who do want something to be done, want it done somewhere else.
No. A few more years of expensive climate crises will spur countries to move away from fossil fuels. It is inevitable.
Apathy is the last bastion of the fossil fuel lobby. Vote green, and encourage others to vote green too. Change is possible!
@@zen1647 yeah, I've done all that for years. No one really cares. Not enough to actually change anything anyway.
It was pile of nonsense ,the faster they scrap it the better .
EU can scrape the plan but Germany will continue
Hate to brake it to you all in case for those that haven yet figured out the abvious plans ... the last think eu and other nations care is about invironmemt, much less for an average human being ...its abpjt mpney ... if they would truly support what they say, tehere would not be an energy crisis...
Green Industry means using clean energy. Clean energy sources are: Solar, hydro and wind. These are in abandoned and always present in the global south particularly Africa, Asia and Central and South America. Thanks to China, these technologies are reaching there and will be the most lucrative long term investment for China. Each and every home will need especially Solar panels. Solar panels will be the main source of energy for electric cars produced by China.
Sounds like a fantasy.
Yeah, China has been investing heavily and has cornered most of the lithium supply. The US used their inflation reduction act to bring back jobs to the US. The EU is falling back into Putin's cash trap like it's 1999.
just for Uncle Sam's ambition, billions of Europeans need to give up their clean environments.

@indigo098765At least they're not to blame for climate change by being against nuclear energy
