do you Remember the kolbiten? Spokesperson, Gustav Fridolin, waving excitedly with the valdebatterna in 2014, in order to show that the green Party certainly does not intend to allow the Waterfall to break the coal into Germany. However, when the state-owned energy giant, in the place, it sold its German mines, to a Czech company, was Fridolins agree, it is a perfect bildsättningen of the MP’s failure.
In August of this year, announced the klimatministern to the government at a very late stage, decided to take over the environmental assessment of the Senior to the expansion of the company’s refinery in Lysekil in sweden. This means that the government has the final say on the plans, which would make the plant the largest of the utsläpparen of carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden.
On Monday, gave the Land, and the supreme court’s green light for the expansion.
in The opinion of the Land and environmental court of appeal persuasive. The company’s refinery in Lysekil in sweden is in the EU’s trading in emission allowances, which primarily consists of heavy industry and large energy utilities. It is to be noted, quite rightly, that the intention is that member states should pursue the adoption of a national climate change policy in those sectors. To Sweden for some strange reason, decided to set up its own climate change targets for emissions are to be regulated by the EUROPEAN union does not change that.
When Sweden is starting to undermine the emissions trading scheme by means of national regulations increases the risk of a strong kolberoende countries such as Poland, acting in the same way.
in recent years, the complexity of the reform of the system, although it is not to say that more of the emissions in Sweden would automatically mean less air pollution from somewhere else. However, the fact remains that they have been more and more of the sectors in the emissions trading system than those outside, such as traffic.
The most surprising thing in all of this story is that it is the Greens who are leading the way for the renationalisation of climate policy. The Swedish proposal was of course the MP’s greatest environmental success in the last parliament. The strengthening of the EU emissions trading system – in which Isabella played a decisive role – is expected to reduce the emission of harmful climate gases by up to 50 times that of Sweden’s annual emissions.
finally, with the expansion plans of the Direction will be determined not only by the government. Ironically, we may have a situation where a Party, after the great pains to say ‘ yes ‘ to the construction of the building, however, in which the Preem, stop the expansion of a purely business basis.
the byggplanerna took the form of the price of an emission allowance, namely, between five and six euros per tonne of carbon dioxide. After the changes, which the green Party has been pushed to the back, the price had risen to almost 25 million. The sharp increase in learning, having already hit very hard to Our calculations.
It is a pity that the Greens do not dare to trust the power of their own reforms.
