The wrong approach taken by #KatharinaReiche and #FriedhelmMerz. Instead of lowering energy prices by expanding renewables (the cheapest source of energy), public money is being used to prop up the dying #oilandgas industry. They are wasting taxpayers’ money on new gas-fired power stations #CDU

Whilst only 26% of new cars in Germany between January and August were purely electric, the figure was around 40% in China, 81% in Denmark and 98% in Norway. And now billions more are being spent on a #fuel rebate. Why can’t we set a clear course for the #future in Germany too? #FriedhelmMerz #CDU
