The Lack of Data Problem

 Weeks ago, when all this heat-pump chatter started up within the German government....the odd thing that I noticed right away....they didn't seem to have any data/facts....to argue their case or set about regulations.  

You could see it in interviews with journalists.

This week...a draft law is being discussed where a massive amount of data will have to be collected.

The cost of collecting the data?  Well...it's on the back of the state to hand down the instructions....but it's the cities, home owners, and the energy companies stuck with collecting this info.

The term 'sovereign task' comes up in today's news....it's an obligation to report this in some format.

If you violated any part of the data collection?  Fine of 10,000 Euro is possible.

The odds of public resistance now?  I'd say more than half of the public will say that this whole thing goes overboard.  

The German government will be all over your heat use....condition of the home....windows...furnace type, etc.

All of this to harm the Green Party vote in state elections?  I'd suggest it's a pretty poor position to lead into.
