1. BILD has a story this AM over the Economics/Environmental Minister (Habeck, Green Party).....that he is going to push an agenda to limit oil/natural gas heat.
The basic wording? From 2024 on....if you were installing a new heating system into your home.....at least 65-percent of the energy has to be 'renewable'. Heating systems from the old era (now) would have a 30-year period to operate, before being forced into this situation.
Shocking some folks? Well...we are two months into 2023, so this would come up real quick....if it was passed.
My gut feeling....selling this to the rest of the coalition will be difficult. The reason driving this? I suspect if you dig into it.....there's just not enough natural gas around since the war crisis started up....to depend on it as a source.
2. Episode with Last Generation activists blocking traffic in Potsdam yesterday. In the midst of this....fire occurred and emergency vehicles needed access....and were unable to get the 'concreted' activists loose from the road.
Police were later fairly critical of the activist and the hindering of emergency vehicles. I would imagine each person has a summons to a court episode, and in this situation....they might be spending a fair amount of time in jail.
3. I watched a early AM piece off N-TV this morning....concerning the town of Greifswald (up along the northeastern coast of Germany, with 60,000 in population). Town has 'orders' from the state to accept some refugees.
Mayor didn't want to use the local school gymnasium. Was going along with a plan to contract out containers for temp-housing.
It appears that a fair number of town residents are negative about the container-suburb being designed. It's reached a point now where he (the mayor) requires police protection.
