Re: Pardon me sir.....
They are talking about implementing a carbon tax here. You would get a payout of 80€ a year, but petrol would get an additional 11c a litre tax, heating oil 10c and gas or heating 1c /KWh.
So the more you drive and the bigger / less efficient your cars engine, the more you will pay. Switch to an electric car or push bike or ebike and you will save money.
Only heat the house to 20°C in winter, instead of 25°C and you save money. Improve the insulation, you save money over time.
Before this was announced, my wife decided to sell her car and switch to an ebike for the 30KM ride to work each day. But that was as much for her own health as for saving the environment.
