Beginning 2027, EU citizens will see their everyday lives getting much more expensive and painful… thanks to an EU-wide climate tax: ETS-2.
Hans Labohm: “It is frightening that we are subjecting our economy to this madness.”
“Fuel prices and energy bills will rise, while our freedom of choice will be increasingly restricted,” reports German TKP blog here. All because European citizens will be paying additional European climate taxes soon.
And this is just the beginning says former MEP Rob Roos: ‘Now it’s about houses and cars. Later, this tax will be extended to foodstuffs such as dairy products and meat, clothing and flying. The CO2 budget could be the next step.”
Going green in Europe means going expensive – and unfree. The EU’s new climate tax, ETS-2, set to begin in 2027, will expand the existing ETS-1 system, which requires heavy industry and energy producers to buy CO2 certificates. Next, fuel and energy suppliers will have to purchase certificates for their customers’ emissions. The result? Higher prices for driving, heating, and electricity!
