The electricity prices, which are dramatically increasing as a result of the EEG as well as the CO2 certificate trade, will lead to the emigration of companies from the particularly affected industrial branches („de-industrialization“). Significant workplace losses will result, coupled with drastic reduction in government tax revenues.

EIKE supports all efforts to rationalize energy when it leads to a real reduction in overall costs.

EIKE does not see any dangers for the future energy supply of mankind due to a shortage of primary energy carriers, since fossil and nuclear energy resources, which are already known, will last for a reasonable period of time.

EIKE rejects energy policy measures that lead to inefficient, unreliable and environmentally incompatible energy supplies. Such a policy (EEG) is causing serious damage to economic development, while at the same time affecting citizens‘ living standards considerably.

EIKE therefore calls for:

Replacement of the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) without replacement.
Immediate cessation of trade in carbon dioxide emission allowances.
Completion of the attempts to press carbon dioxide into the ground with the costly and risky CCS process for the population.
Termination of nuclear energy discrimination
