Green Confusion in crisis
Green have loaded the workshop to discuss its economic policy agenda to speak. Just as President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 30 years the United States with his New Deal reforms from those of depression tore, is now a Green New Deal to combat crisis in Europe – and incidentally to save the climate and environment. What a debate should be revealed to the rather helpless attempt at a party in the current crisis interrogation sources.
It is not an easy time for the Greens. During the summer in Europe, in the autumn in Germany, and no one is talking more about the environment. The economic crisis dictates the topics, it is about money, jobs, industrial subsidies. The European car industry with billions of päppeln may save jobs and are therefore particularly popular – green politics is not.
And because of the traditionally more difficult relationship to eco-industry party to the voters trust you anyway little economic expertise. Brief: Greens threaten, in the public eye to set. “There is certainly a danger that the Greens under the wheels,” said party researcher Oskar Niedermayer of the Free University of Berlin with regard to two major elections of the year. “It will be difficult for them.”
The idea to help the economy by saving the climate, is not even wrong. Green market is already a billion dollar market. Alone in the wind and solar power industry worldwide work around two million people. Estimated that investment in environmentally friendly energy sources by 2020, about 1900 billion dollars reach. Furthermore, about 40 percent of energy consumed in the EU on account of buildings. An energy-efficient renovation could also until 2020 450.000 new jobs created – a gigantic program of economic construction, and a green to do so.
