According to Hebeck, Germany should not become Russia’s target
Our correspondents report live on the current situation.
According to Economic Minister Hebek, the federal government is currently considering “carefully preventing major catastrophes.” Hebeck announced the “Easter package” to go to the cabinet next week. It includes several legal changes for the expansion of renewable energies.
WEconomy Minister Robert Hebek rejects Ukraine’s demands for further support in the fight against Russia. “In everything we do, we are very careful not to take any wrong steps that could turn Germany into a target for Russia,” the vice-chancellor of the Rhine Post said in an initial statement.
This is difficult for Ukraine to understand. “But there is nothing morally flawed in politics. But the focus is always on preventing major evils. All political activities are derived from this.
Hebeck also wants to receive a large set of laws to expand renewable capabilities in the coming week. “With the Easter package going to the cabinet next week, there will be a number of legislative changes,” he told the newspaper. The last ballot was still running, but he firmly believed that “everyone in the federal government will go with it.”
It’s about a “huge collection of renewables” that will “really help achieve freedom and energy security,” Hebek said. This includes a visionary amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). This will create incentives to generate renewable electricity that can be used by local people on the site – “own electricity from rooftop solar systems, rental electric models, citizen windmills”.
Corners for environmentally friendly expansion of wind energy
“The amendment should also ensure that municipalities can participate directly in existing wind farms, which also creates an economic benefit, especially for rural areas.
Hebek hoped that in the future the federal states would no longer be able to decorate themselves by “blocking wind power”. “The availability of renewable energy is increasingly becoming a location factor, and it will happen again in other places. The energy ministers of the central states know that,” he said.
On Monday, Hebek and Environment Minister Steffi Lemke (Greens) want to present key points for the natural expansion of wind energy. “It will accelerate the expansion, the acquisition of new areas and at the same time restrict the protection of organisms on a completely new basis,” Hebeck declared. “It will resolve a lot of conflicts.” The draft law is expected to be passed by the Cabinet in May.
