The leader of the Green Party in the Bundestag, Katharina Drögecalls for a comprehensive public transport in rural regions. “We would like to promise people: ‘Everywhere in Germany, no matter where you live, a bus should run at least once an hour during the week, and at least every two hours on the weekend,'” Dröge told the dpa news agency. Citizens should get to the nearest middle center, “where there is a doctor, pharmacy, supermarkets and, in the best case, a train connection,” she added.
In very small villages, this “mobility guarantee for rural areas” would work with shared taxis, said Dröge. She also demanded that the Germany ticket as it should cost 49 euros at the beginning, less in the long run. The price for the nationwide valid monthly ticket for local transport increases from 58 to 63 euros for the new year.
The Greens wanted to show that everyone could benefit from climate protection, said Dröge. “In a time of rising prices, we want to say to people: We are making life cheaper and the climate better.”
Dröge demands free solar power in the event of surpluses
The Green politician also spoke out in favor of making solar power available free of charge when there is a surplus at midday in spring and summer due to weather conditions. But significantly more smart meters would have to be installed for this, said Dröge. These are networked measuring devices for heat or electricity that automatically transmit consumption data to providers and also make it visible to users.
“Around 600 hours of solar power per year would be free,” explained Dröge. “We assume that this will be sustainable in the medium term because it will avoid costs associated with reducing the regulation of renewable energy systems.”
The Green Party wants to stick to the Building Energy Act
At the same time, it must Discussion about the Building Energy Act end, thus a target of 500,000 Heat pumps be achieved per year, demanded Dröge. “The law must remain, as must the funding rules, but with even more money for it in the federal budget.” The electricity tax must fall for everyone, not just for industry.
The Greens want to finance this by reducing environmentally harmful subsidies. “The government is subsidizing the airline industry, making an unfair reform of the commuter allowance and not acting on company car privileges. We want to change that.”
