The Germans are furious at being forced to abandon gas for heat pumps

The Germans strongly criticize the government's plan to ban gas and oil boilers and replace them with heat pumps, arguing that it is too fast, too rigid and that it will cost a lot of money. Germany wants to go carbon neutral by 2045.

To that end, the government recently announced it would ban fossil fuel boilers, effectively forcing people to switch to heat pumps as the only green-enough option for those without access. to district heating. A big problem both for the cost and because there is no certainty that there will be an adequate supply of electricity.

The Council of Ministers of the Italian government is convened for today to examine the new decree with support for families and businesses against expensive bills.

The document made up of 22 articles in total provides for the confirmation of the 5% VAT cut on gas and the social bonus for bills for disadvantaged categories.

Among the other measures of the decree, rules on health and violence against health personnel, on the taxman for tax disputes, procurement code. There is also a ban on synthetic food.
