It's great to know that Germany is making great strives to improve our Eco-system. Companies in Germany are generating their own electricity by using grids used to deliver electric power to power plants and business offices. Companies like Mercedes Benz Have used this method in the hopes of decreasing the electricity bills and to also help minimize the amount of pollution they have caused to the Environment. In this article , the German Government proposes a a new fee to companies that have transitioned to generating their own electricity. The main concern is the amount of money needed to transport equipment used for Germany's solar electricity projects all around the world. Sigmas Gabriel plants to charge companies and individuals who produce their own energy to pay a fee. The money they charge , will help to invest the renewables initiates plan. If the plan goes through, companies will have to pay the full 6.24 euro cent surcharge.
Ralph Schneider from Priosol Energy Investments did not find the governments idea to fees on generating ones own electricity surprising. More and more companies are turning to these efficient alternatives and thinks its best for the companies finance. I thought that Schneider's argument was interesting. Why is the government of Germany creating offshore wind farms and making large amount of investments in another country as oppose to their own country that is in fact paying for these investments. I agree with Schneider, if the government wants to improve their lifestyle by creating a mass product of clean electricity, why aren't they creating these wind farms in their own country. I also agree with the government to tax companies that are using renewable electricity but I think that the investments made offshore seems a little fishy. If their going to charge Te companies, the money must be put into good use. Or maybe, these investments take time to fully get the ball rolling a see some changes that not only benefits Germany but also the entire world.
