After more than ten years at Kretschmann, the south-west is far from where the Greens would like to be when it comes to expanding renewable energies.
Now the pace should be increased.
Stuttgart - Almost five months after the start of the green-black government in the southwest, the first major legislative project is due for the final vote in the state parliament today. It is the amendment to the Climate Protection Act. The most important innovation: Anyone who wants to build a new house must have a solar system installed on their roof from May 1st next year. In addition, from January 1, 2023, homeowners must have a photovoltaic system installed for a fundamental roof renovation. The opposition from the FDP and AfD criticized that the solar obligation is unsocial and will make building and living more expensive.
The coalition of the Greens and CDU has also anchored more ambitious goals to reduce climate-damaging greenhouse gases in law.
The country is to become climate neutral by 2040 - up to now 90 percent was the goal by 2050.
The state wants to be five years faster than the federal government and by then only emit as many greenhouse gases as can be bound again.
At a hearing in the state parliament, however, environmental experts doubted whether the planned measures would be sufficient to achieve this goal.

In addition to the second consultation of the new climate law, the FDP wants to discuss whether one has to draw conclusions after the fire in a Stuttgart bus depot and whether electromobility brings new challenges for fire protection and the fire service.
In addition, the SPD parliamentary group wants to re-examine what the formation of the government with the new building ministry and the four additional posts for state secretaries has now cost.
