Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann can, according to his own words, get over the end of a general speed limit on motorways when sounding out traffic lights.
"It was not enforceable," said the Green politician on Tuesday in Stuttgart.
He had expected that beforehand.
Stuttgart - The speed limit is not decisive for climate protection and the energy transition.
"The speed limit is of lesser importance for climate protection," said Kretschmann.
A coal-fired power plant emits as much climate-damaging carbon dioxide as 13.5 million vehicles in road traffic.

Berlin CDU calls for a policy change from the SPD
CDU General Secretary Stefan Evers has called on the SPD to change policy in Berlin.
For the CDU, it is important that the SPD follow the words in the election campaign with deeds, he said on Monday morning on the RBB information radio before the SPD's exploratory talks with his party.
A new start for the city will not be feasible with a continuation of the previous coalition of the SPD, the Greens and the Left.

Since there is still resistance to the speed limit in politics, he no longer wants to devote himself to it.
"I'm not the biggest supporter of symbolism now." It is more important to make decisive progress on climate protection.
In the coalition negotiations with the SPD and FDP it is now a matter of "reaching compromises where everyone keeps their brand essence".
That succeeded in the explorations.
“Of course you also have to let go of something,” said Kretschmann.
The FDP had prevented a general speed limit of 130 kilometers per hour on motorways.
