A good example of how the proposals are not rocking the boat is the ban of selling new petrol and diesel powered cars cars by 2050, but building new fossil fueled power plants is perfectly acceptable and part of the plan going forward. Changing what kind of car people can buy new from the factory in 20 years is not going to cause too much problem for an industry that is already switching production towards electric cars, but fossil fuels are way too cheap as an reserve energy to be cut from the energy grid. The biggest news is the carbon tariffs, through I notice how they avoid calling it that. I suspect that the US trade war has enabled taxing imports an political tool, and as such it is being tested here in order to serve several purposes. I doubt however that it will be used consistently within the EU, like when countries import and export energy produced by fossil fuels.
