That's the point. It makes the green alternatives relatively cheaper. Or if not. The tax helps pay for the negative externalities.

Or the “green alternatives” will become more expensive, because why the hell not? If your competitors just raised prices it makes it easier for you to do the same, without consequences.

  They may, or they may choose higher volumes for the same price. There are always consequences.

Sure, right. Like heat pumps in Germany. Every time there's Forderung available, prices skyrocket.

  It's Förderung, not Forderung. Two totally different words. Forderung: demand, requirement Förderung: financial support (what you mean) I guess the price spikes happen because demand spikes in these situations..

    > It's Förderung, not Forderung. Two totally different words. You have umlauts on your keyboard, yay! Vielen Dank und viele Grüße. > I guess the price spikes happen because demand spikes in these situations.. Seems like a lot of people, and the government, guess like you. Everyone's kinda bummed in Germany that Förderung becomes available, resellers jack prices up, Förderung ends up in the pocket of the reseller. Typical money grab. Viel Öko. As the gov is already regulating the market, they can opt to regulate the price cap for something they fund anyway. No? Same with solar panels. I mean, it's not like the government has their own money. People of Germany fund Förderung. So people fund it in taxes so they can get in Förderung so that a group of people gets rich on the wave of the Förderung. It would be okay if people weren't forced into this technology. Oh, what would one give to be on the drawing board of the Klimawandel and have the first hand knowledge of what people are going to be strong-armed into. Sounds like a perfect condition to put oneself in a position to greatly benefit out of it.
