As discussed previously in the case of Denmark Dion and The Climateers AKA the Liberal Party of Canada have been criss-crossing the country telling people to be more like the European countries that have switched to green taxation policies. One country routinely mentioned is Germany, well I was surfing across the news sites and I found this.
EU's CO2 plans a cost disaster: German industry
Here are my Favourite quotes from the article...
"The EU plans in their current shape will not lead to any more CO2 emissions savings, as those are capped, but bring sky-high new carbon taxes,"
"On top of that, there will be a tsunami of power price hikes as a consequence, which could threaten investment plans, our industry's competitiveness, and jobs."
Gee Mr. Dion I guess you can cross Germany off your list of countries to emulate. I cannot stress this enough the Prime Minister needs to know what is going on in the world, if you cannot pick up a newspaper written outside Canada then you really are not doing yourself any favours.
