German Bundestag, May 21, 2021, Plenarprotokoll 19/231, p.
29705.
Esteemed President. Worthy colleagues.
First to Herr Mindrup and to Frau Weisberger: Your assertion
that renewable energies are surely much cheaper than fossil energies is caught
out as a lie by a glance at any electricity bill of citizen or business in
Germany.
Anja
Weisberger (CDU/CSU): Photovoltaic is much cheaper. That is the facts!
The Green Deal, as proclaimed by Frau von der Leyen, feeds
on at least 2.6 trillion euros in the coming ten years. If I stack that up as 1
euro coins, I have twenty towers from here to the moon. And this is only the
prelude to the complete social transformation disguised as the Great Reset. The
initiators assert to be securing the future of coming generations. Precisely
the opposite is nevertheless the case. The annihilation of value for an
ideologically driven, planned economy represents a social regression, a breakdown
of civilization.
Lorenz Gösta
Beutin (Linke): Stop with the conspiracy garbage!
Your representation of a worldwide transformation in the
coming 25 years is an inhuman social experiment at the cost of coming
generations.
You believe to have noticed a defect in our developed society.
At the same time, this society is the best we have. This society by means of
its progress and technology has made possible the rapid growth to almost 8
billion people. By means of technology and energy, the people draw together and
are in a position to achieve prosperity for themselves. With your policy, you
want to end all of this. For a new, eco-socialist dystopia, you have as a goal
the destruction of the social foundation upon which humanity grows and
flourishes.
Our society, as it is, as a result of effort and error by
the billions in the everyday life of the people, has grown into the
civilization which we have today. It is not perfect; yet it is the best we
have. This evolutionary development of mankind you now want to replace with an
eco-socialist, drawing-board society, thought up in the ivory towers of alien [lebensferner], ideological Luddites.
Marianne Schieder
(SPD): Is there something besides ideological words?
Yet at the same time one question is certainly not
considered; that your transformation is based on compulsion and slavery: What
happens with those who resist this compulsion, who do not want to let their
basic rights be taken from them for an obscure climate hypothesis? Will these
then be socially outlawed like all the critics who contradict the Corona
preventive measures? Is it desired to circumscribe their basic rights, like
that of those who stand critically opposed to an immunization with a half-baked
vaccine? Or yet in the end does the climate Gulag threaten these people?
Lorenz Gösta
Beutin (Linke): An unequalled trivialization!
The solution is at the same time simple, and it goes without
compulsion. The solution is called energetic development. A small and wavering
energy supply does not lead us to the goal, but an intensification of reliable
energy of good value. This then leads to that mankind can realize your Utopia –
a greening of wasteland, a diversification of cultivated agricultural acreage
for the fight against hunger and poverty. If one nevertheless follows your
dogmatic way to an economy of scarcity and renunciation – you have often said
that is what you want – then the fate of the living is unknown and the future
of coming generations appears dark.
To simply live free, yet normal.
