P.s: I would like to add an explanation of how this new law is expected to work:

First of all: Two-thirds of all the fees on fuels that are collected will be paid back to the citizens.
In this case, we use the healthcare insurance system which is private but compulsory for everyone. So, every citizen gets back the same amount per year so his or her healthcare payment is decreased, for adults and children alike. So, the law is "family-friendly".

This leads to a benefit for all those who take climate change more seriously than others. By doing that they can save money. Those with big cars that burn a lot of fuel or those who fly to other countries several times a year pay much more than they get back.

On top of that: all the fees have a range, so a minimum and a maximum for the next ten years. The government measures the effects of the law and reports the results regularly to the parliament and the public. If the effect the fees lead to is not substantial enough the fees will be increased within these ranges. So, it is not a static law but one that allows the government to react to the developments in the next ten years.

The third part of all the fees is spent on research and financing of good projects to substitute fossil fuels. This trickles down to all districts that only contribute to the costs of that sponsoring by 25% but are in charge to run these programs and pay out the money.

Now: as long as alternatives in terms of better heating systems, better cars are not available or are too expensive the expected change will not happen. I pointed out that new cars with electric engines should therefore be economic and not more expensive than cars with fossil fuel engines, and in about 4 to 6 years this will be the case in Europe they say.

When enough countries put in effect stricter rules and fees and taxes on fossil fuel-powered cars then the car producers will turn around and invest in the production of these new better cars, because that is their future market. That is why Elon Musk invested in a huge car factory in Germany and challenges the car producers in Europe with his electric cars.

Or to give you another example: They say that because Germany wanted to abolish and close down their nuclear power plants they had to compensate for the loss of electricity and, therefore, set up huge programs to build wind parks and install solar panels which led to a significant decrease of the prizes of both the windmills and the solar panels. Nowadays, the German state does not have to sponsor much of the wind parks and solar panels anymore because the market prices have gone down. What is left to do is to invest in energy storage, high voltage power lines, getting rid of the coal-fired power stations, and a more sophisticated control system to balance out the electric power grid as a whole and on a local basis.

Now: that sounds all very well - but: there is no proof yet if all that will work out according to the expectations.

But all in all, there is, in my view, no other way to go forward. So let us wait and see what will happen in the next decade. It is, as I see it, also important that this new developement is driven forward by big players, like powerful countries, the financial sector, and businesses all around the world. After a while, they guess, whoever has not joined in yet will have no choice anymore to stay outside. That will take time, of course, but is a developement that should not be overlooked.
