69 Green Entrepreneurs to Prime Minister: We Want A Carbon Tax.
It’s not enough to rely on new technologies to get us out of our climate emergency. We also need a carbon tax, and massive other changes. That’s what I and 68 other green entrepreneurs are trying to tell the government with the open letter published today.
It begins: “Til Dansk Erhvervs Årsdag slog statsminister Mette Frederiksen (S) fast, at det er de innovative virksomheder, der skal hjælpe Danmark til at nå målet om en 70-procents reduktion af CO2-udslippet i 2030:
“Det kan kun lade sig gøre, hvis vi tør tro på, at teknologien er med til at finde svarene for os. Gør vi ikke det, bliver det kun højere afgifter. Og det er ikke svaret. Det er ikke svaret i dag, og det er ikke svaret om fem år eller om ti år. Det er ny teknologi, og det er innovation," lød det fra Mette Frederiksen.
Vi er nogle af de innovative virksomheder, der udvikler de teknologier, statsministeren taler om. Vi sætter pris på politikerne og befolkningens tillid til os. Men vi må allerede skuffe jer, for problemet er for kritisk og for stort til, at politikerne trygt kan overlade opgaven til os.” Read the full article in Altinget here
