    “In another sign of the vitality of the Berlin-Rome partnership, Italy, Germany and Belgium co-hosted a pre-summit gathering of 19 member states. The Italian prime minister’s office, the Palazzo Chigi, said the group discussed initiatives needed to “relaunch Europe’s industry”, including a review of the emissions trading system, the EU’s carbon pricing system.”

    Yeah sure, please kill the one good system that effectively promotes long term decarbonization.

      It’s baffling to me from the German side in particular, after they decommissioned all their nuclear plants… they reject a zero-carbon energy source under the pretense that wind and solar would be enough to go green (while, to this day, they keep pumping fuel), and now they are gonna argue that they need to pump more?
