Subsidies of electric cars the worst climate action
« Electricity subsidies are not just an inefficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the worst, » says Sigríður Á. Andersen MP for the Central Party in a conversation with Morgunblaðið, but earlier this week there was a exchange of words between it and Dádi Más Kristófersson, Minister of Finance, when a debate on the Minister's bill was held on a kilometer fee on a vehicle.
Sigríður says that the bill states that the system change that the bill is intended to promote is with reference to climate and energy exchange action. Reference is made to the bill for subsidizing electric cars, which is an operation that will continue.
« That is why I asked the Minister of Finance if he was not aware of the report of the Institute of Economic Studies, which was a benefit analysis of the government's actions in climate change, » says Sigríður, but Dadi Már Kristófersson was the director of the Institute of Economic Studies when the report was published in 2022, but it was prepared.
Further discussion can be found in Morgunblaðið today.
