Rahmstorf: Germany's fuel discount debate ignores deeper car subsidies

Rahmstorf argues driving is already heavily subsidized

1 Sep 16 5:18 PM · 7d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 1 of 2

In a SPIEGEL column shared on Bluesky, Rahmstorf writes that car owners do not cover about 40% of the true costs of driving, with the public bearing the rest, and cites economist Matthias Runkel that no mode of transport is subsidized as heavily as the car; he calls for a Klimageld (climate money) rebate instead of subsidized fuel.
