This is the kind of competition I like to see.

China has been subsidising for past 30 years that's why when US and EU companies went bust China became market leader in batteries and solar panels.

For the EU stimulus ought to be on the consumer side, like removal of sales tax for any EU made EV selling for €50k or less, same could go for solar panel installations etc.

Open the floodgate of wasting taxpayers' money.

So basically both sides of the Atlantic will be funding new green technologies. Countries like Mexico will benefit a lot too. I certainly don’t think we should be depending on China too much.

If renewables are supposed to be the cheapest form of energy for consumers, why do they require so many direct and indirect subsidies???

With Ursula von decrazy running the show, what could possibly go wrong. You got the infrastructure behind all this right? You got the energy to charge these when every one gets home? A VW polo costs ? How much for the equivalent EV?

Can you remember Mrs von der Leyen say in March last year, "We have to move away from an unreliable partner & join up with a more reliable, sustainable one." Meaning the U.S. Well, if you think that woman was smart then, what do you think now?

A green race? - I'm OK with it :)

Framing this around the US's Inflation Reduction Act is such a cop-out. And knowing the EU, I won't expend anything more than peanuts to back up what they're saying, either. But, I'll still take it. More investment is always better than less, even if the framing is both dubious and disingenuous.

She will do as much for European industry as she did for the German military.

Im happy to see countries making Going Green into a competition. I didnt think i'd see the day.

They have a lot of ways to give away your money and increase your taxes.

All well and good but none of that helps me directly as a citizen. I cant afford the 'greener' options while being taxed more for products seen as polluting. Those taxes then spent on people with more wealth getting subsidized for their electric car and what not. Not helping.

The automakers are going to have to do a lot of planning to pick the best options, but also, in terms of what vehicles are built where. Being the planner for a legacy automaker sounds like a pain atm. I wonder what the Japanese are planning. I don't blame them for being hesitant on EVs. So many issues that nobody talks about. But Honda and Toyota probably are thinking about Japan but also their biggest market in NA.

is there any industry that can survive without goverment subsidy??

The end of cheap, affordable energy.

Thanks to Ursula, green energy has developed to such a scale that Germany is printing coal-fired power plants 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, DW, for an excellent reporting. May I ask, what was the point of allowing lady's background voice from 4:29 to 4:40 ?

Subsidies? In the EU? Never 😂🤡

They need to put way more money into studying space weather.

Europe is a competitor what did you expect the U.S. to do ?

If this is what it takes for the West to begin the green transition, then so be it

Yo, we need more Bureaucracy to make nature great again

Using Solar and Wind Energies via battery storage will mean that we all have to switch to low voltage including mass transmission of electricity but this is not feasible during winter if you dun wanna depend of coal or woods burning but rather electric heater. Robust electric heaters are bigger and power on higher wattages.

LNG Tarminal..

The European commission is not Europe.

Green?? The windmill mafia is NOT ‘green’😮😢😮

When ever these clowns lay out a "new" plan. Remember its going to cost you big time

bigger context: the us is in an arms race with both china and russia. the us real wages are going down while the debt is increasing. in contrast to afghanistan in '80s, the us has to spend much more on winning against russia in ukraine. the west will now create more inflation, more debts and probably raise more taxes for the sake of world domination and enormous subsidies. at the same time, china is growing economically, politically and militarily. the gulf states which are earning enormously on high oil and gas prices as well as china have started competing with the imf in lending money which means more influence for them. the eu is sinking and will thus be a much weaker partner of the us. if china doesn't go to war and waits, the us sanctions on china will backfire in the form of expensive products in the us and an enormous decrease in sales to china. the west wants a hot war with china because it is the only way it can win.

USA here, where should I switch my investmentents to on robinhood?

Mrs. von der Leyen's face, even though she had traveled a long way from Europe to Kyiv, she still looked more beautiful and happier when von der Leyen was with her husband. .What has created the happiness of a woman when the woman is not with her husband?

Well but the US just replaces their Car Dependency with new cars. Why follow into this concrete dungeon? Europe should focus on a new smart grid and more efficiency. Instead of wasting Solar panels in the north invest in Southern Europe and a Co-Op with North Africa (Morocco or Tunisia) . I always believe Europe can develop a alternative position to China and the US.

Meanwhile in the UK...

International market makes no sense green wise. Moving goods across the world is not the way to go when going green. Producing and selling locally is the adaptation that as to happen for the markets to be green, greener.

Right after US cuts EU off from cheap Russian gas lol...

This is a Seat of the pants knee-jerk reaction. It won't last. It won't get anywhere.

This will be the last resort of these type US related officials in EU.

I'm sending prayers for my friends in Europe...

hope can keep some factories in Europe not move most profitable business to US and China

Sounds like greed on the behalf of the EU. So what if America is offering Americans a subsidy for a usa made electric car. If its made and sold in the same country it has a much lower carbon footprint working towards greener future.

Modern nuclear power production should be embraced together with renewables as net "zero" path

Even with green Energies like solar, and wind power energies via oil transformers to step up the electricity voltages with current transmission network, there will be inevitable power shortage supplies.

Speaking about green and on the other side supplying deadly weapons to Ukraine is not eco friendly . It means war friendly 😀

Of no real importance as the real problem is being ignored. The world's population is already about 9 billion and still rising, nothing is being done to address the true problem.

a fear of european companies being unfairly muscled out of the U.S.? How many Chevrolets, Buicks and Chrysler have been driving on European roads during the past 30 years? Compare that to the VW's, MB's, BMW's, Porsche's on U.S. roads. The eurpoean argument was always "oh well, we apparently make the better products, let the free market forces decide" Yup....time to turn things around a bit.

Subsidiaries for wealthy, new car buyers , we're do the taxes come from.

The world must unit as one big force to fight for climate change. Climate disasters caused many lives and huge financial losses. Therefore, investment in green technology is a wisely initiative and cost effective to combat climate disasters in the world.

You can sure tell that she hasn't ever jumped into a Corvette and Put The Hammer Down 😆🤪

Who can go bankrupt first!!!

Are they stopping subsidies for oil and gas? Are they looking to reduce consumption? No? Then it's greenwashing

There is a symbiotic relationship between consumerism and industrialization. But clean energy and green transition are not intrinsic parts of this equation because reversing the climate digression does not generate income. One way of integrating environmental issues is by considering the climate as a commodity that has its own fungible and tradable value. And convincing customers that the most desirable commodity is the climate and that climate currency supersedes the value of any other commodity.

Ideas, etcs are great, but executing them is another challenge, I do fear that the 'coal face' highly skilled workforce is in shortage. Especially with dangerous technologies like batteries, etc.

The fools compete who is going to bring the most light into house by using bags.

I'm tired of seeing people in suits

Why Europe elect a American representative with an European name to “lead” Europe parliament ?

Green means money, only rich countries can buy green; poor countries having no industry are green.

The EU is a "garden," according to the Spaniard Josep Borrell. No greening is needed unless it is to print more money.

DW NEWS DO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DA IRANIAN SHIP IN THE PANAMA CANAL?

Salderen for Energy transition. And they wanna killit. Kill Rooftop Solar and Profit for ordinary people with Solar. Vote for Salderen for Rooftop Solar Work and clean Energy. Support Salderen.

Germany soon with silex energy!. 3 or 4 years before his banckrut....

Don't forget Developing countries. Without them There is no Green futuristic

Fist must find a solution rich poor gap, probably rethink of monetary policies.

"The European Green Deal: Visionary policy or empty promises? | DW News" on KZfaq

LMAO WTF Europe. US wants to expand its own green industries and this is a good move for the US. A lot of jobs and investments related to EV, batteries, solar panels are going to come to the US because of this. Great move by the US 👍. As for the other side of the world in Indonesia, also wants to create its own green industries in Indonesia and therefore ban export of raw materials like nickel, bauxite, etc (all necessary for green industries) to prod green industry investments in Indonesia. Both of these are good for US and Indonesia respectively, wanting to expand their own green industry, and yet this is what EU is doing. Maybe start removing your tariffs first EU before doing something like this?

Love it time to take real action and go GREEN!

we need to stop the arctic ice sheets from melting. we need to do geo-engineering to save animal species!

Video title should be “Funding the green transition scam”

this mean EV be more expensive

Yeah more coal….😂😂😂

Batteries have a lifespan. Solar panels have a life span. This is going to get us nowhere when we run out of materials to build batteries and solar panels.

Eu politicians seem more determined and seem alot more motivated by passion for the work rather than trivial power/wealth. Ofc im just talking generally, there are exeptions.

FRIENDS, BROTHERS VOLUNTEERS FROM EUROPE, ASIA AND AMERICA❗ UKRAINE NOW NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT IN BAKHMUT, VUHLEDAR, WE FIGHT WITH AGRESSOR ❗ THANK YOU, SLAVA UKRAINE ✊

Again? But this time with no green Russian gas i guess?

We should have invested this industry much earlier not to keep up with competing economies but to accelerate the transition towards more climate friendly future. It is going to benefit everyone by transitioning early or put it another way if we are slow to transition everyone is going to suffer through climate change and the people and their governments will be paying for the cost of this suffering in lives and economic damage. Investing in this industry isn't about fairness it's about having an insurance for the future. Yes we would be picking winners and influencing the market but in this case there is a urgency that I believe is more important.

Buy a diesel, to reduce the taxes subsidizing the billionaires.

So the European union thinks that the USA will subsidies their company ,nonsense

eu has a chance to create a robust green industry it can then export abroad.

If you don't protect African children, your amazing success and carreer in being the ones who saved the planet, will be tainted with their blood. Is this what you want for your legacy?

What BS! All on paper but little will ever be built!

Well, at least thinking about stepping your game up is a lot better than whining about being pushed out of a market 🤷

Car companies need the American market cos in Europe the margins are smaller. The smaller the car the smaller the margins. For example Ford no longer produce small cars for USA... 🧐

Green investments will go bad. Electric cars are practically useless and not an efficient consumption of energy. The batteries are not cost effective, are very heavy and expensive. Petroleum fuel is much more efficient in energy production. Windmills have severe limits. Solar panels can be useful but can also destroy the environment around them. With solar energy you have limitations caused by time of year and weather conditions and must once again use batteries for storage. I live in Texas, and we have tried it all. We use a mix of windmills (freeze up in our winters), solar (will not work on days without sun and must use batteries for storage). Oil is still the most efficient fuel for heat production and to run cars. Hydroelectric is great and used all over our country but during drought situations in the west (last 20 years here) can be less reliable.

Prayers? Or are they throwing the log in on these guys now...

Yeah and this war in Ukraine is using masses of carbon emissions 😂

I came to the conclusion that the future belongs to maintenance-free aluminum chlorine batteries...🤓 chlorine solutions will remove the oxide film from aluminum electrodes and evenly distribute the load over the entire area in order to slow down electrochemical corrosion as much as possible... the electrodes themselves will be made of alloys and the proportion of aluminum "at least 50-60%" of the total volume of metal. the remaining elements will be distributed according to the levels of "price categories" of future elements - silicon and iron are the basis of additional minerals and small combinations of - magnesium, strontium, barium, manganese, calcium, sodium, potassium and titanium... it is even possible to alloy with nickel, chromium and zirconium with molybdenum - but the price and value for such a battery will be thousands of times higher and will soon go into the military category of goods under special control... in terms of safety and maintenance - there will be a special hermetic membrane (thin durable polymer or chemically resistant rubber), like a small ball, it will begin to inflate 3-5 mm in height when there is a high temperature and a lot of pressure, and if the battery boils, the gas pressure relief valve will work a special chemical-neutralization gasket so that hydrogen chloride and pure hydrogen are not so toxic and explosive from the outside... the electrolyte solution itself will be selected relative to the electrode alloy - but strict limits on the amount of chlorine and perchloric acids in the solution are necessary - so that there is no sediment and the electrodes do not corrode - this, like in old lead-acid batteries, is called the working density of the electrolyte... interelectrode fillers made of glass-sponge material or multilayer dense fiberglass (with a certain chemical composition for individual operating ranges and capacities), or natural cotton and viscose fabrics with polymer and acrylic impregnations, followed by full and partial carbonization - to increase the strength and life expectancy of the filler... there are options with sulfuric acid, phosphorus compounds and fluorine compounds - but the most versatile is chlorine ones - high current output and reliability due to the volatility of chlorine in a closed sealed volume (pure chlorine will be dissolved in water and reattach to metals and will not precipitate like phosphorus or sulfur ) but tightness is needed... can be made and serviced, but this hemorrhoids are worse than with sulfuric acid, everything is also due to the volatility of chlorine and the inability to hermetically close the cell covers - as an option, make very strong-thick covers with a special lever-key, since you can’t even close tightly with your bare hands the best athletes - so that chlorine does not evaporate to the outside during active battery operation...

Europe needs to realize the Marshall plan has been over for years.

Thank you Putin for fast forward the Green Revolution.

Leopard tanks are NOT exactly GREEN

Germany 6T external debt France 7T external debt Entire EU is drowned in debt Subsidies yeah!

Dear EU, cut your protective tariffs that prevent US goods from being sold in the EU on a level playing field and then we can talk.

Green subsidies have proven to be wastefully expensive. Enjoy the devaluation of the Euro, and the rise of inflation and public discourse.

Iranian ship in da Panama Canal, brexit, Ukraine, debt ceiling and pineapple on pizza. The world is doom🤣

Europe is in trouble. 🤔

Electric cars produce significantly more greenhouse gases than fossil-fuel powered cars. This is because of the greenhouse gases produced in mining battery materials and manufacturing the large batteries that are linked to electric cars. However, fossil-fuel powered cars are not as good as hybrid cars when it comes to C02 emission. Hybrid cars have small batteries compared to electric cars.

Great, taxes raised again to pay the billionaires.

This also europe beg from china🤣🤣🤣🤣

US and China helping his economy. EU help Ukraine . So EU see Ukraine like biggest investment then owns economy. 🙄

Free markets what a joke! Keep this video handy for next time someone says anything about Marxist being the ones that live in a utopian world.
