Arguing about the details misses the goal

the Parties are arguing so busta whizzes regarding marginal, completely elemental mitigation. It is a mysterious situation when the Government and støttepartiene’ve spent three years on the not to cut greenhouse gas emissions, ” says Hansson.

He points to the fact that Norway, together with Bulgaria, is the only country in Europe that has increased the greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector their the last 15 years.

I don’t think the negotiations are going in the goals. The left Sector has promised gold and green forests, but have not received anything in three years, ” he says. He believes that the parties do not have any other choice than to break with the Government.



He also refers to the fact that Erna Solberg in spørretimen Wednesday said it would be difficult to reach the goals in through, that the cooperation agreement between the Government and the støttepartiene based on.

Large oljekutt and high bensinavgifter

MDG presented in its alternative budget a “recipe” on how Norway can achieve the goal to cut 7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2020.

the Largest portion of the cuts come from road transport, including by increasing the drivstoffavgiftene on gasoline and disel with 5 million. Part of the increase is compensated for by increased pendlerfradrag for people who live far away kollektivløsninger.

the cuts also come from a rapid tapering off of the oil and gas industry. The party will include double the CO2 tax on the continental shelf, stop all new oil exploration, withdraw 23. and 24. licensing round, and wind up companies the opportunity to get covered exploration costs for fields that do not come into operation.

Lures with klimagulrot

the Party will also cut the vat on fruit, vegetables, repairs, and kollektivreiser, introducing flyseteavgift of 600 million per seat, and subsidising electric cars to people in rural areas.

– Any government that follows this budget, will now klimamålene, ” says Hansson.

Parts of the party go into increased environmental charges, to be paid back again in the form of a miljøbelønning at around 1500 nok per person.

Thus do we make it profitable to live environmentally friendly, but we skin no, ” says Hansson.

the Party cuts in his budget proposal the income tax for people who earn under 650.000 money, and increases for those who earn more. Bunnfradraget on the net wealth tax be increased to 1.7 million, while the tax on large fortunes increased.

Oljejobbene going away no matter

the Party also proposes to reduce taxes by 6 billion to make it cheaper to employ people.

– 40.000 jobs have already disappeared from the sector already, and you add an to a rapid tapering off. Where will these people work?

– This are jobs that are going away anyway, and people have to accept that it is unrealistic and risky to wait for Norway to earn money on the oljefremover, ” he says.

He emphasizes that the decline in the oil industry is already in full swing, without any measures taken. Hansson points out that the party among the different sets of money to electrify the Norwegian ports, which can create jobs including by facilitating a market for Norwegian, emissions-free ship. He also has great faith in bionæringen forward.

– Here is the Borregaard a brilliant example. While other skogbedrifter uses a log to make planks, create Borregaard advanced chemicals for use in industry and for biofuels, he says.
