The mobility summit in the Federal Chancellery on Wednesday caused a lot of head shaking and a lot of criticism. However, Chancellor Nehammer (ÖVP) points to the importance of the debates.
The car show organized by Nehammer in the Chancellery, which could be called “Super E-Fuel”, caused surprise and head shaking.
With the coalition partner, with NGOs, with international experts such as the German ‘car pope’ Ferdinand Dudenhöffer.
Top Greens declined to comment. Climate spokesman Lukas Hammer spoke out for this in the “Krone”. “The decisions about the future of the internal combustion engine in passenger cars have long been made – the future is electric.”
Kogler: “E-fuels are not future-oriented”
Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) said a few weeks ago that the e-fuel route is far too expensive and not very forward-looking. “Right-wing conservative programs cannot override the laws of physics.” The government will therefore not burst like an overheated summer tire. But the episode – after the rent cap debacle, which actually drove the Greens to the pain threshold – again reveals dissonance.
“But we need e-fuels for ships, planes and trucks,” says scientist Stefan Schleicher in an interview with “Krone”. “But the future of personal transportation is definitely electric.”
Nehammer was rather vague after his controversial car summit with experts. It is important to discuss different perspectives, the head of government said. “The mobility issue cannot, so to speak, rest on just one form of technology.”
“Fog Grenade” or rather “Message Control”?
Critics may describe the sensational action as throwing “fog grenades”. You could also try Nehammer’s head of communications, Gerald Fleischmann. In his current book on “Message Control” he brings into play the term SNU: “strategically necessary nonsense”.
