Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Important: Subsidies for the renovation of residential buildings 461 and non-residential buildings 463 can still be applied for until the end of 27.07.2022 (so until midnight today).

Our Minister of Climate is already very generous....

Amazing, I would never have expected that in my life. Due to the now high energy prices, the intrinsic motivation of the citizens of the federal republic will probably be appealed to :D

Renovation of existing buildings is probably not desired? I can understand that budgets have to be managed and subsidies are not always seen positively from the end consumer's perspective. But that's a tough nut to crack...

No, better to tear down and rebuild.

Coal and nuclear power plants will continue to operate, does anyone believe that the Greens will cut ecologically sensible subsidies for fun? We are still paying for the consequences of the Corona epidemic, and in the autumn we will see how much the economy suffers again.,The increase in health insurance contributions has been decided. The follow-up costs of the war in Ukraine are also not yet foreseeable. We simply no longer live in 2019. Everyone is swallowing toads. The poorest and the middle class are the most affected. The fat years are over for many people for the time being.

What could lead to electricity prices of around 40 cents, as in current new customer offers in some places. And photovoltaic self-consumption in winter reduces only a part of the heating costs in old buildings, even with a large unshaded south-facing roof. But of course, with photovoltaic prices like two years ago, one could possibly calculate the heat pump as somewhat more attractive. But that also means many thousands of euros higher investment.

Then you simply don’t choose the designer tiles for the bathroom or just leave out the fancy €5,000 bathtub. I don’t understand how homeowners can complain. You own a property worth several hundred thousand euros and complain that it’s too expensive... It’s like driving a Lamborghini and complaining about the fuel costs :cool:

Incredible, I would never have expected that.
Due to the now high energy prices, they will probably appeal to the intrinsic motivation of the citizens :D

The food banks can no longer support all the people who need help. Donations are decreasing, and the government rightfully has a greater need for the money elsewhere.
It would just be nice if they actually went after the really large fortunes once in a while. Or if government aid didn’t indirectly flow into dividends. Because there is truly no intrinsic motivation among the profiteers. Solidarity is a dirty word there.

Well, if the subsidy for hybrid heating systems is discontinued, you might see reasonable prices there again. Supply and demand, after all. With the offers, I had the feeling that the subsidy was already factored in…
