OH NO, HERE WE GO AGAIN THE EU JUST DROPPED THE MOTHER OF ALL GREEN TAX BOMBS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!The EU's CBAM is one of the smartest and most necessary moves in years. Starting 2026, this carbon border tax is fully operational, hitting imports of steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen with real costs based on their embedded emissions. No more letting dirty foreign producers flood Europe with cheap, high-carbon crap while local companies bleed under strict ETS rules.This isn't protectionism for its own sake it's basic fairness. European industries already pay high carbon prices. Why should they get undercut by Chinese coal plants or unregulated factories elsewhere? CBAM levels the playing field, stops carbon leakage, and keeps good jobs in Europe instead of offshoring everything to the worst polluters.It also sends the right signal to the world: clean up your production or pay the price at the border. Developing countries aren't being punished – they're being incentivized to adopt better standards, install carbon pricing, and modernize. If they do, they avoid the tax. Win-win for the climate.Sure, prices might rise a bit short-term, but that's the cost of actually doing something real about emissions instead of endless virtue-signaling. The revenue can fund green innovation and help the transition. Retaliation fears are overblown – this is leadership, not aggression.CBAM proves Europe can be ambitious and pragmatic at the same time. Dirty exporters are mad because their free ride is over. Good. Time to compete on clean terms. The planet benefits, European industry survives, and global standards rise. Based policy for once.

>>532376316China know this is coming they are making use of the supercritical CO2 turbinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7dr6oKHqqM
>>532376316>hitting imports of steelIt is ca. 0,05-0,10 €/kg That's nothing
>>532376693>be eastern europe>try to escape from commies from the east>join the west>now has to escape the commies from the westkek
>>532376975Steel trades in tonnes, not random kilograms. Let's do the math properly:0.05–0.10 € per kg = 50–100 € per tonne of steel.Current EU ETS carbon price is hovering around 70–90 € per tonne of CO2 (recently near 71 €). For dirty imported steel (especially from coal-heavy producers like parts of China or India), embedded emissions are often 1.5 to 3+ tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel way above clean EU benchmarks.That means real CBAM costs for high-intensity imports frequently hit €40–120 per tonne, and in some cases €200–600+ per tonne depending on the production route and default values. Even "average" dirty steel easily sees €50–100+ per tonne added right at the border.On a €500–800/tonne steel price, that's 10–20%+ extra cost overnight for the dirtiest shipments. Not pocket change. It wipes out the price advantage of cheap, high-carbon imports and forces suppliers to either clean up fast or lose the EU market.Calling 50–100 €/tonne "nothing" is pure cope. For European steelmakers paying full ETS costs without free allowances, this is the difference between survival and shutdown. For global polluters, it's the wake-up call they desperately needed.CBAM isn't a light slap it's a serious price signal that actually protects EU industry and pushes real decarbonization worldwide. Downplaying it as 0.05 €/kg is just trying to make the mechanism look toothless when it's finally growing teeth. Based move by the EU. Dirty exporters seething is the point.

>>532376316Good.You faggots should go pay Iran for your gas too.kek.
>>532377612>Just imagine the amount of beurocrats you need to control all the fake CO2 certificates. Unemployment solved.Wrong. CBAM uses default values published by the Commission country- and product-specific emission factors (for steel often 1.3–3+ tCO2e per tonne depending on route and origin, plus 10% markup in 2026).Importers can simply apply these conservative defaults without verifying every supplier's data. No endless inspections or fake-certificate police needed.Defaults are set deliberately high on purpose: they act as a penalty for dirty or non-cooperative exporters. This creates strong incentive for suppliers to provide accurate, third-party verified real emissions instead which are usually much lower.Result? Minimal extra bureaucracy. Most admin stays on importers and big suppliers who already handle customs. Small players just pay the default premium. No giant new beurocrat horde required.The "unemployment solved" meme is pure cope. Defaults make CBAM smart and efficient while still hitting polluters hard.Based mechanism. Dirty exporters seething is the entire point.

Netanyahu responded, “That’s very much my plan … It’s a very deliberate policy.” He later added that “Israel had technology because the military, especially military intelligence, produced a lot of capabilities. These incredibly gifted young men and women who come out of the military or the Mossad, they want to start their start-ups.”

>>532376316>It's not a tariff when we do it
>>532376316People won't understand this, but this is literally their form of tariffs. And it actually works, compared to what the US does.Both are taxes on imports. But the EU approach exempts companies that compete fairly and don't just undercut with cheap wages.

>>532376316>This isn't protectionism for its own sake it's basic fairness.Even if it was protectionism it is good.

>>532376316>It's not protectionist trade barrier, this is to save the planet from climate change. :^)Right.
>>532389632its because of energy prices surge not a single worthless enterprise in EU is profitable they can only tariff imports and HOPE factories take an L but whats realy gonna happen they will close their business and fuck off from EUSSR somewhere else
>>532376316PAJEETS ITT ARE ABSOLUTLY MADLING https://youtu.be/tIi7HEwaDBI
>>532389632Say what you want about Europe, but their approach to protectionist trade policies is pretty good.They want to get rid of something, they just enforce a superior product and the competition will lose market share until they become insignificant.They hate on Visa/MC? They enforce that banks build their own free system. Visa / MC can't compete with a free domestic product. They lose.They don't want American software to dominate the market? They support the development of free software, and enforce data protection guidelines for public offices that force them to use domestic infrastructure. Microsoft and AWS can't compete because they are based in the US and have to comply with US laws. They lose significance.The EU has problems with China and India undercutting them? Enforce environmental protections.This is the EU way of doing things. Foreign countries can't do shit against it.
>>532376316What kind of fucking world is this?Why does everything always go the worst possible way it can go?I feel like I’m living in some sort of punishment dimension.
>>532376316>Europe cuts itself out of global trade just in time for when they're already becoming a geopolitical irrelevancyOh no. The countries that were already dying are now dying in private.Crivens!
>>532389463So the undercutting of wages must be done domestically via endless migration?

>>532390305>cucks to their global MINIMUM* taxation scheme
>>532390374Idk about the Netherlands, but in Germany at least there is a significant push to produce domestically. Not by the government, but by the companies themselves. Just because technological advancements did lead to an decreased significance of labor costs.For Germany in particular, battery manufacturing is experiencing a huge boom.
>>532390650we just have company after company leaving because of energy costs. Even finance is moving to countries like Poland. Our government is retarded and there is no plan
>>532390465>But India and China are less corrupt.They don´t care if their people die at 44 from COPD and silicosis.Corruption and wages never mattered.
>>532390767Yeah. Energy costs are the biggest detriment to industrial growth at the moment over here too.However, energy is also the top priority over here, and they are actually taking steps to improve it. Part of the spikes in Energy costs over here are mismanagement. But part are also costs from initial investments that will reduce energy prices in the future.We are actively experiencing the "short term pain" phase before the long term gains happen.
>>532391001our gov went all in on "renewables", okay not bad, but in such a puritan fashion that all pretty clean coal and gas to be shut down before we were ready. Though even worse, they knew the energy grid had to be UPGRADED AND EXPANDED because of the renewables, and they just didn't... now we have new housing build (if at all) that can not be connected to the grid, and new companies also. Now we are cucked out off new buildings not only by co2 laws and scarcity of land, but no power at all for them
>>532391256Yeah, the sudden removal of fossil energy sources was badly executed. And I do blame the government for mismanaging the energy transition. However, the outlook for the future is pretty good if you consider how things currently are. Can't turn back time. Can only make the best out of this shitty situation.
