CO₂ neutrality at any price?
How owners of old buildings are being dispossessed and investors driven out
🔥 A silent storm over the real estate market
What is currently happening in Germany is not a technical market adjustment. It is a politically driven upheaval - and it is primarily affecting people who believed that property was a safe bank. Banks are increasingly refusing to provide financing for older existing properties with poor energy efficiency. The result? The houses are rapidly losing value. The market is punishing what has been stable for decades.
🧱 Energy efficiency as a weapon against property
A house is no longer worth what it is - but only what it saves on paper in terms of CO₂.
-
A functioning house with good substance?
-
A solid location, solid construction?
None of this is worth anything if the energy certificate is not "green" enough. The owner loses access to the capital market - and therefore planning security.
💸 Refurbish or ruin: A system error with an announcement
The politically driven energy-efficient refurbishment is turning out to be a bottomless pit.
Costs for heat pumps, insulation, windows and roof refurbishment:
👉 quickly reach 80,000-150,000 euros - often without any real economic viability.
And all this to save perhaps 1,000-2,000€ heating costs per year?
This is not climate protection - this is financial policy madness on the backs of the citizens.
📉 Interest rate turnaround as a fire accelerator
Rising interest rates are killing the market:
-
Financing costs have multiplied
-
Buyers are jumping ship
-
Sellers are stuck with their properties
Anyone who has to sell today is a double loser:
They are being punished by the market - due to poor energy class and high interest rates. The market is collapsing - and with it the livelihoods of many people.
⚖️ CO₂ neutrality in the Basic Law - the final threat
By enshrining CO₂ neutrality in the Basic Law until 2045, the whole thing becomes a legally secured permanent crisis.
What does that mean?
Any encroachment on property, any new obligation, any additional requirement - can now be legitimized under constitutional law.
Planning security? Not a chance.
Legal peace? History.
Investment protection? An illusion.
🕳️ The great expropriation under the radar
It is not an open expropriation. It is a cold, silent, systematic devaluation:
-
by law
-
by norm
-
through the ideological exaggeration of the climate target above all social and economic realities.
Those who no longer play along lose - their assets, their retirement provision, their dignity.
⚠️ Conclusion: Deadly renovation in the name of the climate - and nobody stops it
What is happening here is a massive breach of our society's concept of ownership.
The CO₂ targets have become a sacrosanct excuse to drive entire sections of the population into insecurity, financial difficulties and dependency.
It is time to call a spade a spade:
This climate policy leads to structural expropriation - and it is not justified by morality, but by power.
