Germany politicians are taking the notion of going green to a whole
new level, calling for the creation of “green police” with the power to
raid homes and businesses in order to enforce environmental regulations.
The German port city of Bremen is setting out a goal to cut carbon
dioxide emissions 40 percent by 2020. To meet this goal, the city is
toying with the idea of creating a green police force that would enter
private homes and property to enforce a ban on electric heaters.
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation For Liberty reports
that, “[w]hat sounds like one of the usual injection of fuel into the
green bonfire of bans in fact takes on a whole new quality. The proposed
law by Environment Senator Joachim Lohse foresees a system of
monitoring that allows for detection of violations and punishment.”
