German city of Bremen attempts to form a green police to enforce proposed ban of electric heaters.

Most of us already suspect that environmentalists are dictatorial wolves dressed in the democracy sheepskin. Despite all the lip service they pay to justice and liberty, they are really all about state power and regulation.
So it is with Germany’s authoritarian statists and greens, who not long ago called for the enactment of a nationwide “Veggie Day” once a week in order to start weaning people off climate-killing diets containing meat. Fortunately the citizens roundly rejected the nonsense, sending the wackos off – to return another day. Electric heater
German city of Bremen attempts to form a green police to enforce proposed ban of electric heaters.
Well, that “another day” has already arrived. The latest suggested intrusion into and control over our private lives is reported by the Liberal website of Friedrich Naumann Foundation For Liberty.
In the northern port city of Bremen, just a single hour away from the home of NoTricksZone, officials are now busily playing let’s-save-the-planet and zealously committing the city to cutting its carbon footprint by 40% by 2020 compared to 1990 levels.

How is this to be done? The Liberal writes (my emphasis):
"One of the planned measures: The ‘ban of electric heaters’. What 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. According to the Weser-Kurier daily, officials would ‘in carrying out the duties of their office, tread upon private property and enter private buildings‘. The provision of the German Constitution for the inviolability of the home would in this respect be curtailed.”The Liberal adds:
"Here Lohse is creating nothing less than an environment police.”As mentioned, the proposed law for the city of Bremen of course would clash with Article 13 of the German Constitution which guarantees private individuals the “inviolability of the home”. But in the City of Bremen, which is run by a coalition of climate protection-obsessed socialists and greens, little things like Constitutional Rights are not about to stop their hunt for electric radiators as part of their mission to rescue the planet. After all it’s far more vital to improve the city’s carbon footprint and to promote sustainability then it is to uphold the Federal Constitution.
In their distorted minds, not having an electric heater is more important than having fundamental Constitutional rights.

German City Of Bremen Calls For A Green Police – To Enter Private Homes And Eliminate Electric Heaters
Those little heaters save us over a thousand a year by using LESS energy you liberal Bremen jacka$$es
After you murder your children on their order.
If the Democrats win another national election, you will need a Federal license from the EPA just to own an internal combustion engine.
Can we just go ahead and outlaw liberal thinking because of all the lies, deception, and stupidity that comes out of their rotted to the core collective thinking souls?

I found a fairly handy to heating a small room without having to use a heater. It actually makes a small room fairly comfortable for hours at a time and there’s nothing the greens can do, because they can’t detect it.

If people are stupid enough to vote for this, then they deserve it.
I do feel sorry for the thousands of elderly and sick who will suffer and die early because they are dependent on a little extra warmth in their homes. My mother has a heater where she sits all the time because she has a heart condition and she is always cold. Of course, she can just pump the heat up and heat the whole house a lot more and inconvenience everyone else - until they make that illegal too.
Liberals are just down and down mean towards the weak and sick. Darwinism at work.
Germans are a very civilized, logical, well-educated and reasonable people
Yet they have a blind spot for readily accepting authoritarianism in the name of collectivism and the so-called “greater good” which still puzzles me, despite my knowledge of the language and much time spent there.
Well, DUH!
It wouldn't do to let the children freeze!
Dear German People:
You saw this once before. Time to dust off those hidden Mausers, load stripper clips, and bandoleers.
Don’t let it happen again.
I've been to both. I LOVED the German Bremen--especially the tale of the donkey, dog, cat and cockerel (rooster).
Since I have GOOD friends in Texas, I MUST and do like "New Bremen."
Germans (and I might add many other Europeans) have an envy streak that’s hard to understand. In the case of a home burglary, they might assign partial blame on the house owner for having goods that attracted the thief.
“climate-killing diets”
LOL!!
Germany has a new Green Police
