German Top Court Delays Controversial Heating Law, Dealing Blow to Chancellor Scholz

The German Constitutional Court has ruled that the Building Energy Act, a controversial heating law that caused disputes within the coalition, cannot be passed by the Bundestag due to insufficient time for parliamentary deliberation. The law aimed to reform heating systems in German households, with the Greens advocating for a ban on gas heating by 2024 and the liberals pushing for more lenient rules. The court's decision delays the resolution of the heating law until after the summer recess, potentially making it a major issue in upcoming state elections.

German Coalition in Turmoil Over Energy and Climate Policies

Germany's ruling coalition parties, the Social Democrats, the Greens, and the Free Democratic Party, are in a public dispute over budget cuts and a delay to a controversial green energy law. The Greens accused the FDP of breaking promises by delaying the law, which aims to phase out gas and oil heating in German households. The FDP blocked the Greens' plan, triggering a furious reaction from the Greens' Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck. The parties hold diverging opinions over how Germany should implement the EU's green plans to slash carbon emissions by 55% by 2030 and become climate neutral by 2050.
