TL;DR AI-generated Germany is calling for a windfall tax on oil companies at the EU level to relieve citizens from high energy prices. The measure is debated within the German government due to legal concerns and the need for unanimous EU member state agreement. Lowering electricity tax or direct payments are alternative discussions.
