Priit Sibul has raised concerns regarding Estonia's carbon quota trading system, highlighting that the country's balance appears to be in a deep financial deficit. While the Ministry of Climate claims that Estonia has benefited from around two billion euros through the Emissions Trading System (ETS), which has been used for infrastructure projects, Sibul argues that this accounting lacks transparency and fails to fully represent the system's burden on the economy. He suggests that a true accounting should include not only financial gains but also losses incurred by the society due to the system.

Sibal criticizes the argument made by the Ministry of Climate's chancellor, Marten Kokk, who defends the ETS by pointing to financial gains such as rail construction and building renovations. According to Sibul, such assertions neglect the negative aspects of the ETS and the transfer of wealth it implies. The revenue generated through the ETS doesn’t create new resources for the state; instead, it redistributes already existing funds, causing financial strain on consumers and businesses alike.

In insisting on the need for better transparency, Sibul calls for a comprehensive report that includes the costs borne by consumers and the overall vulnerability of the Estonian energy system due to the ETS regulations. The implications of his statements suggest a growing concern regarding how climate policies are affecting the local economy and the public's financial health, emphasizing the importance of reviewing such systems critically to avoid undermining national interests and energy independence.
