Economic perspectives are critical of the economic consequences of the green transition, arguing that it leads to instability and energy poverty. Skepticism exists regarding the profitability model of wind energy operators, citing a contradiction with conventional business logic, which dictates that the introduction of large volumes should drive the electricity price on the exchange close to zero.

Economic perspectives are centering on the issue of VAT on foodstuffs, highlighting the necessity of finding solutions to either change or alleviate this specific tax policy. This reflects a broader concern regarding the economic impact of the current tax regime.

The speaker advocates for a radical reallocation of state investments, demanding that billions be diverted from wind energy developers into the domestic oil shale sector and the network of combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The objective is to reduce the price of oil shale and support Estonian enterprises, prioritizing domestic production over foreign directives.

The economic perspective stresses the necessity of supporting large families through state benefits (such as subsidies for car purchases or electricity bills). Furthermore, they oppose increases in the tax burden (like the proposed car tax) and the rising cost of living. The government's spending priorities are criticized for favoring businessmen over families.
