Default German Nuclear fuel tax 'formally unconstitutional'

"Germany's tax on nuclear fuel was designed 'to siphon off the profits
of the nuclear power plant operators', judges in Hamburg have ruled. The
tax exceeds government competence and contradicts the country's
constitution".

Not hard to exceed government competence, is it, these days?
