Ulrich Vosgerau stated that forests are being extensively cleared to install wind turbines. Their massive concrete bases remain permanently in the ground and seal it, which he described as an ecological disaster. In addition, wide clearings are being made for trucks to access the facilities, even though, according to him, the fire department cannot extinguish burning wind turbines. #Umweltschutz #Nachhaltigkeit #Energiepolitik (translated)

As part of the so-called green gas quota, operators will also be allowed to mix blue hydrogen into the gas network, meaning hydrogen that is obtained from fossil natural gas - at a high energy cost. And that basically says everything about the absurd energy policy of this government. (translated)

The author wrote that the further softening of the combustion engine phase-out is not a success for Germany and Europe, but will have negative long-term effects on German car manufacturers. As a result, they will lose competitiveness and fall further behind technologically. #Umweltschutz #Automobilindustrie #Energiepolitik #DE #EU (translated)

The author wrote that Economic Minister Katherina Reiche is reviving Habeck's heating law and is relying on "green gas." He claimed that there is too little of it, it is too expensive, and it burns the residents' wealth in the heating cellar. Furthermore, he accused Reiche of talking to the right, acting green, and profiting from it. #Heizungsgesetz #Energiepolitik #Klimaschutz #DE (translated)

Markus Frohnmaier criticized that Rolf Mützenich of the SPD objected to the AfD's wish to lift the sanctions against Russia and called the hope for cheaper fuel "nonsense." Frohnmaier asked if the SPD's plan was to keep everything as it is until gasoline costs three euros per liter. He wrote that the AfD wanted affordable energy again and was elected for that reason. #Bundestag #Energiepolitik #AfD (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that the EU had specified which cars would no longer be allowed to be newly purchased starting in 2035. Germany and France were now negotiating the extent to which cars with internal combustion engines should still be permitted. In his opinion, people should be able to decide for themselves which car they bought. However, if that were the case, there would be nothing left to negotiate and the EU bureaucrats would not be needed, he added sarcastically. #Energiepolitik #EU #Umweltschutz (translated)

The author wrote that Germany and France confirmed on Friday that they aim to jointly seek a softening of the ban on new internal combustion engine vehicles scheduled for 2035. The project still needs to be approved by the EU. https://t.co/ZTskPmzVZm #Umweltschutz #Energiepolitik #EU #DE #FR #EU (translated)

Lexa wrote that Alice Weidel criticized the energy and security policy of recent years in the Bundestag and stated that the economic war against Russia was costing Germany more than it was bringing in. Anton Hofreiter then referred to Weidel as a Russian agent residing in Switzerland. Lexa assessed the interjection as a sign that the Greens were running out of arguments. After years of sanctions, dependency on LNG, and significantly increased industrial prices, they resorted, in his opinion, to personal attacks instead. Weidel responded appropriately with her laughter and demand for ironic applause, Lexa wrote. That Bodo Ramelow must examine whether Hofreiter's statement in Parliament was appropriate, according to Lexa, shows the state of the debate culture. In his view, the Greens and their allies replaced foreign policy realpolitik with moral defamation. Lexa wrote that one could only laugh at the Greens now. #Bundestag #Energiepolitik #Debattenkultur (translated)

I'm tired of pretending that the serious issue of methane emissions doesn't exist. Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) told Handelsblatt: "I'm tired of pretending that the serious issue of methane emissions doesn't exist." #Methanverordnung #Klimaschutz #Energiepolitik (translated)

We must secure our energy supply, and we fear that our energy security is threatened by the methane regulation. At the meeting of the EU Energy Council, Reiche said: "We must secure our energy supply, and we fear that our energy security is threatened by the methane regulation." #Methanverordnung #Klimaschutz #Energiepolitik (translated)

Thomas Eisenhuth stated that his commentary on green energy policy in Austria in the current issue of a business magazine has provoked criticism from green activists. The critics accused him of spreading sensational claims about an alleged deindustrialization, as seen in right-wing media. His statements regarding efficient fossil energies and nuclear power were deemed unacceptable in light of an imminent apocalypse, Eisenhuth summarized the criticism. He explained that a third party had conveyed this to him in writing. The critics also demanded a classification of his person and his fact-based statements so that people would not critically question green energy policy. Eisenhuth wrote that he laughed heartily at the criticism. #Politik #Energie #Bildung (translated)

"My message to the finance ministers here regarding Ukraine is to stay the course on tough economic sanctions against Russia, especially regarding a stricter ban on shipping services that enable Putin's sanction-breaking shadow fleet."
