The author reported from the Bundestag that bestselling author Frank Schätzing recommended to the members of parliament a master plan that they should present to the EU Parliament. Schätzing advocated for an end to fossil combustion and a complete energy supply from renewable sources by 2030. #ErneuerbareEnergien #Klimaschutz #Bundestag #DE #EU (translated)

Climate_Inform referred to an NDR article and wrote that the CDU/CSU had already significantly delayed the expansion of the grid under Angela Merkel. The decision from 2015, made at the request of the Union to use more expensive underground cables, had further increased the delays. Robert Habeck later approved numerous routes and initiated the construction; nonetheless, according to Climate_Inform, the expansion of the grid is about ten years behind. Due to the delayed expansion, cheaper electricity from renewable energies must be curtailed more often, resulting in billions of losses for electricity customers, the author wrote. He blamed the CDU/CSU for high electricity prices and accused the Minister of Economics, Reiche, of slowing down the expansion of wind and solar energy instead of accelerating the grid expansion and allowing more construction activities to take place in parallel. Climate_Inform also wrote that the CDU/CSU were working against Germans and German companies and that the AfD wanted to further restrict the expansion of renewable energies. In conclusion, the author asked why people chose such parties and what their voters wanted to achieve. #Netzausbau #ErneuerbareEnergien #CDUCSU (translated)

Hart wrote that Schleswig-Holstein, under Daniel Günther, has an almost fossil-free power supply. He argued that this creates the prerequisite for cheap electricity and advocated for renewable energies instead of gas and oil. https://t.co/f9x7CjTFaq #SchleswigHolstein #erneuerbareEnergien #nachhaltigkeit (translated)

Ben Jamin wrote that the two 1,000 MW reactors of the Indian Point nuclear power plant had been in operation for 45 years each. In the foreground, the entire spent nuclear fuel generated during this time could be seen. A facility of this kind could reliably supply around 4,500,000 households with CO₂-free electricity around the clock on an area of 1 km², regardless of darkness and weather conditions such as calm, storms, hail, snow, or frost, he explained. #Kernenergie #ErneuerbareEnergien #Stromversorgung (translated)

Lower Austria is increasingly becoming a state for solar energy in addition to wind energy; this hybrid park is a model for other projects in the region. This way, we can further strengthen the security of supply in our country with domestic electricity. Support also comes from the state; Andreas Minnich, a member of the National Council representing Governor Mikl-Leitner, emphasizes: “Lower Austria is increasingly becoming a state for solar energy in addition to wind energy; this hybrid park is a model for other projects in the region. This way, we can further strengthen the security of supply in our country with domestic electricity.” #Solarpark #ErneuerbareEnergien #Niederösterreich (translated)

Wind and sun complement each other perfectly. "Wind and sun complement each other perfectly. That is why we are increasingly thinking about all our energy sites across technologies," says Markus Winter, Chief Technology Officer of Windkraft Simonsfeld. #Solarpark #ErneuerbareEnergien #Niederösterreich (translated)

SAKI 🗯 compared the energy mix in Germany and Norway: Germany sources about 52 percent of its energy from renewable sources, while Norway sources about 99 percent. The author stated an average price of 41 cents per kilowatt-hour for Germany and 16 cents for Norway. He wrote that the Union wants to increasingly rely on fossil fuels again, which in his view would further increase prices. #ErneuerbareEnergien #Strompreis #Klimaschutz (translated)

Morlock No. 2 wrote that the green energy transition introduced by the CDU is picking up speed. He ironically noted that now not only the wind and sun, but also the provider no longer sends a bill. https://t.co/jkKkeDCnIN #Energiewende #ErneuerbareEnergien #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)

The author of the article wrote that global warming is accelerating. According to the RKI, last summer's heatwave caused 16,000 deaths in Germany and, according to the DIW, costs of 40 billion euros. Moreover, he accused Minister Reiche of hindering what he considered necessary and successful expansion of renewable energies, calling it irresponsible. https://t.co/6ELjaEbnan #Erderwärmung #Klimaschutz #ErneuerbareEnergien #DE (translated)

Stefan Energie Chiemgau/Outdoor Chiemgau wrote that the CEOs of EON and 50Hertz have stated, with years of delay, that the energy transition is not working in its current form. He quoted their warning that the energy transition threatens to choke on its own success and called for a halt to the strong increase in wind power and photovoltaics. https://t.co/VPJBsNNhK2 #Energiewende #Windenergie #ErneuerbareEnergien (translated)

EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen emphasizes the need to make Europe independent from fossil fuels by increasing energy generation from local renewable sources and making energy supply within the EU more efficient. #Energieunabhängigkeit #ErneuerbareEnergien #EUEnergiepolitik (translated)

Renewable associations criticize the nearly completed "Battery Delay Regulation" (SNE-G-V) due to strict rules for battery storage, which they believe could jeopardize the implementation of important projects and have negative effects on grid flexibility and electricity costs. #Batteriespeicher #ErneuerbareEnergien #Netzentgelte (translated)

Flood 🇪🇺 With Facts noted it is remarkable that the Greens are being blamed for high energy prices. According to him, the party is most committed to the expansion of affordable renewable energies, while the Union has been hindering this for 20 years and maintains high prices with its dependence on gas. https://t.co/g8bLjaXDPS #ErneuerbareEnergien #Politik #Umweltschutz (translated)
