"One of the most important solutions is the departure from coal, oil, and gas, that is, from fossil energy sources," says Tilman Santarius, professor of social-ecological transformation and sustainable digitalization at TU Berlin. The most optimistic summary according to Santarius: "There are enough solutions to overcome man-made climate change. And they are often inexpensive and often come with a higher quality of life. We just have to tackle it." Even though it is clear that climate protection is associated with changes that affect the daily lives of many people: "For example, as societies we have various fossil dependencies in which we are trapped," Santarius notes. "Dependence on Russian gas or American liquefied gas, dependencies on the infrastructures that surround us, gas stations, shopping centers on the outskirts of the city, where you can only get there by car. We are also partly entangled in our behavioral habits." Also regarding the upcoming climate negotiations in Turkish Antalya, Tilman Santarius says: "The federal government would be best advised to first prevent the rollback." However, electrification should not be a distraction to delay the exit plan for fossil energy sources, Santarius emphasizes. However, electrification already makes sense without renewables, as it is more efficient, says Santarius: "We have already made small progress, even if electrification has not yet happened with renewables." #Klimaschutz #ErneuerbareEnergien #Klimakonferenz (translated)

The author described this as economic madness and wrote that it is incomprehensible that the measure has not yet been revoked. #Tankstelle #Dieselpreise #Verkehr (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that there have been fuel shortages at several gas stations in the Rhineland. In Siegburg, the premium fuel Ultimate was sold out at Aral; at times, diesel and Super E10 were also missing. Additionally, shortages were reported by Aral and TotalEnergies in Rommerskirchen. As possible causes, Boeminghaus mentioned the persistent low water levels of the Rhine and high demand. On October 19, the water level in Cologne was at 54 centimeters and in Bonn at 71 centimeters, which means cargo ships could transport less fuel. At the same time, he referred to the assessment of the industry association en2x, which stated that overall supply is secure and no permanent or widespread shortages are currently expected. Boeminghaus doubted that the situation could be attributed solely to the Rhine. https://t.co/TofCKalbh3 #Rhein #Spritmangel #Deutschland (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht praised a WELT article by Thomas Schulze and Claudia Wittig regarding the peace proposal from BSW and AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and shared excerpts from it. The federal government was accused of allocating funds for Ukraine while cutting back on pensions, care, and health services. Wagenknecht also referred to the state elections on September 6, stating that the current politics had been voted out. The proposal, which was to be introduced the following Wednesday, called for peace negotiations and a willingness to compromise. Wagenknecht described it as a historic step and the end of the "firewall," stating that it should send a signal for more diplomacy and less weaponry. Saxony-Anhalt needed to carry the peace policy to the Bundesrat; The Left also had to decide whether to support the proposal. Wagenknecht argued that Germany had already allocated around 100 billion euros for the war and claimed that Ukraine had blown up Nord Stream. She called for an end to sanctions against Russia and a return to Russian oil and gas. According to her, the Ukraine policy and the economic war against Russia were harming citizens, municipalities, and the economy in Saxony-Anhalt, including the chemical triangle, small and medium-sized enterprises, and households. #Frieden #SachsenAnhalt #Politik (translated)
