Der vormalige Minister, Gaukler und Trickbetrüger Karl Lauterbach preist heute sieben Drittwelt- und Kleinstaaten als Vorbilder für die Energiewende an. Kein einziges davon ist ein Industrieland. Kein einziges davon nutzt nennenswert Windkraft. Nur eines davon hat einen erwähnenswerten Anteil Solar. Der ganze Strom dort kommt aus Staudämmen und heißen Quellen. #Energiewende #Klimaschutz #Nachhaltigkeit
Grüne vor 25 Jahren: "Wir müssen ganz viele PV-Anlagen bauen, dann wird Strom billig. Die Sonne liefert kostenlos. " 👉🏼 Strompreis steigt. Grüne vor 20 Jahren: "Achso, nachts scheint ja keine Sonne. Wir müssen daher Windkraftanlagen bauen, die auch nachts laufen, DANN wird Strom billig. 👉🏼 Strompreis steigt. Grüne vor 15 Jahren: "Hmm, der Windstrom ist zu ungleich verteilt. Baut mehr Anlagen im Süden, noch paar Trassen dazu, noch mehr PV, alles subventionieren. Dann, ja dann, Freunde, wird der Strom endlich günstig." 👉🏼 Strompreis steigt. Grüne vor 5 Jahren: "Jetzt ist es klar, der teure Atomstrom war schuld, der verstopft obendrein die Netze. Reißt die letzten Anlagen ab, dann werden die Strompreise ins Bodenlose stürzen, alles wird gut." 👉🏼 Strompreis steigt. Grüne heute: "BATTERIEN!!! Batteriespeicher werden all unsere Probleme lösen. Und Wasserstoff. Jaaa, endlich wird es auf Jahrzehnte sagenhaft günstigen Strom geben. 👉🏼 Völlig unklar was passieren wird 😉 #Energiepolitik #Strompreise #ErneuerbareEnergien
The convicted wind power fraudster Hendrik Holt, who originally cheated millions from companies and allowed a TV crew to accompany him during his imprisonment, is now on the run and has apparently left his wife and child behind. (translated)
China has successfully tested a flying wind turbine that generates electricity at an altitude of 4000 meters. (translated)
The Schwarz Group plans to build a data center with a capacity of 240 megawatts in Dummerstorf near Rostock by 2033 for 5.6 billion euros to promote digital sovereignty and position itself as a European alternative to large cloud providers, with the location benefiting from the availability of sustainable wind energy.

Windkraft verändert das Wetter: Offshore-Parks sorgen für weniger Regen an den Küsten Studiet af Akhtar, Elizalde, Geyer og Schrum blev offentliggjort i Communications Earth & Environment den 12. august 2026. Forskerne brugte et regionalt klimamodel-setup til at simulere offshore-vindmøller i Nordvesteuropa under scenarier for 2023, 2030 og et meget omfattende udbygningsscenarie efter 2050. I det sidstnævnte scenarie fandt modellen: * op til 2–3 m/s lavere vindhastighed næroverfladen * mere nedbør over vindmølleparkerne * omkring 10–12 % mindre nedbør i vissekystområder i Tyskland, Nederlandeneog Storbritannien * over 15 % mindre i dele af Jylland, isærved sydvestlige vinde https://report24.news/windkraft-veraendert-das-wetter-offshore-parks-sorgen-fuer-weniger-regen-an-den-kuesten/ Projected impacts of future offshore wind farms on coastal precipitation over the Northwest European shelf https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-026-03852-x
The consortium has decided to write off the planned hydrogen plant in Burgenland, as there are doubts about energy independence by 2030 and important regulatory frameworks for the project are lacking, while Burgenland Energie continues to focus on the expansion of wind power and photovoltaics. (translated)
The Suedlink, a 700-kilometer long power line connecting wind farms in Schleswig-Holstein with southern Germany, has now crossed the Elbe, with the completion of the entire infrastructure project aimed for the end of 2028 to meet the increasing electricity demand with renewable energies. (translated)
«Wir sehen aber, dass die Bundesregierung derzeit beim Ausbau der Windkraft vor allem im Süden Sand ins Getriebe schüttet.»
Markus Winter, the Chief Technology Officer of Windkraft Simonsfeld, explains that the construction of wind power plants today takes significantly longer due to massive pushback and emphasizes the need for a faster transition to renewable energies while discussing the role of disinformation and political obstacles. (translated)
Austria is currently struggling with extreme heat and water shortages, which is leading to a one-third decrease in electricity production, while the energy sector is calling for an accelerated expansion of wind power, but several federal states are refusing, while State Secretary Elisabeth Zehetner is addressing the issue live. (translated)
RWE receives 1.2 billion dollars from the US government to forgo the construction of offshore wind farms and instead invests in fossil fuels, which casts a bad light on the climate rhetoric of CEO Markus Krebber and highlights the toxic collaboration between the fossil industry and state power to maintain the old energy order. (translated)
According to the current Lazard report, wind power and photovoltaics remain the cheapest new sources of electricity in the USA, although costs for all technologies are rising. (translated)
The article highlights the political dispute over the construction of seven wind turbines in the Teutoburg Forest, which the AfD uses for its anti-wind energy agenda by linking the conflict with issues of home and culture and warning of the possible negative effects of their energy policy, while experts warn not only of higher emissions and rising electricity prices but also point out that the party is primarily concerned with political mobilization. (translated)
The Trump administration is paying the German energy company RWE 1.2 billion dollars to abandon all wind power projects off the U.S. coasts, which represents the fifth and so far largest agreement this year to halt offshore wind power development. (translated)
The German energy company RWE has abandoned its offshore wind power projects off the US coast and has withdrawn from them in a settlement with the US government for around 1.2 billion US dollars, as permitting is not expected to be feasible in the foreseeable future, prompting RWE to instead invest in liquefied natural gas projects. (translated)
The Trump administration has made an agreement with the German energy company RWE, costing the company $1.22 billion, to abandon its plans for offshore wind power projects in the U.S., as the U.S. government actively hinders the expansion of renewable energy. (translated)
Even China has reached its peak in emissions in 2024 (that's where your numbers end ...) and has since had values below that. The energy transition is happening there too. 23 percent increase in wind power capacity and 33 percent increase in solar power in 2025. (translated)
Der Backbone der Klimaneutralität 2045 ist nicht Windkraft, nicht Photovoltaik, und schon gar nicht Batterien. Es ist Wasserstoff. Genauer gesagt, es war Wasserstoff. Habt ihr auch die vielen Erfolgsmeldungen in den letzten Monaten gehört, über riesige, mit gratis Sonnenstrom betriebene Elektrolyseure? Über die Umrüstung von Stahlwerken auf Wasserstoff? Über die neuen LKW, Busse und Stadtbahnen, die überall klimaneutral im Einsatz sind? Nein? Ich auch nicht. (h/t @ergroovt) #Wasserstoff #Klimaneutralität #Energiewende
