E.ON has published an impressive calculation: The 166,000 electric cars in Germany that can already charge bidirectionally could store enough electricity to supply 1.75 million households for twelve hours.

The New Year's Eve powder vapor has been blown away by the wind and the discussion about the sense and nonsense of fireworks and firecrackers has once again been sat out by those responsible. Despite heavy media coverage, there has been no sustained reaction. The same game awaits us again at the end of the year. This means that now is the right time to take a critical look at the issue of emissions.

The Bundestag and Bundesrat have passed the Substitute Power Plant Provision Act (EKBG). This authorizes the government to limit or even ban the operation of natural gas-based power generation plants in the event of a gas shortage.

As part of the event "Kreis Energieeffizienz Oberfranken 2/2022 - Strategien für die Dekarbonisierung" on 12.07.2022 at the bayme vbm office Upper Franconia in Coburg, we had the opportunity to report on the topic of decarbonization.

The print media, internet, television and radio are flooding us with reports on highly efficient technologies that will supply us with electricity, heat, cooling and fuel from renewable energies in the future. Exciting projects with hydrogen technologies are presented on a daily basis, engines and turbines are "H2-ready" and energy efficiency measures in industry and commerce are booming, as is the decarbonization of district heating networks in cities and municipalities. One would think that the climate targets set by politicians could easily be achieved with the wide range of project activities.

Repair and recycle instead of throwing away? The massive difficulties in globally networked supply chains in the recent past clearly show us that we need completely new approaches to dealing with resources.

Natural gas - How do political decisions influence our current energy supply? The topic of natural gas as an energy source is more topical than ever. We cannot phase out the fossil fuel with the smallest CO2 footprint overnight.

Done - Formal acceptance - without defects! Complex planning and construction projects require professional management by experienced, dedicated teams equipped with state-of-the-art data systems. For us, this is the prerequisite and standard for the highest possible quality and satisfied regular customers.

"Construction of the P44/P44mod power line definitely stopped" - local opponents of the high-voltage power line celebrated the result of Tuesday's cabinet meeting in Munich with great enthusiasm.

Many older people still remember exactly what they were doing on April 26, 1986: The day when a reactor in Chernobyl, then still in the Soviet Union, blew up for all to see. But even 33 years later, only a few leading politicians around the world have understood this: Nuclear power is not a peaceful, environmentally friendly source of electricity, but an ever-present danger to humans, animals and the earth. New nuclear reactors are still being built, for example in the Czech Republic.

In Germany, CSU Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer declares that speed limits are "against all common sense". He has the support of a lung specialist paid for by Daimler. "Lobbyist Scheuer" (Lausitzer Rundschau) apparently believes he is doing something good for the local automotive "key industry".

2018 was the worst year in a long time for the so-called "energy transition" in Germany. All those who care about renewable and decentralized energy use agree on this. We are one of them, of course. That's why it's good that two fixed stars that rose in the energy sky near the turn of the year are spreading at least a little glimmer of hope.
