IMHO

A prime example of the nuclear lobby's new communication strategy; they talk about oil, gas and coal, but neither the evil word "atomic power" and the nice substitute word "nuclear power" are used once.

Herds of "colorful" elephants are led through the hall by linguists.

The expansion of "renewables and new technologies" is first vehemently demanded, but then the "renewables" are only communicated as the problem par excellence. "Renewables" use so much critical materials and "rare earths" and because they are so efficient, they result in huge tax losses...

CO2 | CCS

Climate neutrality up to 2045

May 18, 2021 - Prohibit CO2 emissions by law

The Climate Neutrality Foundation proposes rules to end oil, gas and coal. This should make the exit cheaper and investments safer.

The federal government has decided that Germany must be climate-neutral by 2045. But she has not yet published any idea on how the exit from oil, coal and gas that is necessary for this should take place. The Climate Neutrality Foundation is now presenting a concept for this: According to this, Parliament would have to change the laws as quickly as possible so that the use of fossil fuels in industry, transport, buildings and the energy sector would be banned after December 31, 2044...

Climate neutrality in Germany

In order to be able to make an appropriate contribution to reaching the 1,5 degree limit, Germany will have to switch to a climate-neutral energy system by around 2035. In October 2020, the researchers at the Wuppertal Institute examined in the study "CO2-neutral by 2035: Key points of a German contribution to compliance with the 1,5 ° C limit" which transformation steps and speeds are necessary to achieve this goal . The study, which the research team developed for Fridays for Future Germany with financial support from GLS Bank, comes to the conclusion that a climate-neutral energy system by 2035 would be very ambitious, but basically feasible, provided that all possible strategies from today's perspective are bundled. On the basis of existing energy scenarios and further considerations, the researchers concentrated on how CO2 neutrality could be implemented by 2035, especially in the energy, industry, transport and buildings sectors ...

Inconsistent energy policy

Independent process of the energy transition 

By and large, the energy transition has been successful since 2011, not because of, but in spite of Angela Merkel's energy policy. Started half-heartedly by politics, badly planned, repeatedly delayed and slowed down, it has developed into a largely independent process.

When the black-and-yellow government reversed its extension after Fukushima, it limited itself to shutting down old reactors and initiating an 11-year-long schedule for the nuclear phase-out, which, while keeping the unreasonable demands of the German nuclear companies low, at the same time unites the German population exposed to the dangers of atomic energy for another decade. The nuclear phase-out was not included in the Basic Law, the atomic factories in Gronau and Lingen, nuclear research and research reactors were excluded from the nuclear phase-out, the Euratom Treaty has not yet been terminated.

Framework conditions for the energy transition were hardly set. Nevertheless, the use of renewable energies has progressed faster than expected, simply because the time was right for it.
