September 17, 2021 - Sunday - Live stream of the RWE Tribunal in Essen
The Federal Association of Citizens' Initiatives Environmental Protection (BBU) points out that on Saturday (September 18.9.21th, 12st) a protest action will take place at the (atomic) research center in Jülich. The action is directed against any research to promote nuclear energy and against the export of NRW nuclear waste to the USA. The meeting point is at XNUMX noon at the "Forschungszentrum Jülich" train stop.
A two-day RWE tribunal also begins on Saturday in Essen. On the agenda are personnel and structural interdependencies and economic dependencies between the energy company RWE and local politics. The connections between extreme weather conditions and RWE are also discussed, and numerous witnesses and experts are heard.
The venue for the tribunal is the Center for Cooperation and Inclusion, Karl-Denkhaus-Str. 11, 45329 Essen - Altenessen. (From Essen - Hauptbahnhof in just 10 minutes with the U17 or U11, to the "Altenessen Mitte" underground station, then a 5-minute walk).
Detailed information on both events can be found below https://www.westcastor.org as well as under https://www.rwe-tribunal.org.

Climate Crisis: The Cost of Inaction
The energy and climate newsreel: An uncritical and poorly prepared candidate survey, a hunger strike for the climate and a digitizer who rejects science in Laschet's future team
That was a very strange moderation of the three-way battle between the chancellor candidates, which ZDF and ARD broadcast on Sunday at prime time. Germany appeared as a lonely island in the vast universe, hermetically sealed against all influences from the distant galaxies beyond the Rhine, Oder and Alps.
Not a single foreign policy issue was addressed, neither the completely disastrous war in Afghanistan, which according to the UN has claimed almost 2009 civilian lives since 20.000, nor the dramatic situation at the EU's external borders, nor the ongoing EU crisis. It all seems to have nothing to do with the politics of the current or future federal government...

solar energy
Solar energy is the energy of solar radiation that can be used technically in the form of electrical current, heat or chemical energy. Solar radiation is the electromagnetic radiation that arises on the solar surface as black body radiation due to its temperature of approx. 5500 ° C, which is ultimately due to nuclear fusion processes in the sun's interior (hydrogen burning).
Solar energy can be used both directly (e.g. with photovoltaic systems or solar collectors) and indirectly (e.g. by means of hydropower plants, wind turbines and in the form of biomass) ...

Space-based solar energy
Space-based solar power (SBSP) is a proposed method to collect solar energy in space and transfer it to the earth.
A significant part of the incoming solar radiation (55–60%) is lost on its way through the earth's atmosphere through effects such as reflection and absorption. Space-based solar power systems would convert sunlight outside of the atmosphere into microwaves and emit these to the earth. This would avoid the losses and - if designed appropriately - the downtime caused by the earth's rotation, but with extremely high capital expenditures for the transport of material into orbit. Orbital solar power plants are considered a form of renewable energy. Various concepts have been discussed since the early 1970s, but none of them make economic sense with today's launch vehicles, mainly because ground-based power plants generate electricity at a fraction of the cost. All designs work with radiation energy densities that would not be harmful if people were exposed for a short period of time. The enormous size of the receiving antennas required would, however, require large, flat (ie mostly agricultural) areas in the vicinity of the end consumer.
As of 2020, studies and experiments on the feasibility of such projects are being actively carried out by Japan, China and the USA, among others, in Japan because of the rejection of nuclear power plants in broad sections of the population, in China and the USA because of long-term strategic considerations, especially by the military ...
