1. Newsletter V 2024 - January 28th to February 3rd - Current news + US foreign policy: Profit over peace?

    the upper end of the tower receives concentrated solar energy. The energy is used to heat a liquid mixture of salts. Salts can reach high temperatures and store thermal energy for long periods of time. The hot liquid is then used to generate steam, which is used to power a turbine like in conventional coal, gas and nuclear power plants...

  2. Newsletter XXXIX 2023 - September 24th to 30th - News+ “Populist, verbally radical, ethnic” – and no end in sight

    There will be no acceptance for climate policy projects. Before the federal election, the Greens, but also the SPD and FDP, had promised financial compensation for higher costs for fuel and fossil thermal energy. In the coalition agreement they announced a “social compensation mechanism” that they call climate money. The idea: Citizens receive a fixed amount as compensation for...

    US Navy passes there - both to the annoyance of Beijing. A large espionage base in Cuba would be a strong signal from China that it wants to emulate the Americans... * Warming | floor | Thermal energy Underestimated heat storage underground Calculations show that the thermal energy stored by land masses has increased significantly. Climate change has many effects - the...

  4. Newsletter XIX 2023 - May 7-13 - News+ Is the West turning Ukraine into a nuclear battlefield?

    Unfortunately, heat enters the oceans much more easily than, for example, sand or clay. According to a survey by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in the past few decades the world's oceans have absorbed 93 percent of the heat energy that also enters the earth's atmosphere due to the man-made greenhouse effect. At the beginning of May this year, the University of Maine published measurement data that...

  5. Newsletter XVII 2023 - April 23rd to 29th - News+ Faulty SPD, self-deception at 1,5 degrees and war as a climate destroyer

    Portions of the sun's energy are absorbed by the oceans. Why this is increasingly becoming a problem. Greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane ensure that the thermal energy that rains down from the sun to the earth day after day, hour after hour, is then converted into kinetic energy and evaporation and radiated again, does not return unhindered to the earth. ..

  6. Newsletter II 2023 - January 8th to 14th - News+ We have already won

    new heat record has been reached - they are warmer than ever before, as analyzes of measurement data show. According to this, the world's oceans absorbed around ten zettajoules more heat energy in 2022 than in 2021. This means that the oceans have now set new heat records for several years in a row. The stratification and salinity are also becoming increasingly extreme: salty sea areas...

  7. Newsletter XXV 2022 - June 18-25 - News+ Assange case: "Black day for freedom of the press"

    less electricity in autumn and winter, but a few weeks longer, with all the known risks. Our real problem is not electricity, what we are missing is gas, i.e. thermal energy, and that doesn't come from the nuclear power plants anyway... What kind of "nonsense" do the running time debaters want us to rack our brains about? ? Is there really nothing more important to discuss? For the...

  8. Newsletter VI - February 02nd to 08.02.2021th, 02 - News+ February XNUMXnd - Green electricity - Safely through the dark doldrums

    Energy can be temporarily stored. Depending on the type of power plant, storage power plants convert electrical energy into potential energy (positional energy), kinetic energy, chemical energy or thermal energy, which can be stored in this form for a certain period of time and is converted back into electrical energy when necessary. When it comes to storage and recovery, it depends...
