wollen, ist eine industriepolitische Irrfahrt. Die FDP sitzt am Steuer und gibt die Richtung vor. Grüne und SPD müssen jetzt dafür sorgen, dass ein anderer Weg eingeschlagen wird. Die FDP hat die sinnvollen Teile des Solarpakets als Pfand genutzt, um Druck in der Klimapolitik zu machen – auch hier für die falsche Seite. Die Ampel macht daher einen mächtigen Schritt rückwärts. Sie entledigt sich...

ihre Konten lenken können. So kaufte Deutschland 2023 zum Beispiel für 7,75 Milliarden Euro 60 schwere US-Transporthubschrauber des Typ CH-47F Chinook des Herstellers Boeing. Fragen, ob und wie sinnvoll in den Zeiten des Kampfdrohnenkriegs gerade diese Rüstungsanschaffung ist, wurden nicht gestellt. Die angestrebte Kriegstüchtigkeit besteht offenbar vor allem in der Förderung der Profite von...

Problem ist nicht, wer die Fehler gemacht hat, sondern die militärische Strategie und die Verfahren, die es ermöglichen, dass sich diese Fehler immer wiederholen.« Unabhängige Untersuchungen und sinnvolle, messbare Veränderungen vor Ort seien nun erforderlich, sagte Guterres. »196 humanitäre Helfer wurden getötet, und wir wollen wissen, warum jeder einzelne getötet wurde.« * 6.

In order to better assess the risk, future studies should focus on specific areas of the body. “We looked at the blood work. In a next step, it would make sense to investigate the occurrence of PFAS in individual organs,” says Breteler. In addition, ongoing projects to remove PFAS chemicals from the environment must be pushed forward. *...

Electrification more important than hydrogen? Which technologies enable the energy transition in Europe Energy mix: Researchers have investigated how the scarce electricity from renewable energies can be used most sensibly and efficiently. Accordingly, the direct use of “green” electricity is more efficient and suitable for more areas than using the electricity for...
Because we need solar panels. But this is a mass product. We might as well subsidize warm sweaters if you don't want to be dependent on China in the winter. That would make just as much sense. Are you not worried that China will stop deliveries to Europe, for example to exert political pressure over Taiwan? Yes, but that doesn't mean that we have solar modules in...
Throwaway mentality. By law, Brussels plans to grant consumers the “right to repair”. Representatives of the EU states have finally agreed on this. That's good and makes sense: 35 million tons of waste accumulate in Europe every year because products are not repaired but replaced with new goods. Now the new specifications won't cover every single ton of it...
"Die than to abstain from meat" show how the majority behaves - "and that's what we orientate ourselves on, even if such behavior is pilloried." Therefore, it would make sense to use trend forecasts or address dynamic norms. “When it comes to meat consumption, it could be reported that the majority still eats meat, but more and more are finding a taste for meat-free...
which needs to be answered to a question that is currently trickling into the public debate: Should the AfD be banned? Would that even be legally possible? Would it make political sense to initiate such a procedure? A party ban procedure, as it has become anchored in political memory, is a cumbersome instrument tied to extremely strict conditions. 2003...
or equal to zero. Negative electricity prices occur when either wind turbines or photovoltaic systems - sometimes both together - generate so much electricity that it can no longer be used sensibly. Then wholesale electricity buyers are paid for it. Especially when demand for electricity is low on weekends and public holidays, prices can fall far into the red... *...
side of history. What Israel is doing to Palestinian civilians in Gaza – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, a major organization in the Israel lobby, puts it: "The scale of the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties is almost...
put to the test. It should be examined whether microelectronics could be subsidized from sources other than the climate fund and whether the electricity tax reduction really makes sense as planned. Third: suspending the debt brake. There are sufficient justifications for this. The Federal Constitutional Court delivered them itself in its 2021 climate judgment. Climate protection is...
THTR Circular No. 156, December 2023
for this gigantic project. Alternatives Up to $2040 billion will be needed by 190, which gives a rough idea of the planned dimensions. It would certainly make more sense to at least wait for the experience of smaller hydrogen projects in Namibia before embarking on this large-scale project. Basically it would be...
Anti-intellectualism and propaganda dominate both popular and much of the so-called expert discussion. An air of hysteria and menace hangs over any attempt at meaningful discussion – including discussion of best practices for supporting children that differ from a fixation on online surveillance. It will...

have to submit to the wishes and demands of the military. However, a few things were already completely clear to the strategists back then: Nuclear power plants for generating electricity do not make economic sense: they are too dangerous, too expensive and because of the insanely high costs for disposal, they are simply not competitive... But if the electricity and the materials for... the bomb in the same process...
Nominations selected... * Electrolysis | green hydrogen | Hydrogen import How expensive will green hydrogen be? Domestic H2 production would be cheaper than importing it by ship. It also makes economic sense: According to new analyses, green hydrogen from Germany could be more cost-effective than importing H2 by ship. Accordingly, the supply costs for products produced in this country...

In this respect, the only meaningful debate can only consist of measuring them against the specific challenges and exposing the emptiness of their answers... * Media | Journalists | Enlightenment Do we have to...
becomes a luxury item and heat waves restrict freedom of movement. The question is being asked more and more frequently as to the extent to which global warming can be stopped and whether it would make more sense to invest resources and innovations in adapting to the changing climate conditions on earth. However, this question ignores the fact that there is no either/or; so either...
broadcasting. Research coordinator Felix Matthes finds Spahn's argument misleading: All installed fossil energy systems make achieving the climate goals much more difficult. The expert emphasizes that it makes sense to change course now. The shutdown of the last three nuclear power plants in Germany resulted in more coal being burned, saving Germany 15 to 20 million...
