Pulling the energy transition cart out of the mudInstead of complaining, a lot of self-criticism would be appropriate. Work through the mistakes we have made. We need completely new ways of presenting the energy transition and climate protection.
I'll be on Helge Stark's Talk am Sonntag today from 19:00 on Sunday, February 9, 2025. Subscribers to his channel can ask questions during the show.
How have I felt watching the energy transition for decades? Like a chess master who has to watch a beginner's game in horror and can't intervene. The beginner is resistant to advice and keeps saying "I have no alternative, therefore I win" and just places his queen in front of an opponent's pawn in such a way that it will be captured on the next move. On Thursday, I gave the presentation "Energy-optimized residential areas as the big comeback of the EFH" at the Salzburg Building Fair. Here to the video. On the way out, I stopped by the Salzburg state government stand. I was horrified to discover that there is no longer a higher housing subsidy for better houses, €8,000 more housing subsidy for a house with better energy efficiency simply gone. There is currently a movement in the West to restrict the development of renewable energy. What do the fans of renewable energy say? Exactly the same as when I first visited the Eurosolar meeting in Vienna in 1993: we are surrounded by enemies, we are the only good guys. With this attitude, nothing could be further from the truth than looking for your own mistakes, finding them and coming to terms with them. With the simple statement "They are paid by the fossil fuel lobby", you absolve yourself of any responsibility to have presented your own project better. You also absolve yourself of the responsibility of explaining it well to these "they are paid by the fossil fuel lobby" because it is pointless anyway.
USA exited, Argentina is considering exiting, Indonesia exited. If the 3 are out, this could trigger a domino effect. This agreement was designed by bureaucrats who believe in the omnipotence of regulations. That belief is now beginning to crumble badly. September 2010, I gave my keynote speech at the WEIS - World Emerging Industries Summit in Changchun: restructuring the tax system to activate the full creativity of the free market economy to solve our problems by taxing resources instead of profit and labor. Back in Europe, I drafted the PEGE Manifesto: this was a proposal for the 2010 climate conference in Cancún, Mexico. What was celebrated as a major breakthrough at the 2016 climate conference in Paris was in reality the beginning of the inevitable end. The model students of the climate agreement became economic stragglers, a cautionary tale: strangulation instead of triggering an avalanche of investment - triggering an economic boom.
What can you do in this situation? Definitely not moan about the evil, evil, overpowering opponent. With this attitude, Tesla and the Chinese electric car industry would not exist and we would have already had to read in 2020: "All the big car companies are stopping the production of electric cars again because the evil bad consumer didn't want to pay €50,000 for small cars with a range of 150 km". Instead of complaining, a lot of self-criticism would be appropriate. Work through the mistakes we have made. We need completely new ways of presenting the energy transition and climate protection. See my presentation at the Salzburg Building Fair, see my program with Helge Stark this evening. Let's make it a reality: in 2027, politicians and industrialists from all over the world will visit the factory hall and the model development in Unken, and in 2028, factory halls will be built worldwide to produce GEMINI next generation houses. I need a ridiculous €4 million for this. It really is absolutely ridiculous. Lilium was bankrupt and then a new investor stepped in with 400 million. Doesn't a major investor like that have entire scientific teams to assess? No. See my comment at this video: It's two simple formulas, basic stuff from physics class.
Net zero emissions means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that nature can supposedly absorb for a long time. For the rich, this means Maintain poverty, cause poverty, so that enough emission rights remain for the rich. See the architect and her opinion that Africans don't need roads.
Planetary cleanup back to 350 ppm CO2 means around 47,000 TWh of electricity to filter 1 ppm CO2 from the atmosphere and recycle it into carbon and oxygen. Who can afford that? Only a rich human race, 10 billion people in prosperity can do it. One million km² of energy-optimized settlement areas alone should contribute 150,000 TWh for the necessary electricity for world-wide prosperity and planetary restoration.
It's not about whether the shares will be worth 10 times or 100 times more in 20 years' time or whether they will only be worth a few cents. It's about the future of us all. Will there be a big showdown between eco-fascism and yesterday's fossils, or will it be possible to overcome the deep divisions in society and inspire supporters of both sides to work towards a great new goal? Global prosperity and planetary restoration instead of saving, restricting, renouncing and climate catastrophe or peak oil and a little more climate catastrophe. Both sides must be convinced that they have no solution that is even remotely viable. On the one hand, it must be shown that net-zero emissions are a completely inadequate target and that the goal must instead be a planetary clean-up back to 350 ppm CO2. The other side must be shown that solar power enables a higher standard of living than fossil energy. It's about survival! The social situation in 2024 compared to 2004. Extrapolating that to 2044 makes for a horror world! If we are successful and your shares are worth 100 times more, this is just an addition to all the other achievements. One new shareholder said, "Me with my very modest investment", but €4,000 times €1,000 is also €4 million for all investments up to the opening of the settlement in Unken as a starting point for global expansion. There is a reward program for recommending the share to others. Two of the new shareholders have become shareholders through this reward program. Here are the details.
My studies on off-grid fast-charging settlements have already resulted in initial contact and a video conference with the CEO of a major African company. The most important statements: "There are about 2 million homes missing" and "Solar-powered cement factories are a fascinating new idea". Initial negotiations are underway with two financing platforms. There are several chances of an event that could lead to a jump in the share price. At today's share price, € 2 million would be 10,000 packages at € 200 and 300,000 shares for the buyer. However, if these € 2 million are only worth 20% of the AG, this would logically result in a very significant jump in the share price. |
