Ich kann mich auch nicht zwischen deutsch und Englisch entscheiden. Ich will viele erreichen weil wir brauchen die Energiewende gestern.

DIW Berlin: fossilfrei: Der Podcast zum Ampel-Monitor Energiewende Folgen Die Energiewende erscheint oft kompliziert und unübersichtlich. Die Macher des Ampel-Monitors Energiewende des DIW Berlin, Alexander und Wolf, sortieren das für euch. Wir diskutieren, auc...

1/ 🎙️Falls ihr heute vor oder nach den Demos noch Lust habt, euch ein bisschen mit der #Energiewende zu beschäftigen: in Teil 2 unseres fossilfrei-Specials „Eure Fragen, unsere Antworten“ beantworten @aroth.bsky.social & ich eure Fragen zu Elektromobilität und Wärmepumpe. Teil 3 kommt nächste Woche!

No, absolutely not, but it can be if locations are selected appropriately. In many countries it is up the farmer or landowner anyways. So what they decide to farm, is being farmed. Which opens a whole different discussion (is farming food to feed to cows really the best option?...) and so on

True.

In many locations the newly arrived extreme heat is making agriculture unviable. In such locations, it is a win win.

Solar panels provide shade & allows agriculture to continue (shade keeps soil moist that would have dried out).

Such locations are all across Italy, Spain & Greece

It is not surprising that, when you harvest two things from the same land, one output might decrease. When you grow strawberries in an apple orchard it might not be ideal for the strawberries.

Repowering also means that communities continue to benefit from nearby windfarms as operators often offer low electricity prices to them. Besides other goodies like a livable planet for their grandkids 🌱🌍

The same power plant built in 2005 produced 6MW with 3 Vestas V80 & V90

🧵Let's talk repowering! Wind energy has been around for a long time & many turbines are nearing the end of their lifespan. Re-powering means replacing old turbines with new ones thus quadrupeling the energy harvest from an area.
2 modern Vestas V150 turbines 11,2MW = electricity for 6.900 househols

Übrigens: warum die NÖN guten Journalismus aus dem Fenster werfen und diese völlig falsche Visualisierung verwenden, kann ich mir nur mit Freude an Fehlinformation erklären

Windkraft-Projekte im Bezirk Waidhofen: Volksbefragungen noch im März Die Gemeinden Groß-Siegharts, Karlstein, Thaya, Waidhofen-Land und Waidhofen/Thaya einigten sich auf eine gemeinsame Vorgehensweise, wann sie ihre Bürger über die in ihren Gemeinden geplanten Windp...

Am 10. März haben Waldviertler:innen die Möglichkeit sich mit einem klaren "JA" beider Volksbefragung für Windkraft, für Unabhängigkeit in der Energieversorgung, für Klimaschutz und für die Zukunft Ihrer Enkelkinder zu entscheiden.

The company I work for has successfully build agripv, however our farmers use the land for sheep farming. Checkout the US bases "solar shepherd" for instance

Lo and behold: fracking reduces the bird population by 15% while wind turbines do not have that effect. One more reason to stand against #fossilfuels

This just in: Science says, wind turbines do actually not have a measurable impact on bird count! Their impact on birds Population is a common argument against the development of wind farmer. In his 2024 study E.Katovich looked at North American Bird populations, wind farms and shale wells.

160 #windturbines are possible in Tyrol, we currently have: 0
Reactionary regional politics in cahoots with fear of change are the reasons for that. Tyrolians are especially afraid of wind turbines being ugly. Tyrolians have no issue with ~3400 km of ski slopes cutting through their landscape.

'Like a shipwreck on a seabed': How wind turbines can become homes for marine life Despite concerns about harms to marine life posed by wind turbines, experts say they can create new marine habitats.

After an onshore wind turbine is build it does not take long for the fauna to grow back around it. Something even more amazing is happening with offshore-power plants.They have the "artificial reef effect" thus literally creating new habitats and shelter.

Der erste Hofladen hier in der Umgebung fällt bei uns schon flach, der solidarisiert sich mit der Bauernrandale.

Lustig in der Antwort war, dass er sich mit Hinweis auf die CDU Mitgliedschaft der Chefin und ihre lokale parteipolitische Tätigkeit von Radikalen abzugrenzen versuchte.

New laws making it easier and quicker to access the power grid for renewable energy providers need to be passed. Additionally the government needs to create financial incentives for consumers to swith to green energy, if fossil energy is currently cheaper on the power market.

the federal states must act. They have to implement EU-law and allocate suitable areas for wind power construction. Additionally approval procedures need to be quicker, possibly including more employees.

🧵 2024 Austria will only get 13 new wind turbines. Considering that last year 70 turbines were connected to the grid, and we would annually need 150 turbines/1.000 MW to be carbon neutral in 2040, that is laughably low.

I have honestly no idea where this nuclear happiness is coming from. The second, russian troops came close to a nuclear reactor in Ukraine last year, we all crapped our pants. The risk is unimaginable- and we have alternatives!
