Good morning,
I just received a steep price increase from my energy provider enercity, raising the cost to 15 cents per kWh starting in August. That’s really tough, and I think prices will rise even further.
It’s a strange feeling to be thrown back so quickly into an energy supply situation where you have to figure out how to keep the house warm. It seems to me that the government has given up on the goal of enabling everyone to adequately cover at least their basic needs.
Goodbye central supply structures; now the winner is whoever has solar panels and a heat pump in their new build, while the others are left out.
Welcome back, coal heating 😕
Frustrated regards,

Really interesting to see the directions this thread is taking...
Edit: No, wait. It would have been better to say:
“The paths of this thread are unfathomable!”What I find more intriguing is that I identified at least one of my posts where some statements were removed without any comment. I’m not trying to ask for a warning here, but back “in the day,” you at least got notified if changes were made to your own content.
So much for unfathomable ;-)

Here’s an alternative version from me: The children buy the old ladies’ house at a fair price, demolish the old building, and construct an energy-efficient multi-family home, including a small apartment suitable for elderly and disabled residents for grandma, on the large plot. Everyone lives happily ever after. 😉 Where there once was a large plot of land with plenty of space from other concrete surfaces and lots of cooling vegetation, there is now a perfect infill development with lots of concrete and paving that heats up easily. Don’t forget the outdoor temperature sensor with internet connectivity! Then you have a good chance of setting new temperature records in summer, assuming your infill development is "tight" enough. And with the right “panic communication,” you might even secure more subsidies for the non-baseload and therefore basically unnecessary “renewables.”
A great system……

Be careful, this is only about photovoltaics. Storage systems receive little to no subsidies because there is no public interest in having inefficient small-scale storage units in basements. They don’t benefit the grid, they don’t benefit the owner, and they harm the energy transition because on average they waste about 20% of the best renewable electricity during operation. These systems are more of a hobby and have never been financially worthwhile.Storage for private households? That’s out of the question—they might even become self-sufficient in electricity supply, and then it would be harder to charge them...M

And this is your main argument not to support the Greens' energy transition, but instead you would rather wait and see if the CSU manages it within this millennium? We are all waiting for the Greens' "nuclear energy transition" 🙂

And then: You seriously want to compare the current policies of the Red/Yellow & Green parties with the Third Reich. Wow, more than one light bulb must have blown. Why is such nonsense even posted here?

If they had started back in the 1960s, when climate change was already clear, 5% would have been enough. We messed up there, so now a bit more pressure is necessary. Didn’t people expect an ice age in the 1960s? 🙂 🙂 🙂
It’s terrible what those two from the green agitprop department are saying here.
Were you trained with the “I love you all” approach?

It’s fascinating how much hatred people can have for “the Greens,” considering they’ve had practically NO influence over the last 50 years. Oh, how awful, now the Greens have to deal with the consequences of green policies themselves. A.M. was basically some kind of red-green undercover agent…
