Energy – it’s on everyone’s lips. Even more so, perhaps, if you heat with gas. However, parts of Karlsruhe’s city council and city administration were backing only one path: all-electric. Solutions that therefore only work with electricity. The crises of the past show that we must not rely on just one resource. Most recently, a power outage in Rastatt brought life to a standstill for a day.
We actually have a wealth of energy generation and storage types. As a group Free Voters and the Voters’ Group FOR Karlsruhe, we advocated precisely this CO2-neutral principle of “Power-to-X” in the climate protection concept. In the local council last for a biogas plant for the city and county. Another step to diversify – and get away from fossil fuels.
The future will show that we need a healthy mix of solar, wind and hydro energy, heat and biogas, synthetic fuels and hydrogen. Only when we link these resources, couple the sectors, can we supply our city with energy in a future-proof way. Related links<\/p>\n\n\n\n
