   Live in Strasbourg

Come to Strasbourg! For the KlimaCamp, 02. - 07. July 2022, all info here and for the big action in front of the parliament on July 6th 2022, the the day of the parliamentary vote.

   Background information

• Arguments against the Commission's approach
  • The Commission's proposal was not preceded by the usual consultation of the Parliament. This shortened the procedure and weakened the democratic legitimacy of the proposal.
  • Delegated acts are not supposed to be political, programmatic decisions of direction, because the Members of Parliament can only accept or reject delegated acts. They cannot change them, such as a legislative proposal, by means of an amendment and vote on it. This circumvented an important function of parliament.

• Arguments against nuclear energy, more info
  • Carries the risk of major reactor disasters, e.g. in the event of accidents or attacks
  • Is very expensive to build and operate, uranium is subject to large price fluctuations.
  • Is not insurable
  • There is no safe final repository and the nuclear waste problem has not been solved.
  • The construction of new nuclear power plants takes far too long and is therefore not an option for a rapid energy turnaround that meets the Paris target.
  • Dependence on uranium-producing countries
  • Can also be used for military purposes

• Arguments against fossil gas, more infos:
  • Large quantities of climate-damaging greenhouse gases - especially methane - are leaking along the extraction and transport chain of natural gas. The latter, unburned, is about 87 times more harmful to the climate than CO2 in the first 20 years. See also
  • The costly construction of new LNG terminals means that we will be tied to gas for decades to come.
  • Dependence on gas-producing countries, usually linked to long-term supply contracts: The EU's main supplier of crude oil, natural gas and coal has been Russia. Others are Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Libya and Azerbaijan. All of them countries that are involved in wars or conflicts, where largely unstable or authoritarian political conditions prevail and some of which are even subject to EU sanctions. Energy imports from such countries are not only questionable in terms of compliance with human rights, environmental and other elementary standards, but also risky in terms of security of supply. In addition, smouldering conflicts between Greece, Turkey and other states in the south-eastern Mediterranean region over the exploitation of gas reserves off Cyprus show the high potential for conflict that this entails. The struggle for fossil resources, including gas, was the fourth most frequent cause of wars and conflicts in 2019.

• Arguments for Renewable Energy:
  A sustainable taxonomy offers the chance to finally direct massive and consistent investments and state subsidies into renewable energies, which are  energies of freedom and peace: 
• Renewable energies are "energies of freedom":
  •  1. "Renewable energies not only contribute to energy security and supply. Renewable energies free us from dependencies. Renewable energies are therefore energies of freedom. We are counting on freedom energies." Germany`s liberal Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner at a special session of the Bundestag on 27.02.2022,
  • 2. According to the German Federal Constitutional Court, only the rapid reduction of CO2 emissions secures the "freedom rights" of future generations. If the reduction is postponed into the future, the future emission reduction must be all the more drastic and this restricts the freedom of the following generations.
  • 3. A sustainable economy can only be organised with renewable energies: a temperture increase of more than 2 degrees will change the basis of life on earth so massively that human life will be radically restricted or in large areas impossible due to heat and droughts, floods, rising sea levels, water shortages, advancing desertification, the collapse of biodiversity and entire ecosystems, including the loss and extinction of species and the resulting conflicts and migration.

• Renewable energies are "energies of peace": 
  • "The energy transition including renewable energies and energy saving is the best peace project we have worldwide: It makes us independent of fossil energy wars by strengthening domestic energy supply, which is decentralised and thus also strengthens the economy and democracy.", says energy economist Claudia Kemfert.
  • The expansion of renewable energies prevents wars and can defuse conflicts. In many wars and civil wars, the urge for access to fossil raw materials was and is central. With increasing dependence on dwindling resources such as coal, oil and natural gas, these raw materials take on a decisive economic and strategic importance.
