Vetoomus on osoitettu: German Minister Katherina Reiche

German Minister Katherina Reiche wants to build climate-damaging gas-fired power plants. They will not be available for at least 5-10 years. Gas-fired power plants are powered by natural gas or LNG. They exacerbate the climate crisis not only through their extreme CO2 emissions, but also through the release of methane during extraction and transport. Methane is many times more harmful to the climate than CO2.

Instead of relying on existing backup power plants and the massive expansion of storage solutions, base-load biogas production, intelligent networking, and the protection of natural CO2 sinks such as moors, forests, oceans, and karst areas, our minister Katherina Reiche is pushing for gas combustion as if there were no tomorrow, in the midst of the climate crisis. This is squandering opportunities for the future. Ultimately, it will cause massive damage to the economy and society.

We call on Katherina Reiche to stop her disastrous plans immediately!

Listen to our climate researchers such as Volker Quaschning, Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber, Thomas Jung, Stefan Rahmsdorf, Mojib Latif and others! Protect the climate now, Katherina!
