From The KlimaNachrichten<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0KlimaNachrichten Editor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are these perseverance slogans? Or is the context simply faded out?

In the Tagesspiegel<\/a>, Johannes Vogel (botanist and Director General of the Museum f\u00fcr Naturkunde Berlin\/Leibniz Institute) cheers the energy transition and comes up with interesting examples from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Uruguay produces 98 percent of its electricity from renewable energies, which reduced costs by half. In India, energy from renewable sources repeatedly covered more than 50 percent of electricity demand last year. 99 percent of all newly registered cars in Norway are electric, and China produces a third of the world’s electricity from renewable energies. This list is much longer and it will continue to grow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Uruguay is blessed with hydropower, which contributes almost half to the generation of electricity. With there. The costs there are 23 cents low compared to Germany but are still above the average for South America. The situation is hardly comparable with Germany. Not to mention the fact that the country has only 3.8 million inhabitants. It is not an industrialized country.

How the figure of 50% renewable energies in India comes about is puzzling.

Lowcarbon power:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In India, most of the electricity generation is generated from fossil fuels, with more than 70 percent of electricity coming from coal. Fossil fuels, including coal and gas, provide a total of over 73 percent of electricity demand. In contrast, low-carbon sources account for more than a quarter of electricity generation. These include hydropower at just under 9 percent, solar energy at 8 percent, wind energy at over 5 percent and nuclear power at almost 3 percent. This shows some diversification towards clean energy sources, but fossil fuels continue to dominate India’s electricity mix between September 2024 and August 2025.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n


With electricity prices below 20 cents\/kWh as in Norway, electric cars in Germany would probably be a little further ahead.

In China, coal is still the leader. And hydropower also plays a major role here, greater than that of wind and sun.

Of course, you can leave out the context, but whether it’s a good idea is another matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
