Today, more than 80 percent of global energy comes from coal, gas and oil. A completely renewable and electric energy system (All-Electric) is a distant dream, perhaps not even that.

Time is of the essence. That is why we need to use all climate-neutral and secure energy sources immediately: Renewable, fossil with CO2 capture and nuclear energy-ALL IN! instead of All-Electric. Because fossil emissions are the problem, not fossil fuels. 

Climate neutrality can only be achieved pragmatically, open to technology and together in a symbiosis of technology and nature. Whether we get climate change under control will not be decided in Germany or Europe, not even in the USA, but in China, India and Africa. At best, climate nationalism helps our own conscience
