Jeder spricht über VW, die eigentliche Frage wird jedoch kaum berührt

By: Christiane Kliemann

"Die momentane Diskussion um die Schuldigen bei VW und die Verbesserung der Regelwerke für die Messung von Autoabgaswerten bleibt jedoch nur an der Oberfläche und verfehlt den eigentlichen Punkt: dass die großen Konzerne in den Schlüsselbranchen der globalisierten kapitalistischen Wachstumswirtschaft – und somit auch die großen Autofirmen – verdammt sind zu wachsen oder sterben, was in beiden F...

Everyone talks about Volkswagen, but the real question is hardly ever touched

By: Christiane Kliemann

"The ongoing discussion on identifying the culprits at Volkswagen and improving the general regulations for measuring car emissions remains at the surface and misses the real point: that the big players in the key industries of the globalized capitalist growth-economy – and thereby the big car companies – are doomed to grow or die which is disastrous in either case. As for the growth trajectory...

Der Rebound- Effekt. Ökonomische, psychische und soziale Herausforderungen für die Entkopplung von Wirtschaftswachstum und Energieverbrauch

By: Dr. Tilmann Santarius

Der Verlag: Die Erhöhung der Energieeffizienz - durch LED-Lampen, Hybrid-Autos, Gebäudedämmung usw. - kann einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Nachhaltigkeit leisten. Doch welche 'unerwünschten Nebenfolgen' haben diese technischen Lösungen der Nachhaltigkeit? Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit von Tilman Santarius steht die Frage, inwiefern Effizienzsteigerungen sogenannte Rebound-Effekte hervorbringen, die die...

Braunkohle – Irrläufer der deutschen Stromerzeugung

By: Craig Morris, Arne Jungjohann

Die Energiewende ist erfolgreicher, als selbst die meisten Befürworter erwartet hätten. Doch ein Makel bleibt: Die Erneuerbaren Energien haben zwar den Wegfall des Atomstroms mehr als kompensiert, aber auf dem heutigen Strommarkt werden die klima-schädlichsten Kapazitäten bevorzugt; in Deutschland ist das vor allem Strom aus Braunkohle. Dies hintertreibt die klimapolitischen Ziele der Bundesreg...

Abundant Clean Renewables? Think Again!

By: Almuth Ernsting

From the text: Zero-carbon, clean energy? Well, no. And yet, there are no large-scale energy sources with lower carbon emissions and less harmful environmental impacts than wind and solar power. As one scientist argues from the perspective of thermodynamics: "To talk about 'renewable energy' or 'sustainable energy' is an oxymoron, as is 'sustainable mining' or 'sustainable development.' The mor...

Bound on Rebound: Die Effizienz hat Folgen

By: Tilman Santarius, Peter Hennicke, Andreas Exner, Wolfgang Sachs, Reinhard Madlener, Bernd Draser, Ralph Hintemann, Matthias Laschke, Sarah Diefenbach, Marc Hassenzahl, Stefan Thomas

Factory: Rebound-Effekte sind der Dämon der technologischen Effizienz: Ihretwegen sind die versprochenen Einsparungen an Ressourcen nicht so groß wie erwartet, teilweise werden sogar mehr als zuvor verbraucht. Ohne Obergrenzen und Lebensstil-Änderung wird der Dämon wohl nicht zu bändigen sein, heißt es im neuen factory-Magazin Rebound.

Wachstum, was nun?

By: Marie-Monique Robin

Die Dokumentation stellt kurz dar, wie sehr Politik heute auf Wirtschaftswachstum fokussiert ist. Der Schwerpunkt des Films sind allerdings praktische schon jetzt existierende Alternativen. Einige werden vorgestellt: u.a. Urbane Landwirstschaft in Toronto und Rosario in Argentinien, die Dänische Insel Samsö deren Energie Versorgung auf 100% erneuerbaren Energien beruht, erneuerbare Energien in ...

The distribution and drivers of CO2 emissions on a consumption basis and implications for a degrowth economy – the case of Germany

By: Jonas Pohlmann, Nils Ohlendorf

Abstract: This paper analyses the distribution of CO2 emissions over households in Germany, identifies their socio-economic drivers and discusses the policy implications. On the basis of an environmentally extended input output model, the CO2 intensities for consumption-based emissions from different categories are calculated and allocated to the expenditure data of a representative survey of 4...
