Newsletter of PEGE in the year 2024
| The Android moment of the old car industry
| |
|
The old car industry only saw Tesla as a new competitor. But in the 4th quarter of 2023, BYD sold more electric cars than Tesla. Similarly, Samsung sold more than Apple.
|
| The forgotten factor of motivation
| |
|
Nothing is more alien to the mindset of these people than motivation. For these people, the only thing that counts is enforcing draconian penalties and financing them with tax increases.
|
| War mongering in 1914 and the consequences to this day
| |
|
War-mongers are not directed against specific politicians, a specific government or a specific country, but against the future of humanity as a whole.
|
| California CEQA produces homelessness
| |
|
Living in the countryside is evil, we have to prevent it, whatever the cost. New technology? We deny that, it doesn't exist! Housing costs? So what, we are a very rich country!
|
| Federal Network Agency Scenario Framework 2045
| |
|
There can be dramatic differences between available power and electricity demand. How can such nonsense end up in an official government document?
|
| Methane, methanol or hydrogen for power plants
| |
|
The EU only wants gas-fired power plants that are suitable for hydrogen from 2035 - a very questionable decision because this is a completely open question for power plants
|
| Vienna is bigger than the Gaza Strip
| |
|
Any statement on this problem without a strategy for deradicalization is just lip service. There can be no deradicalization locked up on 365 km².
|
| Let's make the world a better place together
| |
|
Investor discussions typically start with the question of how you got there in the first place. Somehow it's clear that a young, dynamic start-up founder aged 65 is sitting opposite you.
|
| Landshut Environmental Fair 2024
|
| 
| |
|
My presentation: The EFH is dead, long live the new EFH for a successful energy transition. Huge problems such as the energy transition and climate change and this is supposed to be the answer?
|
| What would Ludwig Erhard say?
| |
|
The median wealth of 2 people in Germany is nowhere near enough for home ownership. Home ownership is probably the lowest form of "prosperity for all".
|
| Car show in Salzburg
|
| 
| |
|
Do car sellers really want to sell electric cars if they don't even have a clue about optimized charging at low spot market prices?
|
| France bans new wind turbines - 100% solar not a problem
| |
|
In the southernmost part of Germany, one kW of photovoltaics supplies 17 kWh in December. In the southernmost part of France, on the other hand, it is 41 kWh.
|
| The 3 situation assessment problem
| |
|
Diagnosis correct, therapy correct or diagnosis incorrect, therefore no therapy required or
Diagnosis correct, therapy wrong, an effective therapy must be developed
|
| Austria Earth Exhaustion Day and what lies behind it
|
| 
| |
|
Such footprint calculators are not about solutions, but about making people compliant for an eco-fascist dictatorship.
|
| Foray into the great void with shocking results
| |
|
What would a PR agency do when tasked with inciting the population against climate protection? Exactly what these supposed “climate protectors” are doing!
|
| Cheap home ownership in the flood zone
|
| 
| |
|
Why ban construction in an area at risk of flooding? Why not simply "Only floatable houses may be used"?
|
| Power grid or no power grid, that is here the question
|
| 
| |
|
Let's take a larger settlement with 1024 houses and 90 MW of photovoltaics. In an area as sunny as Mountain View in California, 125 GWh annual yield.
|
| How do you plan an electricity system?
|
| 
| |
|
Photovoltaics are very cheap. Photovoltaics can be dimensioned so large that you can get by with it even in December. This means you have a lot of surplus electricity in June.
|
| The extreme lie of overproduction
| |
|
Where would the rich Westerner end up with photovoltaics and electricity storage if he could no longer provoke the poor African with a "Your poverty pisses me off"?
|
| Infrastructure and low transportation costs for Africa
| |
|
Transportation costs in Africa are much higher than in Europe. For example, a container from China to Mozambique costs US$ 2,000 and then US$ 5,000 500 km further to its destination.
|
| Exchange rates and transportation costs of energy technology
| |
|
The decisive cost issue here is not the value of the methanol, but the avoided costs of electric grid construction. In other words, the costs compared to a power grid.
|
| Simulation test of iron-air batteries and power to methanol
|
| 
| |
|
The simulation puts 5 MWh of sodium batteries and 6 MWh of iron-air batteries on the winning test, which really surprised me. What would happen without all the new technology?
|
| No electricity sales possible today from 03:00 to 18:00
|
| 
| |
|
I can already see “happy hour” campaigns at the first model estate, where fast charging will be offered at 10 cents/kWh in times of negative spot market prices.
|
| How much wind power does Germany need?
| |
|
However, all changes to the parameters in the simulation cannot bring about one thing: a significant cost advantage for wind energy to make it indispensable.
|
| Intersolar 2024 - the technology is available
| |
|
When Tesla was founded in 2003, it actually had much less concrete product planning than GEMINI next Generation AG 2022. It was a bet on low battery prices.
