According to the Advisory Council on the Environment of the Government of Germany, at the latest by 2050, Germany can switch completely to the production of electricity from renewable sources. What is it - a bold prediction and the actual script? . Without subsidies, the successful development of the industry, specializing in the production of electricity from solar or wind energy, according to experts, it is impossible. However, these state grants, but rather their distribution in Germany is growing skepticism.
By 2050, no coal, oil and the atom.
To keep the pace of global warming and avoid abrupt climate change, the industrialized countries, according to experts, have a 95 percent cut in emissions of greenhouse gases. In Germany, 40 percent of CO2 emissions from electricity generation accounted for.
According to the chairman of Advisory Council on Environmental Faulshtiha Martin (Martin Faulstich), to achieve one hundred percent transition to renewable energy, that is, rejection of nuclear power, oil, gas and coal by 2050 - can be. According to him, this plan is feasible from a financial point of view, but in the long run - such a strategy is more economical. ' The case for policies that should apply clear signals and to devise a system that encourages a transition to renewable energy ' - he said.
The policy gives the wrong signals.
Expert advice on ecology consists of seven university professors, and advises the Government of Germany since 1972. Scientists believe the Board is now German politicians come from the wrong signals. Experts believe that the decision to extend the service life of German nuclear power plants and the construction of new coal-fired power plants may jeopardize the development of large-scale energy production from renewable sources.
In addition, scientists have criticized the politicians for the wrong allocation of subsidies. For example, in Germany, solar cells produce only 10 percent of the total amount of clean energy. However, the PV leaves 40 percent of all donations designated for alternative energy.
Therefore, according to a member of the advisory council Kathryn Holm -Mueller (Katrin Holm-Müller), subsidies for the production of electricity from solar energy should be significantly reduced, especially in view of the rapid development of these technologies. ... - Further development of these technologies are no longer dependent on state subsidies in Germany '.
Solar panels at low prices.
Due to low prices and at the same time subsidies from the government, in 2010 the total capacity of newly installed solar panels across the country has reached 7 GW. In the most favorable weather conditions, this could correspond to the six power plants. But the fact that in Germany, the sun always shines with sufficient intensity, so this ideal is never reached index.
Whatever it was, but in 2011 the total amount of subsidies for alternative energy will grow and will exceed 13 billion euros. Most of the increase of these subsidies are financed by raising electricity prices for consumers. However, according to experts, the emphasis should not be on the increase in subsidies, and their more efficient use of.
It is much more profitable to produce photovoltaic electricity from wind energy. But now in the industry, according to the head of the Federal Wind Energy Association Albers Herman (Hermann Albers), slump. ... - This, of course, does not cause us great joy and did not meet our expectations and projections '.
The crisis of wind power industry?.
At the end of 2010 in Germany, there were about 22 thousand. wind. The share of energy produced in the total energy of the country amounted to about seven percent. Last year, it was found just 754 wind generator, which, according to Hermann Albers, the same level as in 1999.
Among the reasons for the decline he calls an early arrival of winter and the effects of the economic crisis. In addition, to install new wind turbines become more difficult due to the strict rules that limit the height and increase the distance between them. As a result, it is difficult to find suitable land.
Against this background, the debate about the possible reduction of subsidies for the development of alternative energy is now at Hermann Albers disturbance, as well as plans to introduce common standards for EU grants. At the present time, we increasingly difficult to enter into contracts for 2012. Who knows in what conditions we are working. And some banks even refuse to finance our projects ...
Shared in the Albers criticism the Council of Experts on Ecology at the Federal Government. In the opinion of its members, subsidies should be done more consistently and reliably. Otherwise, the necessary transition to renewable energy sources and consumers may question.

Unwritten rules of management.
Do not lose your sense of humor.
This and the following 25th rule is very important to maintain a balance in the company and establishing close relationships with employees.
The good-natured humor underscores our human nature and a wonderful way to reduce friction in the team.
Humor can help you break the ice. I often use it.

About Business, Marketing and gurus
Long time I did not write anything useful about marketing, but strictly speaking, and writing, there is nothing. The crisis has reduced the marketing activities of companies and projects, interesting solutions became virtually. Now more and more prefer to point promo shots with immediate effect, it is understandable, but now money is short. You can write a post about the organization of marketing research, but it did not work one day, and on my last trip to allocate as much time I can not, therefore, the practice of marketing research for later.
Speaking of studies. From the beginning, the number of requests for field work has declined, while those that come to offer such ridiculous budgets, we must admit that we have worked on in the best case would be a profit of 1,000 rubles. ( month, killing time) or even a minus, so at this point is the direction at a loss.
In the near future going to arrange cleaning of banks, which serve as a juridical. face. Like the court of the crisis, must fight for customers, as they impair the conditions, and how! .
Time is now considering proposals for commercial banking products of interest to me.
How nice to realize that there are successful and interesting to me businessmen who think and act in the same vein that I. Here Tinkoff, one of those people. By the way, he spoke in the same way about Richard Branson... even one of my. business guru. (hereinafter referred to quotes from the interview):.
- You wrote the foreword to the book by Richard Branson ( British entrepreneur, owner of Virgin Group of Companies. - Ed. ), Was at his lecture in Moscow in November - you know him from?.
- I'm with him just to skate skiing in Verbier, here next week. We just friendship with him - I feed him energy, and not as from a businessman, but as a human-. We had talked about the business, well, maybe 10 % of the time. Because, in my opinion, his business is no longer interested in.
- You too?.
- In general, yes. Why do we communicate with him - because I share many of his values, not only in business.
Still very pleased with yet another statement about the relation to the work and values - almost 100% the same as mine:.
- What values are inherent in you. in business. ?.
- It should be more fun. Ski. plump. A business - this is such crap. Businesses need to do as little as possible.
Business should be enjoyable, but we have plenty of rest. What do you get plenty of rest - so you're better than working. I'm talking about business, not about the managers who are clamped outside of work, and certainly not of any employee who has, unfortunately, from bell to bell, the salary. but there is no accountability, and.
If we translate this quote to me, skiing on a snowboard can be replaced, and all the rest leave. The work (my business) need to work is not strained, but the work itself needs to have fun. A lot of pleasure - this is a good atmosphere in the home and leisure, travel, friends, and much else. If the work does not bring you pleasure, what you remember in my life... those wretched islands of happiness that you're cut out for annual leave, and that if this vacation was a success? .
That's something like about the business.
Yes, there is still a strong feeling that Fall 2009 will be sooo difficult in financial terms, I'm a bit written about this in the post of. Egyptian seminar. , Anxious feeling there is still. :-(.
Yesterday I asked my readers. what browsers they use and why?. Since the early incarnation of this blog in November 2008, statistics on google shows that 32% of blog visitors are using Firefox, Internet Explorer - 26 %, Opera - 23 %, Safari - 12%, everything else is detail.
Of those who commented on this topic, so far mainly use Mozilla Firefox, which converge to the statistics. And now I will start giving away their debts promised by commentators.
I'll start with Dmitry aka kalinigradtsa. MasterX. , The owner of an advertising agency, web- studio project for booking hotels, a popular personal blog including earnings on the network, video bloggers, etc. Dr.. and m. n. He was the first t. to. most appropriate under the theme of this post. Though he still is not my business guru;-) but reading his blog ... $ 10,000 A MONTH. ... However, I still have not lazy to go hiking, but m. to. it seems like older than me for a couple of years, God knows, may at his age, and I will score all the adventures in the mountains and forests with a rucksack on his back. :-).
cop:. where else podcherpnut information about the crisis, if not. Site of the economic crisis. ?. One of the topical issues '. What will happen to the insurance market?. '!.
