With a fascinating vision, mankind is able to accomplish amazing projects
Introduction
„I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal,before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and
returning him safely to the Earth."John F. Kennedy – May 25, 1961

What is required to be convinced of a vision?– An open mind to follow logical arguments
Agenda
1.Is it realistic?
2.Can we afford it?
3.Can we do it?

So it may be realistic, but what is with the costs?

1.Is it realistic?
2.Can we afford it?
3.Can we do it?

Accept that the times of cheap energy will not come back – but realize that only renewables can get cheaper

Keep in mind that the affordability argument only matters for living a „good“ life, not a „luxurious“ one
2.c Relevant energy costs
Luxury products and energy intensive leisure activities
Food,health,clothing
Savings /Provisions
Housing / living
Work, education,social life, vacation,
information,related mobility

.. must be affordable ... can be expensive
... for basicneeds & pleasure
... for additional convenience and leisure

If it is realistic and affordable, what do we have to do?

Be aware that we have to get on the right track now– and not waste time and money anymore
3.a Urgency
2015< 100
months Time left according to IPCC to curb emissions world-wide
2008 2050
We need a convincing vision to• implement renewables faster• avoid investments in old technologies• avoid unnecessary emissions• get innovative ideas of more people• create optimism

3.b Stakeholder Analysis
Convince decision makers – and the population will increasingly benefit from renewable technologies
Target Group
Fossil / nuclear Neutral Renewables
Deciders / Multipliers:• Politicians• Managers / Entrepreneurs• Private „Budget Holders“
Interests
„Normal“ Population:• Private citizens• Employees / Workforce• Administration
European Population
Stakeholders

Realize that the fossil age is over, the renewable age has begun – even if some may not like it

1. Inform yourself & your family about energy and climate change
2. Buy smart(= considering energy)
3. Switch / turn off what you don‘t use
1. Invest smart(= considering energy)
2. Improve & support renewable technologies
3. Have guts to change unsustainable business models or jobs
1. Implement consistent policies quickly
2. Provide infrastructure and support
3. Prohibit inefficient / polluting technologies and activities
and „normal“ citizens and employees / workforce and administration staff
Act and invest consistently in private, business and public matters – and just start today
3.c Recommendations
Private Budget Holders Managers & Entrepreneurs Politicians

Get inspired by a fascinating vision– for yourself, for our children and for mankind
A European Vision
„We believe that this continent should commit itself to achieving the goal,before half of the century is out, of using solely renewable energies and
living in a sustainable way on Earth."
The European Parliament, the European Commission, the Head of States of the European Union,the Party Leaders of the Member States – December 2009
