Just Climate Main Topics

Energy Policy: Fast Forward to Renewables

Energy Policy: Fast Forward to Renewables

How can we increase and speed up the roll out of clean energy? We've seen a big boost in renewables lately. This is great news, but there's still a long way to go. What's holding us back? Issues like permits, grid development, and storage are just a few of the challenges we need to tackle. More

Freedom, Equality, Climate Protection

Even if the right-wingers like to twist it and present it differently: the real attack on our freedom is global warming. If it continues unabated, it will progressively impose restrictions on us. But we are able to do something against it. We decide on the best ways and means to combat global warming. Together. That is the freedom we have.
