April 2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sehr geehrte Frau Bundeskanzlerin,<br \/>sehr geehrte Frau L\u00fcbbe, sehr geehrte Frau Reisch, sehr geehrte Frau Schreurs, sehr geehrter Herr T\u00f6pfer, sehr geehrter Herr Kleiner, sehr geehrter Herr Beck, sehr geehrter Herr von Dohnanyi, sehr geehrter Herr Fischer, sehr geehrter Herr Gl\u00fcck, sehr geehrter Herr Hacker, sehr geehrter Herr Hambrecht, sehr geehrter Herr Hauff, sehr geehrter Herr Hirsche, sehr geehrter Herr H\u00fcttl, sehr geehrter Herr Marx, sehr geehrter Herr Renn, sehr geehrter Herr Vassiliadis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sie sollen: \u201c.vor dem Hintergrund der Ereignisse in Japan die Risiken der Kernenergie neu bewerten. Es geht um eine nationale Energiestrategie, die von der gesamten Gesellschaft als Leitlinie f\u00fcr die n\u00e4chsten Jahrzehnte akzeptiert wird\u2026\u201d. So lautet Ihr Auftrag, der Ihnen am 4. April 2011 von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel erteilt wurde. Ein hoher Anspruch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitte erlauben Sie mir, Sie ein wenig bei Ihrer Arbeit zu unterst\u00fctzen. Dazu sind einige Zahlen vielleicht hilfreich (siehe nachfolgende Angaben). Sie m\u00f6gen zwar bekannt sein, enthalten aber ein hohes Verbesserungs-Potenzial. Das Potenzial ist immens. Der Vorteil ist, dass damit sofort begonnen werden kann. Erstaunlicherweise werden diese Zahlen, Daten Fakten weder in so genannten Expertenkreisen noch in den Medien beachtet oder gar diskutiert. Das sollte nicht so bleiben, daf\u00fcr sind sie zu wichtig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eine neue Energiestrategie, die Sie jetzt schaffen sollen, und die als Leitlinie f\u00fcr die n\u00e4chsten Jahrzehnte gelten soll, ist in der Tat dringend erforderlich. Sie kann allerdings nur auf Grundlage einer sauberen Analyse des Ist-Zustandes erfolgen. Nach Angaben des BDEW, Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. Berlin*, vom 22. M\u00e4rz 2010 ist das deutsche Stromnetz unglaubliche 1 783 209 Kilometer lang. Diese Strecke entspricht viermal der Entfernung von der Erde zum Mond. Zus\u00e4tzlich werden in Deutschland mehr als 550 000 Transformatoren (Umspannwerke) ben\u00f6tigt, um dieses Netz am Laufen zu halten und nur um Elektrizit\u00e4t vom Ort der Erzeugung (meist immer noch Kohlekraftwerke) zu den Verbrauchern in Industrie, Haushalt und KMU zu bringen. Hier bitte ich um eine Beurteilung durch Sie nach \u201c.gesundem Menschenverstand\u201d, ob das jemals sinnvoll war oder gar durch einen weiteren Netzausbau zuk\u00fcnftig gef\u00f6rdert werden sollte. Hier sollten Sie bitte zun\u00e4chst einmal hinterfragen: Wem nutzt das?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laut der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen e.V. betrugen die Umwandlungsverluste bei der Stromerzeugung (Verbrauch und Verluste im Umwandlungsbereich, Fackel- und Leitungsverluste) im Jahr 2008 (neuere Zahlen sind leider nicht verf\u00fcgbar) 141,6 Mio. t Steinkohleneinheiten (1 Mio. t SKE = 29,308 Petajoule). Diese Zahl allein sagt noch nicht viel. Die gesamten Energienutzungen in allen deutschen Haushalten betragen 87,3 Mio. t SKE. Dazu kommen in Gewerbe, Handel, Dienstleistungen und \u00fcbrige Verbraucher zusammen weitere 49,2 Mio. t SKE, das entspricht total einer Summe 136,5 Mio. t. SKE. Alle Verbraucher dieser Gruppen ben\u00f6tigen also weit weniger Energie, als die derzeitigen Verluste in der Elektrizit\u00e4tswirtschaft betragen. Dies ist der aktuellen Energie-Infrastruktur geschuldet, die in ihren Grundz\u00fcgen in den Jahren 1880-1890 festgelegt wurde. Und sich seither nicht mehr wirklich verbessert hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ein gro\u00dfer \u201cDenkfehler\u201d unserer heutigen Energie-Infrastruktur ist, unter anderem, die Tatsache, das Elektrizit\u00e4t aus erneuerbaren Energien in der Stromwirtschaft seit ihrer Einf\u00fchrung im Jahre 1891 (erstes Wasserkraftwerk ) bzw. in den siebziger Jahren des vorherigen Jahrhunderts (erste Windkraftwerke) stets wie normale Kraftwerke behandelt werden. Das machte schon immer physikalisch wenig Sinn. Da hilft auch ein smartes Netz nicht wirklich weiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was also tun? Was wir ben\u00f6tigen \u2013 und diese Chance haben Sie, liebe Mitglieder der Ethikkommission \u201cSichere Energieversorgung\u201d jetzt noch \u2013 ist ein klares, offizielles Bekenntnis zu einem wirklich echten, dezentralen, zweckbestimmten und kleinfl\u00e4chigen Energiesystem. Damit meine ich, dass die Energie dort umgewandelt wird, wo sie gebraucht wird. Wir ben\u00f6tigen dazu weder Kernkraft-, noch Kohle-, noch Gaskraftwerke. Das schaffen wirklich sinnvoll eingesetzte erneuerbare Energien alles allein. Allerdings nur, wenn sie systembedingt und \u201cihrer Natur\u201d entsprechend eingesetzt werden. Und zwar je nach lokal vorhandenen erneuerbaren Prim\u00e4renergien, die dann f\u00fcr eine lokale Nutzung in einem Umkreis von maximal 15 Kilometer umgewandelt werden. Dann ben\u00f6tigen sie auch nur geringe Speicherkapazit\u00e4ten und k\u00f6nnen damit auch s\u00e4mtliche noch ben\u00f6tigte Transportleistung ebenfalls damit abdecken. Die daf\u00fcr erforderlichen Anlagen sollten jeweils lokal genutzt, betrieben und vor allem auch von den Leuten, welche die Energie umwandeln und beziehen, besessen werden. Dadurch \u00e4ndert sich das Verbraucherverhalten, auch in der Industrie, automatisch in die richtige Richtung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durch all diese Ma\u00dfnahmen lie\u00dfen sich die heutigen Energieverluste ebenso reduzieren wie die zunehmend unsicheren Prim\u00e4renergie-Importe. Mit einer neuen Infrastruktur k\u00f6nnen wir mehr Energie einsparen, als es unsere gemeinsame Vorstellungskraft es uns vielleicht erlaubt zu glauben. Allerdings setzt dies ein so genanntes Out of the Box-Denken voraus. Au\u00dferdem die Bereitschaft, sich objektiv und sachlich mit den vorhandenen Systemkonstellationen auseinanderzusetzten. Als n\u00e4chsten Schritt ben\u00f6tigen wir dann starke und verantwortlich handelnde Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten, die es verstehen, diese Zusammenh\u00e4nge unserer Bev\u00f6lkerung nahezubringen und sie mit ihnen zu diskutieren. Darauf aufbauend, kann man dann die Konzepte zeitnah und lokal umzusetzen. Alle daf\u00fcr erforderlichen Komponenten und Verfahrensweisen sind z.T. seit Jahren bekannt und bereits vorhanden. Es geht eigentlich \u201cnur noch\u201d um ihre sinnvolle Verbindung Sie alle, liebe Mitglieder der Ethikkommission \u201cSichere Energieversorgung\u201d haben hier und heute noch die einmalige historische Chance, diesen Quantensprung in unserer Energiewirtschaft einzuleiten. Dazu fehlte es den Verantwortlichen in der Vergangenheit offensichtlich an Durchblick, Mut und vielleicht auch an Zivilcourage. M\u00f6gen Sie die Kraft haben, in der Ihnen zur Verf\u00fcgung stehenden Zeit zu einem vorzeigew\u00fcrdigen Ergebnis zu kommen. Viele nachfolgende Generationen werden Ihnen daf\u00fcr dann zu Recht dankbar sein. Bis Ende Mai ist es nicht mehr allzu lange hin. Mit den Energie-Strategie-Weichen, die jetzt, auch von Ihnen, gestellt werden, m\u00fcssen wir alle wieder lange leben. Vielen Dank f\u00fcr Ihren pers\u00f6nlichen Einsatz in dieser Sache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F\u00fcr weitere Ausk\u00fcnfte stehe ich Ihnen gern zur Verf\u00fcgung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mit freundlichem Gru\u00df,<br \/>Arno A.

These devices leverage advanced technology and data analytics to monitor and control energy-consuming devices, enabling more efficient and sustainable energy practices. Here are some key points about smart devices for managing energy consumption:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Energy Monitoring and Tracking:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices, such as smart meters and energy monitoring systems, provide real-time data on energy consumption. They allow homeowners to track their energy usage patterns, identify high-energy-consuming devices, and make informed decisions on reducing wasteful consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy Automation and Control:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices enable automated control of energy-consuming devices based on preset preferences or real-time conditions. This includes smart thermostats, smart plugs, and smart switches that can regulate heating, cooling, lighting, and other appliances to optimize energy usage and reduce unnecessary consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demand Response and Time-of-Use Optimization:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices can participate in demand response programs that help manage peak energy demand. They can automatically adjust energy usage during periods of high demand or in response to signals from the grid, reducing the strain on the electricity system and potentially earning incentives or lower electricity rates. Additionally, smart devices can optimize energy consumption based on time-of-use electricity pricing, using energy during cheaper off-peak hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with Renewable Energy Systems:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices can integrate with renewable energy systems, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to maximize self-consumption of generated energy. They can automatically prioritize using renewable energy when available, store excess energy in storage systems, and intelligently manage energy flow within the household.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remote Energy Management and Optimization:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Many smart devices offer remote control and monitoring capabilities via mobile apps or web interfaces. Homeowners can monitor and adjust energy usage, even when away from home, ensuring efficient energy management and reducing wastage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy Insights and Recommendations:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices often provide energy insights, analytics, and recommendations based on collected data. These insights can help homeowners understand their energy consumption patterns, identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, and receive personalized recommendations for reducing energy waste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with Smart Home Systems:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart devices can be integrated into broader smart home systems, creating a connected ecosystem that enables seamless communication and coordination among various devices. This integration allows for advanced automation, optimization, and coordination of energy usage across multiple devices and appliances within the home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a nutshell, by utilizing smart devices for managing energy consumption, homeowners can gain better control over their energy usage, reduce waste, optimize energy efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"912\" width=\"650\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bloeckerblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bundespresse1-730x1024.jpg?resize=650%2C912&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15954\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arno A Evers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1024\" width=\"632\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bloeckerblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bundespresse2-632x1024.jpg?resize=632%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15955\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"963\" width=\"650\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bloeckerblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bundespresse3-691x1024.jpg?resize=650%2C963&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15956\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"867\" width=\"650\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bloeckerblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bundespresse4-768x1024.jpg?resize=650%2C867&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15957\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ein wunderbares Beispiel f\u00fcr Zukunft und Innovation aus dem Jahr 1988 und wie junge Menschen zum Erfolg gebracht werden: Bildung und Ausbildung und grenzenlosen Vertrauen in das Potential junger Menschen.  Vorbildlich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mehr davon: Wir m\u00fcssen die Erfolgsmeldungen als Teil des Alltags begreifen und d\u00fcrfen uns nicht hinter einer Mauer des Wehklagens verstecken. Es gibt viele Erfolgsgeschichten, jeden Tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist eine Haltung, die uns motiviert, unser Bestes zu geben, und die uns erf\u00fcllt, wenn wir es geschafft haben. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns hilft, unser Potenzial zu entfalten, und die uns inspiriert, andere zu unterst\u00fctzen. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns Freude bereitet, und die uns dankbar macht. In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist mehr als ein Motto, es ist eine Lebensphilosophie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nach diesem Prinzip haben Arno A Evers und ich \u00fcber Jahrzehnte gelebt und gearbeitet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deshalb sind wir Freunde geworden, sozusagen seelenverwandt.
