path to zero...

“The Limits to Growth” was published in 1972 by the Club of Rome. In 1973, the oil crisis put an end to any notion of an unlimited supply of cheap energy that may have existed previously. 50 years later, however, we are still using energy waste­fully in almost all areas of life. Climate protec­tion demands and Russia’s war of aggression agai­nst Ukraine are forcing Europe to undergo a fundamen­tal reorganization in a very short period of time. Everything is being put to the test, but nothing is being demanded as urgently as the more efficient use of energy. The potent­ials for such an approach are enor­mous, but so are the demands: Germany’s primary energy demand alone must drop dramatically by 2030.
