press release KlimaAllianz
While in Cancun, Mexico just to run the UN climate negotiations in Germany in over 20 new coal plants planned. To coal kilns participate numerous municipal - as well as in the case of the planned coal-fired power plant in Krefeld. Community groups and organizations from all cities, the city works on Krefeld coal power plant are involved or plan to their city works call together with the climate alliance to consistently focus on renewable energy instead of investing in another climate killer.
"Germany will miss its climate protection goals if we hold on to this climate most harmful form of energy. It is irrelevant whether a coal plant here in Aachen and elsewhere is clear: We want to help make our city works as quickly as possible to switch to renewable energies, "said Elanor Kluttig of the citizens' initiative" Clean energy Aachen ", which since mid- this year with a strong public petition against the building of the pile in Krefeld makes.
Dr. Karl Otto Schallaböck, energy expert at the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy adds that only if Germany can manage its energy supply as quickly as possible, air just to rebuild it on an international Level give the opportunity to follow countries like China and India, our example. Despite all the efforts Germany remain among the countries with the highest CO2 emissions per capita. New coal power plants will not change that, so Schallaböck.
The full text of the call
"Stop the coal dirt: No participation of our public utilities at the new coal plant in Krefeld,"
Aachen / Berlin, 12.07.2010. Municipal public utilities are the epitome of this transformation. It was they, the massive projects in the renewable energy supported and expanded. They are the ones who advertise in local communities with green energy and a reliable Cooperation partner for clean energy represent. Involvement of local utilities in construction of climate-damaging coal-fired power plants would thus the recent commitment to a clean and sustainable electricity diametrically contrary. For this reason, we want to make our city work together to phase out the construction of climate-hostile and irrational coal power plants because climate change does not stop at city or national boundaries. On
are planned coal-fired power plant in Krefeld already Stadtwerke Fulda, Ulm, Flensburg, Dachau, Soest, Moers, Herzogenrath and Jena involved. Also Stadtwerke Aachen and Krefeld plan to get started. Enough! We encourage our city works, from the get out coal-fired power plant project in Krefeld. The successful referendum in Dachau, Dachau of the city works on the withdrawal of forces, has shown that this is possible. Our public utilities are to lead by example and pave the rapid shift to renewable energies in energy systems the way, rather than to participate in the construction of a climate killer.
