Munich Looks to Natural Power
As most of us are setting aside money for holiday gifts, the City recently announced the creation of a billion-dollar budget to be spent on hydropower, solar power, wind farms and other forms of renewable energy. The OHU II will stop producing atomic power in 2020. By that time, Green politicians have suggested, at least 20 percent of the city’s energy should be taken from renewable energy sources. Sources of this kind are responsible for only 4 percent of Munich’s power today. With planned investments in an offshore wind park and a coalfired power plant in Nordrhein-Westfalen, however,
we should be as warm in 2021 as we are today.
