Energiezukunft / Hermann Scheer - Der Energethische Imperativ

Obwohl Energiekonzerne mittlerweile auch in erneuerbare Energien investieren, ist deren Hauptaugenmerk der Profit von fossilen Energien.
Sie bzw. deren Handlanger, die Politik, kalkuliert möglichst bis zum letzten Tropfen Öl, bis zur letzten Tonne Kohle und bis zum letzten Kubikmeter Erdgas, in deren denken immer noch die höherwertigen Energien; Sonnenenergie oder Wind lässt sich ja als Ressource nicht verkaufen.
Wenigstens haben sie sich eingestanden, dass die zukünftige Energie bzw. das umfassend nutzbare Potential von erneuerbaren Energien unausweichlich werden, sodass die Auflösung des atomaren bzw. fossilen Weltbildes auch bei ihnen begonnen hat.

Die Existenz der etablierten Energiewirtschaft ist eng verknüpft mit mit den herrschenden Produktionsverhältnissen und Konsumbedinungen, sprich mit der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftsordnung und den politische Institutionen. Das die derzeitige weltweite Wirtschaftsordnung die Zerstörung unseres schönen Planeten zur Folge hat bzw. voller Ungerechtigeiten steckt verdrängt der Mensch über eine Vielzahl von Ablenkung. Die Mächtigen erzählen aber immer weiter, dass das Potential der erneuerbaren Energien derzeit nicht ausreichend ist. Woran das wohl liegen mag ? ;-)

Bereits im Jahre 1909 schrieb der  Nobelpreisträger für Chemie -Wilhelm Ostwald- von der "unverhofften Erbschaft fossiler Brennmaterialen" und deren Verführung, die Grundsätze einer dauerhaften Wirtschaft vorläufig aus dem Auge zu verlieren und in den Tag hineinzuleben anstatt eine dauerhafte Wirtschaft, die auf Sonneneinstrahlung gründet, zu forcieren. Leider wurden Ostwalds Warnungen überhört, obwohl er seinerzeit weltweit als anerkannter Wissenschaftler galt.
Die Entwicklung ist bekannt; primärressourcen wie Kohle/Uran/Erdöl bzw. Erdgas sind in einigen wenige Orten der Welt angesiedelt. Um Milliarden von Konsumenten mit diesen Rohstoffen zu versorgen entwickelten sich transnationale Energiekonzerne, die eng mit den Regierungen dieser Welt zusammenarbeiten und weiterhin ihre Monopolstellung versuchen aufrechtzuerhalten.


Wege gibt es bekanntlich viele, vermutlich würde eine dezentrale Stromerzeugung Aspekte wie Gier/Macht und Wachststumswahn von einigen wenigen Konzernriesen durchkreuzen.


Um den Konzernen ihre Berechtigung zu entziehen gilt es zu überlegen, ob Mensch weiter seinen monatlichen Stromrechnungsbeitrag in deren Hals schiebt  oder ob er es einem Anbieter zu Verfügung stellt, der seine Gelder einzig und alleine in erneuerbare Energien investiert. Davon gibt es derzeit 4 Anbieter

Vom Greenwashing der großen Energiekonzerne wie Eon, RWE, Vattenfall und co. sollte sich niemand mehr blenden lassen.

*Am Ostersamstag den 23. April 2011 ( 3 Tage vor dem 25. Jahrestag von Tschernobyl) um 22.00Uhr wird U.F.O. im NDR Fernsehen wiederholt!

*Zwölf Jahre. So lange soll die Laufzeit der deutschen Atomkraftwerke im Schnitt verlängert werden. Schon vor 35 Jahren kämpften Umweltschützer und Aktivisten für den Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie. Sie sei zu gefährlich, eine Bedrohung für die ganze Welt. 'Alles nur Panikmache', dachte die Bevölkerung. Bis zum 26. April 1986 - der Katastrophe von Tschernobyl.

*Christa (Julia Brendler) hat es im Drama 'U.F.O.' geahnt; wenn sie geistesabwesend in den Himmel starrt oder ihrem jungsten Sohn zuflüstert: 'Bodo, ich bin nicht verrückt. Ich weiß halt alles.' Aber wie soll ein zwölfjähriger Weltraumfan zwischen parentaler Weisheit und Wahnsinn unterscheiden?
Familienvater Robert (Jan Messutat), der pubertierende Sohn Mark (Sven Gielnik) oder die Menschen im Freibad. Sie haben wichtigere Dinge im Kopf: Die neue Arbeit oder die süße Mitschülerin. Christa ist da anders. Christa hat Panik. Und die überträgt sie schnell auf ihren Jüngsten Bodo (Henry Stange).
 Begleitet von alten Nachrichtensendungen und Zeitungsartikeln von 1986 bricht die harmonische Familie auseinander, verzweifelt an der Paranoia der Mutter. Realitätsnah und doch bizarr schlägt sie sich durch den Alltag, langsam verseucht, nicht von der Strahlung, sondern von der Angst.


*Regisseur Burkhard Feige lässt neben aller Dramatik auch den Humor nicht außer Acht. Die Versuche Bodos und seiner Freunde, die Verschwörungstheorien seiner Mutter zu beweisen, sind tragisch komisch. Und auch die ironielose Darstellung von Mode und Technik der Zeit ist äußerst unterhaltsam.

*Die USA hat am Unabhängigkeitstag (4. Juli 2008) nur wenig Grund zum Feiern. Los Angeles erstickt im Smog und wird zudem von einer Welle der Gewalt überrollt. Der Weltmacht gehen die Energiereserven aus. Das Unternehmen US-Ident forscht nach Alternativen. Währenddessen betrügt der Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson) seine Frau mit Porno-Darstellerin Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Dumm nur, dass er die Tochter von Senator Bobby Frost (Holmes Osborne) geheiratet hat. Schlimmer ist, dass der Boxer von einer neomarxistischen Untergrundbewegung erpresst wird. Sie drohen, mit brisanten Sex-Fotos an die Öffentlichkeit zu gehen. Sind Santaros und Frost einer von langer Hand geplanten Verschwörung zum Opfer gefallen?

*Zeitreisen, Terrorismus, abgründiger Humor und das Ende der Welt sind die Zutaten, aus denen der Autor und Regisseur des Kultfilms Donnie Darko diesen Genre-Mix aus Endzeit-Thriller und bissiger Sozialsatire schuf.

*Warum auch immer dieser Film zu solch einer Uhrzeit und bei diesem nicht erwähnenswerten Kanal ausgestrahlt wird - also entweder aufnehmen oder aus Videothek ordern oder...

*Berlin in den 30er Jahren: Charlotte (Fritzi Haberlandt) ist unsterblich in Hugo (August Diehl) verliebt, der jedoch ihre ältere Schwester heiratet, die ein Kind von ihm erwartet. Dennoch fühlt sich auch Hugo zu seiner Schwägerin hingezogen.
Charlotte lebt ihr eigenes Leben, übersteht den Krieg, wird dreifache Mutter, hat im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes eine Leiche im Keller und trifft nach Jahrzehnten, mit fast über 80, ihre große Liebe wieder. Und für Charlotte ist eines klar: das ist der Mann, auf den sie ihr ganzes Leben gewartet hat. Die Erfüllung dieser Leidenschaft liegt in der Bestätigung: Auch Hugo hat - zu spät - erkannt, dass es nur eine wirkliche Liebe in seinem Leben gab.

*Nach der erfolgreichen Inszenierung des Ingrid-Noll-Romans "Die Apothekerin" 1997 wagte sich Rainer Kaufmann drei Jahre später an die Adaption des Bestsellers der Autorin, der lange als unverfilmbar galt, da er mehrere Jahrzehnte umspannt. In geschickt verschachtelten Rückblenden liefert Rainer Kaufmanns Verfilmung des Ingrid-Noll-Romans nichts weniger als das Porträt eines Lebens, einer verhinderten Liebe und einer vergangenen historischen Epoche obendrein. Dank Kaufmanns schwereloser Inszenierung und stringenter Dramaturgie entlang der Liebesgeschichte Charlottes und Hugos bewältigt der Film seine Detailfülle völlig ohne Längen. Das gelingt nicht zuletzt auch deshalb, weil die Erzählung ständig zwischen zwei Zeitebenen pendelt.
