I'd say it's the transportation of anything, period. Having to move goods and people long distances requires a large amount of energy to be used. EV is the best way to go for that issue currently, but we're still left with your issue, that is the transmission of energy. While energy is never lost, we're not being the most efficient with the use of it.

Thx for response @jimmy.

There has been discussion about co2 per gdp/capita vs co2/capita.
The usa is more efficient with co2 when it comes to producing gdp/capita then china which then could be used as an argument to claim that china is worse since it does create less wealth/capita with the co2 they use.
But imo this is a very unfair way to look at it,china is still under development and should not be compared to fully developed countrys which are more efficient (for now).
Also,if there would be a co2 budget for every citizen in the world then who cares how china is using that budget, As long as they are below the budget they can spend it however they like. Its their loss and their decision,not ours.
And If there was a co2 budget/capita (which I think would be the most fair way to approach it) then china sits way lower then usa.
That they do create less wealth with their budget is kinda irrelevant,unless the usa would open up their borders and let in everyone who would want to so that everyone could benefit from their more efficient use of co2.

good that Germany is starting to use a new coal-fired power plant next year then.

Rofl thinking you can hold merkel to any promises about energy xd
Why are they still opening new plants then ?
France has actually pledged to close every single coal plants by 2022. And its only realisable thanks to nuclear power. Germany has no way of being independant from coal because they have no reliable back up plans. Once again i'd like to remind everyone that Germany has been, for the last 30years, literally doubling the emission of co2 per capita than France. can europe stop following goddamn germany its not a model for anything except failure

I don't know anything about German Politics but is it not stupid to make these pledges if it is not obtainable or is it common to make them and not follow through? Do people just forget or is it common practice to over promise and not deliver at all?


I don't know anything about German politics either but I would assume it is similar to most in that doing a good try is enough to get a pass. Would get called out by opponents if totally unrealistic. I don't think it reaches US level of outright lying being accepted but can't be sure.

German politicians (basically all apart from the greens) care more About 20 coal Workers losing their jobs than 400 renewable Energy Workers.
Biomass got destroyed in 2012, wind got destroyed in 2018 and PV will likely be capped next year.

Germany also failed their part of a deal that would massively increase the transport of goods by rail instead of on the street. Friggin Italy held up their side of the deal. Italy and Switzerland are now actually starting to push for an alternate route thru France.
Its totally incapable to get any large scale project done, be it an Airport, a Trainstation, their army or some friggin traintracks thru mostly easy terrain.

True that.
It's Deutsche Bahn. What did you expect? It combines everything that Germany is not. It is NEVER in time. Half the shit isn't working (to have a working AC in a train in summer is a miracle). Sometimes trains are more crowded than in China or India simply because of some miscalculation.

To the building projects like S21 and Berlin airport: There is just to much politics involved and it is all done public. If it was done by a private contractor we wouldn't have any of the problems, because 1. the cost would have been calculated correctly and not some politic number and 2. all contractors could have been chosen by quality and not who is the cheapeast, which often enough means you have to do some work twice cause it wasn't done right

lots of the above Statement is hyperbolic but does strike some valid points.

you forgot to mention the toll System for the Autobahn as a massive (political) failure and waste of public Money (-:

What about calling the non existant Airport in Berlin, the non existant and unneeded Train station in Stuttgard, the horrible state of your Military and the non existant railroads failures of the German state is "hyperbolic"?
What was the last succsesfull large scale project Germany actually got done (ideally whiteout of tons of drama and cost explosions around it)?

I'm not sure about the airport, but I wouldn't call the train station in Stuttgart unneeded. It was completely outdated and not fullfilling it's purpose anymore. And it was supposed to be the symbol of a new era of train travelling. Now it is a symbol of the clusterfk that is the Bahn, politics, inland travel and waste of tax money.

Comparing any overcrowded Train Service to the implied Indian extremes is hyperbolic.

The Train Station in Stuttgart is of the utmost necessity, though mistakes during the planning Phase more or less render it unable to cope with forseeable increase in demand (iirc).
at the Moment there is no Long distance Train connecting the Airport, which is insane and stupid. That should've been rectified by the S21 Project.

As a Berliner I'll reseve my praise for the aiport cause I have None.

I guess the only mammoth Projects seeing relatively timely finishes are Pipelines?

Apart from that the switch from low calorific to high calorific natural gas grids is going rather smoothly at the Moment.

Thanks.

As for Stuttgard, the issue is that you build a Trainstation that even with the knowledge we have now, is not fit for the job.
The issues during planning, building and so, which are many, are just the cherry on top. This project would be a failure even if it had the smoothest construction phase you can imagine.


I don't know if building a new concert hall counts as "big Project". But yeah, aside from the miracoulous price increase and all these issues, it actually turned out pretty nice.

The one that one of residents showed to me as example of "colossal waste of money" ??? Many germans do not consider that project a success. Estimated cost: 76mln final 866 mln.
