Energy is a key sector for effective climate change mitigation, and 100% renewable energy globally is a mandatory pre-condition in order to stop and reverse the climate crisis.
Wind power, together with solar energy, has seen a tremendous boom over the last 25 years, becoming a pillar of the energy supply in many countries across the globe.
In spite of the climate crisis and the energy crisis induced by the Russian war against Ukraine, new installations in wind power dropped in the year 2022, compared with 2021.
Janine and Stefan discuss the role of wind power, its success stories, special challenges and also the causes for the most recent slowdown in most of the leading wind power nations. Eventually they talk about how wind energy can be an essential part of a climate friendly, decentralised and more democratic energy supply and what the main barriers are to realise this vision.
