''Ich will doch gar nicht bremsen bei der Energiewende'', sagt Peter Altmaier im Interview mit Klimaretter.info. Aber faktisch tut er es. Und er tut noch viel mehr. Zunächst 2012 die brutale Kürzung der solaren Einspeisevergütung gegen alle Zusagen an die Branche. Eine moderate Kürzung von fünf Prozent pro Jahr war vereinbart. Dann die unsägliche Diskussion um die Strompreisbremse. Und jetzt auch noch das selbstherrliche Schulterklopfen des Ministers, dass er den Zubau der Photovoltaik erfolgreich gebremst habe. Ein wirklicher Umweltminister sollte sich aber für den Ausbau der PV loben, wenn sie denn vorankäme. Rösler und Altmaier sind aber die Chefbremser der Energiewende. Kommentar von Franz Alt

IEA: Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Erneuerbarer am Strommarkt nimmt weltweit immer mehr zu

Die Internationale Energie-Agentur (IEA) registriert eine zunehmende Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von erneuerbaren Energien im Stromsektor.

Bradley Manning: US 'aiding the enemy' charge a travesty of justice: Amnesty

''The charge of 'aiding the enemy' is ludicrous. What s surprising is that the prosecutors in this case, who have a duty to act in the interest of justice, have pushed a theory that making information available on the internet, whether through Wikileaks, in a personal blog posting, or on the website of The New York Times, can amount to 'aiding the enemy'.''

Saleh is the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit targeting six key members of the Bush Administration: George W.

Reversing the U.S. s military policing

Today in America, SWAT teams are deployed about 100 to 150 times per day, or about 50,000 times per year, a dramatic increase from the 3,000 or so annual deployments in the early 1980s, or the few hundred in the 1970s. The vast majority of today s deployments are to serve search warrants for drug crimes.

Everyone needs to be aware of the fall out from Fukushima. If you live in California, Oregon, Washington State or Canada (Pacific side), you need to contact your state representative and ask if your state s health department is monitoring and testing things like fish, water, soil and air samples.
