Energy of Life

The sun is the most powerful source of energy in our galaxy and could theoretically supply the entire human race with electricity without difficulty, but to what extent are the technologies available that should bring us into this new era of electricity? Perhaps wind power is the more promising alternative? Wind farms are being built all over the world at full speed in order to expand the energy supply through wind. But what about the cost-benefit calculation of wind energy? Is the expensive investment in wind turbines worthwhile at all and can this technology cover our hunger for electricity?

The switch to renewable energies will not remain without consequences. And these will also affect the everyday lives of all people on earth. Will we have to limit our electricity consumption in the future because there is not enough left for everyone? Will we perhaps even have to take care of our own energy supply? How will we get from A to B in the future without oil and gas? How do we fly around the globe without kerosene? Mobility is one of the world's biggest drivers of energy consumption. The transport of people and goods by road, rail and air accounts for around 34 percent of energy consumption. The electrification of mobility has already begun and could - as the example of Norway shows - be a solution. But not for trucks and industrial vehicles. Is fuel cell technology the alternative here?
