The district is planning a climate conference for the end of May, at which the municipalities will present their goals.

SPD district chief Florian Schardt fears a show.

District – At the climate conference of the district on May 25th, the greenhouse gas targets of the 29 municipalities will be presented.

The SPD in the district council supports the climate protection process, but demands more than just a show.

They fear the conference will become a celebration of self-adulation.

Why?

The EU wants to be climate-neutral by 2050, Germany by 2045. Although Bavaria has more industry and less wind than average, it still has the courage to do so by 2040.

Because it's popular.

And now the municipalities are presenting their goals at the conference and saying: 2035, who offers less?

What shoud that?

Municipalities can neither conclude international energy contracts nor build supra-regional power grids, let alone set rules.

You are highly dependent on others.

In this respect, I actually count more on a climate show than on climate protection.

Doesn't the appointment make sense so that pressure is created and implementation can be implemented more quickly?

Absolutely.

But to do this, we have to look at the hurdles instead of discussing fictitious goals calculated in the Excel tool.

Rows of new PV systems cannot be connected to the grid or are curtailed because there is a lack of personnel and line capacities.

Wind turbines near the airport are not approved despite new findings and changed air traffic control requirements.

A state government concept for pumped storage has been in the drawer for over ten years.

In no federal state are boreholes for near-surface geothermal energy approved as hesitantly as in Bavaria.

That has to come up.

I think unrealistic CO2 targets that can only be achieved by buying outrageously expensive certificates with questionable benefits are superfluous.

At the latest when the first kindergarten cannot be renovated because of this,

How could the climate conference bring everyone further?

There are still two months left.

My request is to invite Bayernwerke, air traffic control and representatives of the state ministries and to ask them the following questions: How far can we get with the PV expansion with the existing grid?

Where are wind turbines possible in the future according to the changed specifications of the German air traffic control?

Why can't holes be drilled in Bavaria that have been approved in North Rhine-Westphalia or Saxony?

We need to focus more on the long-term storage of energy.

And openly and honestly discussing two questions: How much does it all cost?

And who pays the bill?
