Überschwemmungen, Artensterben, Völkerwanderungen, Dürren, Supertornados - der Klimawandel ist keine am Horizont drohende Gefahr mehr, sondern längst in unserem Alltag angekommen. Die Lage ist sehr ernst, aber wir haben durchaus Konzepte, den verheerenden Klimatrend aufzuhalten und umzukehren.Alle durch den Menschen erzeugten klimarelevanten Einflüsse lassen sich auf einen einzigen Faktor zurückführen: Energie. Wer die aktuelle Klimadynamik stoppen und sogar umkehren will, muss daher auch auf die drei zentralen Fragen zur Energie und dem Klima eine Antwort finden: Wie genau beeinflusst unsere bestehende Art des Energieverbrauchs das Klima? Welche Möglichkeiten haben wir, Energie ohne negative Klimaeffekte zu erzeugen? Welche technologischen Fortschritte werden uns dabei in der Zukunft konkret helfen?Lars Jaeger gibt einen Ausblick auf eine mögliche klimafreundliche Wirtschaft der Zukunft, beschreibt, wie eine ökologische Gesellschaft funktionieren kann und wie lokale Energiekonzepte weltweiten Erfolg haben können. Er kommt dabei mit einer klaren und optimistischen Botschaft: Wir verfügen schon heute über die technischen Möglichkeiten (und in der Zukunft umso mehr), um den verheerenden Klimatrend ohne signifikante Wohlstandsbeschränkung umzukehren. Die Hindernisse liegen vor allem in ökonomischen und politischen „Sachzwängen' und partikulären wirtschaftlichen Interessenskonflikten. Diese zu überwinden, darum geht es in der zukünftigen Energiepolitik.
