Germany's energy dilemma / Zaritsky, B   Journal Article
Zaritsky, B Journal Article

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract THE RADICAL ENERGY POLICY SHIFT declared by the German government still remains a priority theme in public debate in the FRG Despite the impressive growth of the proportion of renewable energy sources (RES) in electricity generation, experts and the business community are having increasing doubts about the wisdom of the course taken by the Government in quickly winding down the nuclear energy industry, pushing out hydrocarbon energy resources and speedily introducing RES. How will the break-up of the existing structure of the energy balance tell on the competitiveness of German industry and on household budgets as electricity prices will inevitably rise in the future? Can the weather-dependent wind and solar power plants reliably provide an uninterrupted supply of electricity to businesses? What financial resources will be needed to upgrade and expand the network infrastructure for integrating new parks of RES stations into the national grid?

Summary/Abstract HAMBURG-In 1982, a young Turkish immigrant named Kemal Sahin opened a new 430-square-foot gift shop on a busy commercial street in Aachen, Germany. Sahin didn't want to start his own business, but he had to. It was his only chance to stay in the country. From a farm family in an isolated Anatolian mountain town in Turkey, Sahin arrived in Aachen as a teenager carrying nothing but an old suitcase, two packs of cigarettes, and some money pinned inside his jacket. He worked his way through university to earn an engineering degree on full scholarship. He'd thought this would lead to a good, entry-level job in German industry. "Instead," he recalls, "they told me I had to leave."
