Book excerpt: Let yourself be inspired by the fact that change opens up many opportunities, that change is very exciting without exaggeration and that change can trigger a lot of enthusiasm for the future. Please do not allow yourself to be unsettled by the deliberately created confusion on the part of the lobby against an energy transition, as the lobby against an energy transition deliberately presents incomplete arguments. The energy transition must be viewed holistically so that the interrelationships that have a significant influence on climate change and environmental impacts can be recognized. The energy transition must be viewed holistically so that the sound technological expertise and infrastructure know-how can be optimally integrated into the existing energy markets and can also expand the existing energy markets. This energy transition is not the first energy transition. If the energy transition is to succeed and if the agreed climate targets are to be met, there is no alternative to the immediate expansion of renewable energies. Yes, the energy transition costs money. But the results of the insurance companies show that the effects of increasing climate change will lead to an increase in damage events such as storms, floods, inundations and heat-related fires and that the expected costs will be much higher, probably by a factor of ten or more.
