Czech President Klaus on Friday had a "positive" news for claims to the Austrian public: "We have now moved on solar energy." Czech Republic will therefore in future less need for "dangerous" energy sources have, Klaus said after a meeting with President Fischer and Lower Austria's Governor Pröll in Geras.
Fischer stressed that "confess rules" Austria and the Czech Republic to that every country has its own energy policy and decide is responsible for it, but at the same time take care of the concerns and arguments of the neighborhood. Klaus confirmed this. He added: "We believe in global warming." Therefore, future not so much energy for heating, the Czech president, who is known for his skepticism about measures to mitigate climate change.

Solar energy systems for roofs in Germany
Munich. Solar energy is a topic that has in recent years in Germany increased more and more important.
Solar energy is a topic that has in recent years in Germany increased more and more important. The decision whether to install solar panels on the roofs of busy homeowners in Germany, therefore increasing. Since solar energy system solar system but is not the same, the different types of energy are defined first donation.
In solar thermal systems passes through a liquid substance to a medium. Thus, the liquid is heated by sunlight. This type of solar heating systems is often used for water heating in homes.
In contrast, it is in thermal solar power plants to significantly larger plants that generate electricity usually in larger quantities.
In photovoltaic systems, solar energy generated DC, as a result of using an inverter in the regional electricity circuit is passed.

Pitfalls in solar energy
photovoltaic systems are not covered by homeowners insurance automatically
Bergisch Gladbach - More and more households produce their own electricity or supplement their existing heating system with a photovoltaic system on the roof. The share of photovoltaic installations grew in German households in recent years by more than 60 percent. What is the environmental aspects of a positive development may, in case of damage occasioned by the risks in property insurance for homeowners angry: Then that is when the insurance does not cover the costly photovoltaic solar panels on the roof.
"Miss many residential buildings insured to obtain information, what protection to the existing policy is an actual and know, therefore, that the energetic masterpieces are not automatically covered," shows the professional practice of Jens Grönke, Expert and Managing Director of Regudat Ltd. "In this context information then only a few homeowners insurance on their buildings to upgrade to the roof, "he added. In a smaller storm damage to the plant can get quickly to the insured a few thousand euro for repair. In addition, the entire building is underinsured, as the new acquisition of a photovoltaic solar renewable energy system increases the overall value of the building significantly. this is not recalculated and confirmations, insurance, insurance value, the causes of this increased under-insurance. The sum insured for the building is located below the currently valid insurance value and needs to be adapted.

expansion of solar energy will be accelerated
Dusseldorf - E. ON to expand its solar activities and will continue to make solar energy as the second pillar in the field of renewable energies. Within the next three years would make E. ON in his own words photovoltaic and solar thermal power plants for commercial production. The company enjoys in the photovoltaic sector already has a well equipped project pipeline of 300 MW in France and Italy. In Spain, E. ON to build two solar Abengoa Solar thermal power plants with a total capacity of 100 megawatts, the company said.
The Germans are nuclear critics
Old gate. The running times of nuclear power plants extend and promote the expansion of renewable energies - both holding EU Commissioner Günther Oettinger for "reasonable and necessary" as the "Forum Altensteig" erklärte.Eine hour to put the former Prime Minister of Baden-Wuerttemberg and current EU Commissioner of the questions Frank Krause. Had gathered along with representatives of politics and leaders from industry, trade and commerce.
Mayor Gerhard Feeß not only took over the greeting born in 1953 in Ditzingen politician, he practiced criticism "on the zigzag course of the Federal Government" in terms of energy. Old trail had assured that the terms of the nuclear power plants are not renewed, and had then made investments in the millions.
wanted to-day politics Oettinger not comment directly, but the European coverage described with power. 14 of the 27 EU countries relied on nuclear power. "But it applies to France 80 percent of its needs." Sweden had made his exit to reverse. And the Chinese would build just 25 units. This should not be disregarded in the assessment. "But in no other country in the world, the heart swings as high as in Germany."
According to the Commissioner of the energy demand increases over the next decades, "dramatic". dine The goal by 2030 about 20 percent of electricity consumption from renewable sources (wind, solar power, hydro, biomass, geothermal), Oettinger has to be realistic. At the same time will result shows that one in the foreseeable future could do without nuclear power. The final disposal of nuclear waste should not be moved abroad, "not to Siberia."
Because the wind farm in Simmersfeld the earnings, according to the operator failed to meet expectations, the question arises whether a gap between desire and reality. The 57-year-old is convinced that the plants would no longer supported so strongly. His motto is: "Wind in the north, the sun in the south." When Germany is heavily dependent on gas from the delivery of third countries. "We are thus vulnerable to blackmail?" Oettinger denies this "Russia wants to sell, to build new roads, as is the dependence of each other."
Although the Germans knew very well informed what a liter of gasoline costs, but not how much they must pay for the kilowatt hour of electricity, can not understand Oettinger. "For me the washing machine is turned on, not when the price is very high, at midnight, when I go to bed."
Finished, the hour-long interview with personal questions to the Commissioner. No, the activities in Brussels, had not originally been on his career plan, but now he feels very comfortable. After Altensteig he would like to come "because my brother is gone to St. Christopher's School, also had his parents had an apartment in masters.

The solar heating system in Kabul is ready
Aid project initiator Siegfried Geisser and companies in the Upper Allgäu pass - Surgery now available in winter
The Afghan and German flags were hoisted. An Afghan minister sang a verse from the Koran poignant. The Afghan Health Minister Dr. Rahim Pashtoonya and clinic operators Gerolf Dechentreiter cut through the red tape. Dechentreiter stirred thanked all contributors, especially on the ideas, architect Geisser Siegfried of the Rotary Club Oberstaufen-Immenstadt. "It was a godsend," he said. And two Afghan ministers praised effusively the Allgäu craftsmen and the German engineering and craftsmanship.
With the opening of the heating and cooling system of Irene Salimi Children's Hospital in Kabul, a goal was reached that seemed completely unrealistic, as Ulrich Kirsch of Sonthofen, chairman of the Armed Forces Association, two years ago at the Rotary Club Oberstaufen-Immenstadt in Thalkirchdorf about the hospital said. These only children's hospital in Afghanistan with European standards had to fall, when it is in the 1500 m altitude in Kabul cold, set the whole operation activity, because no heating was present. That was the architect Immenstädter Siegfried Geisser no peace: he flew to Kabul and observed that the solution is a solar system. Geisser contacted the company Holzberger in fish.
The company owner was quick, as Geisser the entire planning and perform for free - and later, as the realization of decency of the project, found the company enough skilled workers in the Upper Allgäu, who took an adventurous trip to Kabul and the week-long employment is up.
Nevertheless, the project would have been prohibitively expensive, if not the Foreign Office, the Dechentreiter Foundation, the St John's Ambulance, Misereor and other Rotary and Kiwaniclubs were entered. 60 percent took over the Foreign Office. And a variety of individuals, according to Rotary donated after a call in our newspaper.
In the implementation, there were a lot of adversity, such as the Rotary Club Immenstadt-Oberstaufen explains: Because of the tax liabilities of a carrier material container remained on the Afghan-Iranian border are for weeks. A container shipment was seized by Chechen and Arab Taliban and flared. Because not "smeared", was also delayed in customs clearance. The aircraft with the replacement container for the captured could not be run in Amsterdam because of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. The entire electrical system of the hospital turned out to be far away from European standards. She was transferred from scratch. The Allgäu, who worked in Kabul and locals Desboutins had to improvise a lot. As an essential material in April had not yet arrived, flew back to the Upper Allgäu, a few weeks later, then tackle the final stage.
Now the children's hospital is one of the most advanced solar heating systems in the world worth having around one million euros: For 2000 square feet ceiling heating, 147 solar tube collectors with heat exchangers, storage space, oil burner, refrigerator and hot water system installed and connected. As a result, each year hundreds of children saved by surgery, it is said of Rotary.

Why saving sometimes really hurts
From our editor Michael Schmitz
Higher fees, lower subsidies: 54 still secret proposals are submitted to external experts to the City Council as saving ideas for 2011. You will not always meet with reciprocal love.
Three years ago, Margot waste stream and Manfred Maxi Mini set for a warm Nordbad one - now the heat could still be stopped. TV photo: archive / Roland morning Trier. Those who submit proposals for saving power are not necessarily popular. This experience had to the green City Council Gerd Dahm, make mid-2007 when he brought the issue into play, whether it was really necessary, already at 6 clock in the Trier Nordbad to have a water temperature of 24 degrees. This has indeed been at night to pre-heat with gas, solar heating alone would not create. What followed was an outcry of indignation among the swimmers and early 2500 from Manfred Maxi Mini, the head of the Independent Citizens Movement Maxi Mini (UBM, today FWG) collected signatures for a warm Nordbad. The savings proposal was quickly off the table. Now he is back.
Mobilized and collected signatures
This time not from Dahm brought into play, but by external experts. Three employees of the Municipal Community Office for Public Management (KGSt, see extra) since early October have developed energy-saving suggestions. Overall, they can be loud Government identified more than 600 topic areas, where savings in the coming years. 54 proposals will be implemented in 2011. Details do not refer the city nor the KGSt because the discussion in the Steering Committee on Tuesday not want to prejudge - then will decide what will be included in the budget. Overall, the city could be saved with the proposals KGSt 1.6 million euros. The smallest proposed bringing 750, the largest 300 000 euros, said the press office with request to TV.
"Any proposal to put public finances take an audience anywhere," says Dirk Greskowiak, head of the division of project support KGSt who has worked in Trier on the proposals. "No matter what community, we advise: Most of our work are not at all funny." The same goes for some of the proposals that are in Trier for debate. By TV information, for instance, involves
Business tax: An increase has been discussed, but again from the table.
Fees: The fees in the municipal music school could be increased. Also on the table is the proposal to increase nursery or kindergarten fees.
Grants to independent providers: A recommendation is to KGSt TV information to reduce the subsidies from the city to free carriers (eg, social organizations or associations such as the Palais eV or the mobile game action). 200 000 € at a volume of five million euros at present is the question.
Copy Fee: For a discussion is, publishers of every student in Trier a monthly € for copies of education materials. 90 000 € extra revenue should bring the year.
Group grants: The interview is the reduction of subsidies from the city to the city council factions. The fund thus secretaries, partly CEO post. Also for the allowance of the city councils, there is a reduction proposal.
Entrance fees and user fees: Independent of KGSt list has been discussed behind the scenes, such as whether the municipal swimming pool entrance fees should be raised. Conversely, it is there, of course - and this is the proposal to KGSt - reduce material costs, in other words, for example, the water temperature in the lower Nordbad.
Everything so far only suggestions, as I said. Manfred Mini Maxi times already announced that he would watch the whole thing critically. It will not be the only response.

Solar heating for Children's Hospital is ready to help
This is done with the support of Oberallgäuer company built solar heating in a hospital in Kabul. As the Local newspaper reports, the Children's Hospital the only hospital in Afghanistan with European standard.
Before the construction of Solar heating system they had to autumn, however, set the entire operation activity, because no heating was present. The project was initiated by the Rotary Club of Siegfried Geissler Immenstadt-Oberstaufen. After his call to local media Oberallgäuer many companies for the construction of the solar heating system have donated. The solar system has a value of about one million euros. 60 percent of the cost has taken over the Foreign Office.

solar geyser set
This is a great solar geyser set which adopted high technology of 24 Vacuum glass tubes with heat pipes (No water in tubes) The size of the pressurized tank is 50 gallons Its fit for the use of dishwasher, washing machines, bath or showers for (1-8 people) in a household It combines the high efficiency absorptiveness with a fashionable design. Features: Two layers of evacuated glass tubes and one absorber fin to ensure high absorption and conductivity. Heat conducted by the medium inside heat pipe transfers the heat faster and more efficiently. Reliable high pressurized water inner tank of 1.5 mm thickness and 55 mm of insulation to lockup the temperature. Freeze proof. Since there is no water in the vacuum tubes it will not freeze - ever. A couple of hours of daylight are enough to have a permanent hot water supply even on rainy and cloudy days, since the glass vacuum tubes absorb infra-red and ultraviolet rays. Since the vacuum tubes have a circular shape always the sun is striking their rays perpendicular to the tubes If a tube breaks there is no water leak If a tube breaks it can be easily replaced without the system having to be shut down. No lime or water scale. Turn on the tap, there is immediately hot water and the water is so clean because it uses the water directly from the tap, not from the tank When you take a shower you feel the pressure of the water, like feeling a relaxing and powerful massage. Thermal tank keeps the water hot up to 3 days if there is rain or cloudy days. Electric backup heater of 1500W. A useful if weather condition does not improve. Digital Solar Water Temperature controller to keep your water hot at your temperature desired. Free maintenance. DIY Installation easy to follow step by step. Can be installed on Ground, Flat or Pitched Roof 15~ 20 years life span. Manufactured by a company under ISO-9001 International standards and CE Certified.
