• As a result of Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the traffic light coalition has had to change course on energy policy. Security of supply is suddenly just as urgent as climate protection.
• The situation is also forcing consumers to reconsider their energy consumption: there are new arguments for electric cars or heat pumps.

• Is it really realistic to get 100 percent of the energy from renewables? How will the CO2 price develop? The answers to these and 28 other questions can be found here.

A year ago nobody would have thought it possible that diesel would be more expensive than premium petrol at Germany’s petrol stations. Or the electricity bill triples.
