Hermann Scheer on the Big mistake in the Energy Debate 2/3

Hermann Scheer (1944-2010): German Lawmaker, Leading Advocate for Solar Energy and "Hero for the Green Century" in One of His Final Interview

He was one of the world's leading advocates for solar power, has died at the age of sixty-six. The German economist and politician helped make Germany a renewable energy powerhouse and inspired many across the world to expand the use of solar power. Scheer had been member of the German Parliament for three decades and was the president of EUROSOLAR, the European Association for Renewable Energy. In 1999, he won the Right Livelihood Award for his "indefatigable work for the promotion of solar energy worldwide." When he received the award, he described solar energy as the energy of the people. We met up with Herman Scheer last month in Bonn, Germany, for what turned out to be one of his final interviews.

@kaieteurdevon

he was unfortunately killed few weeks ago. After heavily wistleblowing about the nuclear industries business.

And the amount of views shows me that there is no demand for democracy

in the angloamerican world at all.

It rather seems like the puplic loves the communism, that is implemented in the western society right now that nobody will be able to escape after you all did sell your mind.

Hermann’s the man. He talks so much sense. So clear and direct.
