energy demand. That
is a scandal! The result
of this misbelief is an
immense wastefulness
in the use of energy.
If protecting climate,
environment and bio
diversity requires less
consumption of energy,
water and minerals, we
better have to start with
correct physics.
M.K. : The increase of energy efficiency is the main point of your theory
for a better future. Your goal is to raise the productivity of resources up
to 80%. Here, at the m:ut symposium, are many German decision makers. If I‘d tell them to increase energy efficiency about the amount of that
percentage, they would call me crazy.
Prof. Dr. von Weizsäcker
Well, actually this
increase is just the
beginning. So many
people think I’m crazy,
and if you call it brave
of me to propose such technology and correct
things, then indeed I’m physics.
brave. I find it completely normal. It’s just
good science, good
