This proposed policy is anti-science, nor does it make economic sense. To reduce fossil fuel import dependency and accelerate Germany’s transition to the reliable and affordable renewables that will boost the economy, Germany should strengthen, not weaken its policy. ➡️ oilchange.org/news/germany...

Germany is at a crossroads. It can double down on fossil fuel projects of the past or invest in the clean energy future. Every 💶 locking countries into more oil & gas is a 💶 not invested in clean, affordable energy that strengthens energy security and economic competitiveness & protects communities.

This year, the same debate ended in under 30 minutes.

When asked how Marblehead should balance historic charm with new development, he is careful to say he is not an expert. Then he is not careful at all.

“This place isn’t nice because the houses are all old,” he says. “It’s nice because we’re very fortunate. It’s wealthy. It’s near the water. We’re not nice because there’s an old building with a plaque.”

“We’re not talking about skyscrapers,” he says. “We’re talking about townhouses. Three stories. If you put one next to a single-family house, what’s the difference?”
