Rüdiger Paschotta hat heute genau das publiziert, was jetzt als rationale, vernünftige und richtungsweisende Hilfestellung in allen Nachrichten sein müsste:

energie-lexikon.info/rp-energie-blo… Die richtige Analyse der Dreifachkrise (Gas, Strom und Trockenheit wg. Klima) ist unabdingbare Voraussetzung für ein Handeln, dass die Krisen nicht auch noch verstärkt,

Bei der pharmazeutischen Wissenschaft war das schon lang auffällig. Inzwischen betrifft es fast den gesamten Wissenschaftsbereich: Die Universitäten wurden ausgehungert & in die Abhängigkeit von kommerziellen Geldgebern getrieben. Keine gute Entwicklung.
mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=… Äußerlich wird das als "ökonomisch relevante Forschung" und "wirtschaftliches Instituts-Management" bezeichnet. Es hilft nicht, Vertrauen in die Wissenschaft zu gewinnen. Was Dr. Campbell für die Medizin formuliert, gilt für evidenzbasierte Wissenschaft überall:

Das war aber wirklich Zeit, dass das endlich korrekt aufbereitet and verbreitet wird: Masken! Masken! Masken! Und zwar gute (FFP2 oder FFP3) und richtig getragen.

zdf.de/nachrichten/pa… Bitte, ZDF, jetzt noch eine Anleitung, wie ich die Maske sicher abnehme, wie und wie lange lagere um sie wieder zu nutzen

As promised: The **shocking** concept alternative to annual renewable energy storage (which will always be quite expensive): I predict, lots of my friends will be angry to hear at the first time. Take your time & think about it. Here it comes, the most **shocking** part first.
(1) Use natural gas (as efficient as possible) for the time until we'll be able to substitute it with acceptable costs. ... BUT ...

@fionnstevenson @ElrondBurrell @Conversation Actually, this article talks a lot - but gives no practical recommendation.

#Passivhaus has always recommended 30 m³/Person/h fresh air supply. The air exchange rates given by this will be different in a school/a kindergarden/an office (with e.g. only 1 person sitting there). @fionnstevenson @ElrondBurrell @Conversation Do the math! In a typical school room that will be 3...6 ach. But, keep in mind, what you can implicitly read in that article: Even the highest vent.-rate will not 100% protect you; yo'll have to wear a mask, too. Because the droplets are in the airstream; and still can hit you

Actually,we heat our passive house with 1(one) 2.2 kW Minisplit-unit with an investment of less than 2500€ incl. installation.Even if you would use 2 of these (you'd never need more in a #Passivhaus), it's extraordinarely cheap. Total el consumption: 1072(heating)+56kWh(cooling)

There is NO problem if all buildings would use el for such heatpumps (if built to PH standard): max. electric power 525 W (!); no problem for the grid and no problem for a fully renewabale energy generation in this grid. (Your cooking plate has 2000W. )

As mentioned in the paper: These are outliers, you can easy detect these by your naked eye. There might be outliers also on the "low end"... but, that's irrelevant, because consumption<0 won't happen.

https://twitter.com/WolfgangFeist/status/1277158362816315392

Therefore, outliers on both sides contribute to higher mean value than actually present in this distribution. ( I'll try to quantify later.) Actually, this will not change any of the conclusions of the paper, on the contrary: It will give even more confidence.

@MarkSiddallRIBA @BarryMcCarron Another independent result confirming [Uhlig 2014]. The measurements have been made in a region with high radon actcivity in the soil. With HRV running, indoor Rn-activity just around the values of external air. Without HRV: see yourself. @MarkSiddallRIBA @BarryMcCarron What removes Rn also removes other indoor air pollutants: VOC,smells,dust (&the germs connected to dust).The removal rates are similar. Of course,also indoor CO2 is reduced(although that's not a 'pollutant').In one sentence: Indoor air in passive houses has an improved quality.

@buildingphysics @PassiveHouseBB @the_iPHA @phplusmag 1/6 #Ongrid or #offgrid is not an inherent part of the #passivehouse standard. You can do whatever you want. That said: Our *recommendation* is to install renewable generation and to connect to the grid. @buildingphysics @PassiveHouseBB @the_iPHA @phplusmag 2/6 Why not inherent?Because it's of minor importance.The solution of the climate-crisis is to reduce climate-gas emissions as far as possible (to almost zero in 50yrs).This is best done by improving efficiency (a factor 10 is doable). #Passivehouse concentrates on this potential

@ClarkAllister @douglasbholt @Dr2NisreenAlwan Yes, indeed. here I have to cite Carl Sagan again: "...in an uneasy truce with the more primitive brains beneath...".

Interesting discussion: Yes, of course, we do have to admit that science is not completely unconnected to us. @ClarkAllister @douglasbholt @Dr2NisreenAlwan 1) This is an one hand trivial - we use our brains to perform science. And our brain is full of bias.

1a It's always easier to accept this, if you look into the past: The geocentric bias was hard to eovercome e.g.. As was the absolute space bias (--> relativity theory)...

Now: The following article from Björn Smedman was already published April 11th - now already almost a month ago. In contrast to the assumptions of Tegnell and Giesecke this article has aged well, what is factually very sad.

openias.org/swedens-covid1… From this article its the first time I understand there the wrong assumptions from the Swedish CDC came from; I thought, that these had been pure speculation; but, I have to apologize, it's not. It was based on facts - but these there interpreted really wrong.

@danielgardiner @FireMountainGl1 @DianaUrge @DrEricDing @tomaspueyo Hi Daniel - I would just not care to much for the destracting posts; these are just there to spread chaos. You will not convice these - may be even bots. The facts are as follows: @danielgardiner @FireMountainGl1 @DianaUrge @DrEricDing @tomaspueyo The only tacts you have for sure are the death statistics. You can look for the excess deaths. What is been declared as "confirmed Coviid-19" deaths is dependent on the conting method, may not include people dying at home, it's different in every country.

Total trainwreck of the often-praised "swedish approach" to <not> fight the Corona-pandemic

These are only excess deaths up to Apr. 21st.The'official number' at that time was 1765: the dying goes on.IF mitigated now,there'll be at least ~8000 unnecessary deaths

Details later (A) Let us start with "what to do now?"...

( I) Swedish nations deserves an apology from their CDC and the government.

(II) Persons with a moral background and competence have to be put in charge of the further approach (and fast!).

Thanks, yes, but you should: Because energy efficiency is key for a much more humane, liberating and sustainable path for the future :-)

It will make these excesses of unsustainable "renewable industries" (like the excessive sugar cane production) impossible. Because, that is a point "planet of the humans" got right: There have been such excesses.
