The Energy Lie

Why the Climate Goal is an Illusion and How We Can Still Manage a Turnaround

The climate book for realistic optimists

It will get hotter than we think. The climate goals that politicians are proclaiming will not be met. But what can be done? Bernd Spatzenegger advises us to implement what is already achievable today and gives many practical tips on how to do just that.

As an electrical and mechanical engineer, Bernd Spatzenegger is concerned with how to get heat and electricity to their destination—to households as well as commercial and industrial enterprises. In the process, he constantly encounters the topic of climate change and the question of what can be done today to reduce CO2 emissions. In his book, he explains how the international energy market works and provides practical answers to everyday questions about energy that will affect our future.
