TOWARD A NEW IMPASSE WITH THE ELECTRIC CAR ?! electromobility AND climate change
Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at 18:30
WITH Winfried wolf *
Theme of the Conference: For 50 years, the automobile industry has been trying to become supposedly (more) ecological or at least improve its image through various technical innovations: catalytic converters, fuel-efficient cars (Swatch-Car), biofuels AND now: The CAR electric. The Lorateur de la soirée retains an extremely critical attitude towards this trend AND will aptly illustrate why, in his opinion, electromobility should be considered as an inoperative and misleading trick played by the automobile industry. In Winfried Wolf's eyes, the CO2 balance of an electric car, throughout its life cycle, is hardly better than that of a car equipped with a (fuel-efficient) combustion engine. Beyond that, new problems would be added.
Electric cars are only a NEW IMPULSE for Lorateur. Wolf sees the electromobility as a logical consequence of the current competition that dominates the global automotive industry. Chinese market is booming AND Chinese automakers are poised to become world leaders (and build more than 30 new nuclear power plants to cover the electricity needs!). Western car manufacturers, for their part, are dependent on the Chinese market.
Winfried Wolf has developed the concept of an alternative transport organization that brings together in its center non-motorized mobility (walking, cycling), the urban tramway, the commuter train AND rail transport. Wolf's conclusion: The power of automakers is so great AND the destructive dynamics they follow is so powerful that a socialization of the automotive industry is on the agenda.
The Conference will be followed by an exchange between the lecturer AND the Minister of Energy and Land Management, Claude Turmes.
The Conference is held in German, A direct oral translation into French will be provided.
