The German response to the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident was possibly the most significant change of policy towards nuclear power outside Japan, leading to a sudden and very significant shift in the underlying power generation structure in Germany. This provides a very useful natural...

Wer trägt die Kosten der Energiewende? Wie wirkt sie sich auf den Strompreis aus? Damit hat sich in verständlicher Form etwa M. Kreutzfeldt ("Das Strompreis-Komplott", ID-A 52/14) befasst. Die Professoren Bontrup (vgl. etwa ID-G 53/05, 28/00) und Marquardt gehen das Thema nun aus...

The German decision to finally phase-out nuclear electricity has led to a debate on its effects on electricity prices, emission prices in the European emission trading system, as well as on international electricity trade. We investigate these effects with a Electricity market model for Europe...

This paper investigates whether an inefficient allocation of abatement, due to constraints on the use of currently available low carbon mitigation options, can promote innovation in new technologies and eventually generate welfare gains. We focus on the case of nuclear power phase out, when...

This paper analyzes how policy changes affect shareholder wealth in the context of environmental regulation. We exploit the unique and unexpected German reaction to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which involved the immediate shutdown of almost half of Germany's nuclear reactors while...

Die aktuelle energiepolitische Debatte hat die längerfristigen Perspektiven einer nachhaltigen Energieversorgung allzu sehr aus dem Blick verloren. Vor allem die Potentiale der Kernfusion werden in der öffentlichen Diskussion kaum wahrgenommen. Dabei würden sich viele Probleme, die mit dem...

Nach der Atomkatastrophe in Fukushima hat die Bundesregierung beschlossen, bis Mitte Juni die Zukunft der Atomenergie in Deutschland zu überdenken. Dabei können unterschiedlich weitgehende Szenarien betrachtet werden. Sie reichen von einer Rücknahme der im letzten Herbst beschlossenen...

In this article we demonstrate how challenging greenhouse gas reduction targets of up to 95% until 2050 can be achieved in the German electricity sector.1 In the analysis, we focus on the main requirements to reach such challenging targets. To account for interdependencies between the...

Die Bundesregierung hat sich im Koalitionsvertrag auf eine Verlängerung der Laufzeiten deutscher Atomkraftwerke festgelegt. Dort wurde ebenfalls angekündigt, dass ein Teil der bei den Betreibern entstehenden Zusatzgewinne über einen Vorteilsausgleich abgeschöpft werden soll. Beide...

Der renommierte Historiker schrieb mit "Ära der Ökologie" (ID-G 15/11) bereits ein umfangreiches Buch über die Umweltbewegung und widmet sich nun der zivilen Nutzung der Atomenergie in Deutschland. Radkau hat dafür mit dem Kernenergie-Experten Hahn seine vor 30 Jahren erschienene...
