Sanfte Energieversorgung : Möglichkeiten - Probleme - Grenzen
This report deals with an alternative future path for the energie economy of the Federal Republic of Germany which is called the "soft" energy path by its supporters. This "soft" energy path is distinguished by the use of renewable energy flows in those locations where energy is needed and it is supposed to have some advantages. It is said to be flexible with respect to energy supply, easy to handle, of a reasonable size with respect to energy supply units, of minimal risk, and to fit the specific needs of the energy consumers. This "soft" energy path - if one is to believe their supporters -- is to be preferred for technical, ecological, economic and social reasons, as the past development of conventional energy systems shows a tendency towards increasingly large units and mutually dependent subsystems (the so called "hard" energy path). Our analyses, however produce the result that in applying all possibilities of decentralized and centralized regenerative energy flows, as well as applying the same rigorous means of energy saving possibilities, approximately 30% of our future energy demand can be covered by "soft" energy technologies. The demand for a complete structure change of our energy supply to "soft" energy must therefore be classified as unrealistic. The results of the comparison of costs of various space heating systems show that even with further energy price increases of the fossil energy carriers the "soft" energy systems (e .g . solar systems) remain uneconomic. Supplementary to the economic analysis purely on a business level, an additional analysis of the national economy has been performed. Because of the low flexibility of supply, the increased vulnerability, the higher capital demands and the higher labour input of the "soft" energy technologies, considerable economic excess costs are to be expected . These costs would not occur with an energy supply system which deliberately allocates and uses the specific advantages of various energy systems with respect to the different energy needs. ...
