“Factcheck Energiewende: Science, not fiction”

Handelsblatt

A new book by physicist and German energy industry manager Thomas Unnerstall outlines key pro and con positions on the German energy transition, writes Klaus Stratmann in a book review in the Handelsblatt. While Unnerstall says many companies have not been decisive enough in pursuing climate-friendly energy strategies in his book, “Factcheck Energiewende”, he also claims that many costs could have been avoided. Above all, Stratmann says, Unnerstall’s assessments are based on a plethora of facts, which - although this leads to long passages full of numbers - is enlightening for readers who are willing to invest the time.
