The USA, Japan and other countries but not the Arab world are to be blamed for the failure of the Climate Conference in Doha on November 2012
The news from Qatar are as expected. No decision are made and Climate depletion will go on. All delegates, however, are contented because their job will continue as usual. Not the Arab world is to be blamed for the fail of the Conference, still less Saudi Arabia. The delegates and the politicians at home are those who must be ashamed.

Blue Energy, controlled by Investmentfonds Stadium Group, says it will build a $400m 155MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant. It will be fully operational by October 2015. The Nzema near the village of Aiwiaso in western Ghana will install 630,000 PV modules increasing the country's electricity capacity by 6%. [1]

After the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima, Japan, in March 2011, the German government ordered 8 nuclear power plants to shut down. The remaining 9 plants will closed by 2022, or earlier. Operational safety and  the absence of safe repositories for nuclear waste cleared the way to the nuclear phase-out.
Fears that  Germany might become a net importer of electricity proofed to be unfounded. [1]

The whole scientific society is concerned about the future of humanity. Desertification goes on in Africa. Storms and floods devastate other regions. Hunger and distress destroy any hope of a normal life in other parts.

In the meantime the USA, the most powerful military nation, is backing Elon Musk as a symbol figure of the megalomania of a nation living at the expenses of humanity.

The Nationaal reports that two power plants in South Korea were close and three others are under investigation regarding safety concerns. Eight companies supplying parts to Kepco had forged 60 certificates to cover 7,682 substandard reactor components since 2003. [1]

Kepco, the Korea Electric Power Corporation is the main contractor for four reactors at the UAE's Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, which is expected to be completed by 2017.

The nuclear power plant in Brunsbüttel, Germany, will be demolished. Its owner, the energy giant Vattenfall requested the permission at the ministry of energy  in Kiel. Vattenfall expects that the permission will take four years to be granted. The demolition will take another 10 to 15 years. The complete shut down will cost between 500 million to 1 billion Euro.

Conventional power plants grind coal into dust, which is then blown into a boiler. The German electricity company added a silo to the system and may now power down to 10 per cent of its maximum output and run on a low level, if necessary.  Without a silo conventional power plants can go no lower than 35 percent of maximum output.

Germany was the first to shut down nuclear power plants and change to renewable alternatives to fossil. The German Chancelor Mrs Merkel decided Germany to quit nuclear energy as a reaction to the disaster of Fukushima. Meanwhile wind energy and photovoltaic are supplying the majority of the electricity needed.

The infrastructure and the technology of transferring the electricity to where it is  needed is now being developed. Hydrogen technology, as a mean to store energy is already being used.
