Energy Policy – Is the Energy Transition Heading in a Specific Direction?

Panel Discussion as Part of the 10th-Grade Energy Project

At this year’s Energy Forum, students in the introductory phase explored the currently controversial topic of energy policy.

The energy project concluded on July 18, 2014, with a panel discussion titled “Energy Policy—Does the Energy Transition Have a Direction?”

To kick off the discussion with politicians, the students presented a skit that got right to the heart of the issue.

The following individuals accepted the invitation to participate in the panel discussion: Mr. Peter Stefan (CDU) from the Working Group on Environment and Climate Protection, Mr. Timon Gremmels (SPD) as the energy policy spokesperson for the SPD state parliamentary group, and Dr. Franz Kahle (The Greens), mayor of the city of Marburg.

Spurred by the students’ questions, a lively discussion developed on the panel, during which the parties’ proposed solutions became quite apparent.
