Today, our topic is a specific business form: cooperatives. Community renewable groups do not have to be coops -- but coops are great for community projects.We speak with Dirk Vansintjaan, cofounder of Ecopower, a coop that is also the largest green power provider in Flanders. He also helped found REScoop, the EU-wide umbrella organization for rene…

Today, we talk with Prof. Maarten Wolsink, who has studied acceptance issues in infrastructure projects, especially renewable energy, for decades. He tells us what's wrong with calling people NIMBY. We briefly return to Rhein-Hunrück to speak with Frank-Michael Uhle about why acceptance was so high there before turning to Marie Leer Jorgensen, who …

Is Germany's energy transition, with all of its community renewables, too expensive? Today, we talk with Prof. Justus Haucap, a critic of the price tag as the former chair of Germany's Monopoly Commision. Shuwei Zhang of the Draworld Center explains what policies China has used. Prof. Lorenz Jarass (yes, the one with the jokes!) explains how the Ge…

German community energy projects are not just fairy tales. Today, we speak with three German community renewables projects. Frank-Michael Uhle; he’s the climate action official in the county of Rhein-Hunsrück, where Europe's largest suspended footbridge, the Geierlay Bridge, was built with revenue from local wind farms. Stefan Bayerlein operates a …

How did Germany's Feed-in Act of 1991 help wind power get going, and why only wind power? And what specifically about the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) of 2000 was better than the 1991 law? Today, we speak with community energy Dieter Mensen, policy experts Toby Couture and David Jacobs, and one of the two fathers of the EEG, Hans-Josef Fell, a…

Germany is known for its Renewable Energy Act (EEG) of 2000, which facilitated community renewable projects. But the EEG didn't bring about the grassroots movement; the movement brought about the Act. Today, we hear some of the voices of pioneers who got started before there was a business model. And you might be surprised how big a role the Protes…

In this episode, we talk about the shift taking place, thanks party to Fridays for Future, from finding the right price for climate action to an ethical argument. Community renewables can benefit from this shift because community energy might not always be the cheapest -- but we don't have to do what's cheapest. And without community renewables, cl…
