Bridge technology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bridge technology is a metaphor that describes certain technologies that are only to be used for a transitional period as a bridge between the previous technology and the technology hoped for or expected in the future.

Atomic energy example

A well-known example is the description of atomic energy as a bridging technology. With this conceptual model, the Union parties in particular have been describing atomic energy since 1986 as an indispensable “transition” and “bridging technology”. According to this view, nuclear power plants must run until renewable energies are introduced comprehensively and across the board. In 2010, this led to the lifetime of German nuclear power plants being extended - while the Green Party in particular is calling for a faster phase-out in order to force the development of renewable energies through the pressure to adapt when the nuclear power plants are discontinued.

In the social sphere: “The minimum wage is a bridging technology. A basic income without conditions is needed for everyone to participate in society . "
