Wolf of Fabeck (* 9. May 1935 ) is a German solar - activist and Honorary Chairman of Solar Promotion Germany eV

Life and work

After graduating from high school, Wolf von Fabeck went to the Bundeswehr (1956) and studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt . He was a lecturer at the former Army 1 University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt (for technical mechanics and gyro technology ). He became dean and head of the mathematics, natural sciences and data processing department. In 1980 he published the textbook gyroscopic devices. The different types of devices and their technical applications. Principle-related errors and technical solutions. Physical basics .

In 1986 he resigned from the Bundeswehr at his own request because he wanted to get involved in environmental protection . In December 1986 he co-founded the Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland eV (SFV) based in Aachen, which originally acted as a representative of the interests of private solar power producers. After a change of statute and name to "Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland eV" (SFV) - originally "Solarenergie-Förderverein eV" (SFV) - in 2003 and another change in the statutes in 2019, the fight against climate change is at the fore of the association's work . From the foundation of the association until November 9, 2019, he was its honorary managing director. The general meeting elected him honorary chairman on the same day.

Wolf von Fabeck lives in Magdeburg .

Positions

Wolf von Fabeck considers the complete replacement of coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear energy with renewable energies to be one of the greatest global tasks of our time.

Renewable energies and their storage

Since 1989 he has campaigned for cost-covering remuneration for solar power. This made him - together with Hans-Josef Fell , Hermann Scheer and others - one of the pioneers and pioneers of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) of 2000. He campaigns for a rapid conversion of the energy supply to 100% renewable energies .

In order to counter the climate change, which is endangering life on earth, Wolf von Fabeck advocates the fastest possible conversion of our energy system to a one hundred percent supply of renewable energies. The most important pillars for him are wind energy and solar energy . He assesses the use of bioenergy as very critical.

Instead of the further expansion of high-voltage lines , Wolf von Fabeck calls for the expansion of electricity storage facilities and local lines.

“But we mustn't let ourselves be dissuaded from introducing a technology as quickly as possible that we ultimately consider necessary. Every day that we don't advance renewable energies and storage, climate change continues. This not only causes costs, but also human misfortune, climate refugees. Given this, concerns about the cost of storage are disproportionate. In addition: When we started with photovoltaics in 1986, the electricity from them was so expensive that what you now say about storage systems would also have applied to solar cells. Today they only cost a fraction - because of the mass production. "

- Wolf von Fabeck in an interview with Malte Kreutzfeldt ( taz )

Taxes

Ecological tax reform

Together with Jürgen Grahl, Wolf von Fabeck advocates a drastic, revenue-neutral shift in the tax burden from work to energy. The aim is to tax energy, the most efficient production factor, and to relieve the less efficient production factor of labor. This shift is intended to result in less energy being wasted. Investors would invest more than before in labor-intensive companies, e.g. B. in education, social welfare, emergency services, police, craft, art, research. This would create new jobs. At the same time, energy-intensive companies would be burdened, in particular the basic industry, which is exploiting natural resources at an ever faster pace. Traffic would also decline if energy prices rose drastically. In order to compensate for the personal additional burden of the residents affected by an energy tax increase and to achieve acceptance, Fabeck demands the payment of an equal monthly energy allowance for each resident, regardless of income and age . Those who use less energy than the average have an advantage. Overall, this taxation of energy should be strictly income-neutral. In contrast to Grahl, who calls for an increase " gradually in small steps ", Fabeck calls for a " rapid increase in energy taxes ".

Internalize external costs of nuclear-fossil energies through a tax

Wolf von Fabeck sees the energy transition in 2016 as a dead end and therefore called for the external costs of fossil and atomic energy to be internalized through a CO2 tax and an increased fuel tax . Currently (2019) von Fabeck expresses doubts about the effectiveness of a CO 2 tax, as this could develop into a "Trojan horse of the fossil energy industry".


"The" free market "is blind to the future!

The free market is unresponsive to future dangers and the concept of community provision is alien to it.

. . .

And the laws of nature know no morality and also no mercy; they drag everyone - whether guilty or innocent - into the vortex of the climate catastrophe. "

- Wolf von Fabeck : Solarbrief 3/2018, official organ of the Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland eV (SFV)

Recovery of the greenhouse gases by technical means

Wolf von Fabeck sees the urgent need to retrieve the greenhouse gases by technical means in order to get the industrial waste that mankind has deposited in the atmosphere back out and thus bring the greenhouse gas concentrations back to pre-industrial levels.

“No complaining helps! Humanity now has to take out the industrial waste that it has deposited in the atmosphere!

. . .

A successful retrieval consists of three steps.

1. Retrieval from the atmosphere

2. Chemical conversion of the recovered greenhouse gases into climate-harmless carbon compounds of higher energy density

3. Safe storage or economical use of carbon compounds that have been rendered harmless to the climate. "
