Today in Rhein-Main: More electricity from wind and sun

Good evening,

On Thursday, his defense attorney spent several hours reciting statements by the accused, who emphasized that he had never abused his office, but always understood himself as a "class representative", as he put it, of the citizens.

He did not use the office to treat workers' welfare favorably, but rather to make the lives of citizens a little bit better every day.

Feldmann again rejected the fact that he knew what his wife at the time earned as a daycare manager – he was “prohibited” from interfering in their relationships, otherwise there were “aggressive outbursts of anger”, he reported from everyday life in his marriage .

The trial will continue on Monday.

The number of wind turbines in Hesse increased by 45 from January to September.

The fact that it is three times more than in 2020, when things went very badly for Hesse, is one thing.

On the other hand, the fact that there were as many as in 2021 shows that there can obviously be no talk of an acceleration in expansion since the new gas and electricity crisis.

After all: It is being started in the right places to accelerate the expansion, in that the approval and nature conservation authorities in the regional councils have been assigned ten new positions this year and new positions are also planned at the Hessian Administrative Court, because the majority of the projects will be opposed sued.

In his commentary, Ewald Hetrodt nonetheless points out that the Greens' energy policy does not per se help the climate if this party insists on shutting down nuclear power plants – at the price that coal-fired power plants run longer.

In addition to wind, the sun can also contribute to the generation of electricity.

Our correspondent Oliver Bock reports on three projects in the Rheingau-Taunus district and, for his part, states in a commentary that although the area required is greater than when setting up a wind rotor, such areas can now be used twice, so to speak, by including one agricultural use remains possible.

Ingenuity is in demand these days.

And in addition

, from November 2nd, love films selected by the filmmaker Christian Petzold will be shown in the Frankfurt Film Museum +++ according to a new study, the salaries of IT specialists and in finance and accounting will rise sharply +++ does Hanau want to reduce the energy consumption of Christmas lights and the Christmas market are reduced without reducing the shine.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend

Unfortunately, there are far too few restaurants like "Geberts Weinstuben" in Mainz: family-run for generations, with aspirations but not at the level of fine dining, an uncomplicated meeting place in the neighborhood with fair prices, a guest house in the best sense of the word.

The food there is home-style, if you want to call it that.

The entire culinary program of the house is permeated by that pleasantly self-confident straightforwardness that arises from product understanding and perfect craftsmanship.

This is how tradition is really fun.
