In an interview on krone.tv with Gerhard Koller, ex-minister Rudi Anschober called for massive measures for the energy transition and climate protection with his environmental initiative “Neustart Österreich”: “We must finally move away from party conflicts for the energy transition. The aim is to to produce much more sustainable energy.”
Hydropower is already well developed in Austria, but older hydropower plants, something on the Danube, had to be modernized, expanded and brought to the latest state of the art.
A lot is also conceivable with wind turbines: “In densely built-up Vienna, this is hardly possible, but in Burgenland, for example, you see how large wind energy can be used and how wind energy can be implemented”. Anschober can also imagine that in the future there will be obligations for the federal states to install wind turbines: “Even in Tyrol, the wind blows and the sun shines.” Anschobers allusion to the fact that there are still hardly any wind turbines or solar power generation in western Austria.
For him, Leonore Gewessler is “the ideal person for the Ministry of Climate Protection”, but the ÖVP still has to “move” when it comes to the energy transition. From Anschober’s point of view, Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s car summit was not a good idea, but an environmental summit should be organised.
In the video above you can see many other clear statements by Anschober – for example why only Eastern Austrian provincial governors, but not those from the West, are behind the “New Start Austria Initiative”.
