Description

Careful conservation of resources in the enlarged context of the rational utilization of energy, the environment and capital will determine future power plant technology. The mainstays will be the further development of power plant concepts based on fossil (predominantly coal) and nuclear fuels; world-wide, also regenerative and CO2-free hydro-electric power will play a role. Rapid conversion of the available potential requires clear, long-term stable and reliable political framework conditions for the release of the necessary entrepreneurial forces. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Ressourcenschonung im erweiterten Sinne des rationellen Einsatzes von Energie, Umwelt und Kapital bestimmt die kuenftige Kraftwerkstechnik. Weiterentwickelte Kraftwerkskonzepte auf der Basis fossiler (vorwiegend Kohle) und nuklearer Brennstoffe sind die Hauptstuetzen; weltweit wird auch die regenerative und CO2-freie Wasserkraft eine Rolle spielen. Die zuegige Umsetzung des vorhandenen Potentials verlangt klare, langfristig stabile und verlaessliche politische Rahmenbedingungen zur Freisetzung der notwendigen unternehmerischen Kraefte. (orig.)
