Hi again,

I'm asking wether it happens, if I annoy you all, with writing on the topic but better having tried than to do nothing at all.

I just got attention to a person living near my home town in Hammelburg/Germany: Hans-Josef Fell. Knowing him very long, he's a very radical politician of the german greens bringing his vision 100% renewable energies into the world. He said that he did not dream about that, he is doing it. For example in his private house. Fully autonomous/renewable in terms of energy. He had his electric "car" (a TWIKE back then, 1994?) before their producer officially sold it.

He was person bringing the Renewable Energy Sources Act into Reality, enabling profits with investments in renewable energies, which were massively boosted therefore. The act was taken down again by other political parties. But it's too late. The world saw what had happend. The act was copied by over 100 other countries, especially China!

In 2006 he founded the Energy Watch Group for looking at the fossil resources, the coming shortage and the possible massive change to renewables. He serves as the organizations president. It's network of politicians and scientists who want are willing to drive the change. Currently the organization publicated a detailed study for 100% renewable Energy in Europe. It's possible. It's a lot of work, but there's no magic needed at all. The tech is there. Will to do it is the only thing that's needed. We're over the peak of oil. In the next few years there's a rising gap in the supply of fuel, which is even admitted by those who fought viciously against a change away from oil.

Further I saw him in a trailer to Climate Warriors: YouTube (Cool: Terminator is Riding a Bike!) He's truly a climate warrior, I'm absolutely proud of!

He calls for all people to start to engage. Grassroots movement. Australias goverment is actively turning against climate protection. But the people are very different. Due to the activities and investments of the people Australia is making most progress in the world. The situation seems to be similar in the U. S.

Everybody's needed!

Regards,
stomp

Update

Fell mentioned that Warren Buffet, 3rd richest man abandoned investments of esso and another fossil fuel org and heads energy investments towards renewables. This is the beginning of the end of fossil energy generation.(the interview is from last year)

Nigeria is planning to build a one Gigawatts Solar Plant.

Fell is very excited what massive changes are going on in the renewable world. The only question for him is, if mankind is fast enough to stop the climate change bullet(my wording).

NAME
dtk_video_exec - Start/stop/pause a video texture SYNOPSIS
#include <dtk_video.h> int dtk_video_exec(dtk_htex vid, int command, const void* arg); DESCRIPTION
This function changes the state (or playing position) of a video texture referenced by vid according to the value of command: DTKV_CMD_PLAY: Set the video to play. arg is interpreted as a pointer to a variable of type int whose non zero value indicates that the state change is asynchronous and can be finished after the function returns. If arg is NULL, the change is performed synchronously. DTKV_CMD_PAUSE: Set the video to pause. arg is interpreted as a pointer to a variable of type int whose non zero value indicates that the state change is asynchronous and can be finished after the function returns. If arg is NULL, the change is performed synchronously. DTKV_CMD_SEEK: Seek the video to the position specified by arg which is then interpreted as a pointer to a variable of type long representing the position in milliseconds from the beginning of the video. arg is allowed to be NULL. In that case, the video will be positioned at its start. vid must be a dynamic texture created by one of the functions dtk_create_video_*(3). If the video was already in the requested state, the function will do nothing. If the video is created from the live source (webcam, network broadcast...), executing DTKV_CMD_SEEK will fail. RETURN VALUE
0 if the state has been changed or was already the one requested, -1 otherwise. SEE ALSO
