We mourn the loss of Dr. Herrmann Scheer Oct.15. 2010
Dr. Hermann Scheer, global fighter for renewable energy and for a more democratic and decentralised energy supply, is dead.
Yesterday morning, Dr. Hermann Scheer, Member of the German Parliament, President of Eurosolar and General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy, died unexpectedly in Berlin. One of his greatest achievements, next to many books and inspiring speeches, was to initiate the successful feed-in tariff legislation for renewable energy which is today used in 50 countries all over the world. Another tremendous success was the creation of the International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA in the year 2009 which has 148 member states to date. For his successful work for renewable energy Dr. Hermann Scheer received many awards, like the Alternative Nobel Prize and, in the year 2004, the World Wind Energy Award. http://bit.ly/cv4E4a

The 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference – a unique opportunity to advance a Nuclear Weapons Convention Apr.29. 2010
The 2010 NPT Review Conference will discuss implementation of the two key pillars of the treaty – nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament. These are two-sides of the same coin. As United Nations High Representative Sergio Duarte has said “One cannot worship at the altar of nuclear weapons and raise heresy charges against those who want to join the sect.” More importantly, - the legal, political and technical controls required to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons cannot succeed unless they prohibit nuclear weapons for everyone, secure all nuclear materials and eliminate all nuclear weapons. Otherwise, there will remain nuclear warheads to steal, fissile materials from which to make bombs, and rationales for nuclear-capable countries to acquire nuclear weapons to ‘defend’ themselves against the nuclear weapons of others.
