European Bodies Approve Resolution on European Energy Charter Agreement

In a recent event held in Korschenbroich, the Sonne-Wind-Wende cooperative saw a surge of support and interest from notable figures. The event, which featured a video message from Valerie Lange of the Citizen Energy Alliance, aimed to expand the cooperative's membership base and seek support at various levels.

Mayor Ursula Baum of an unspecified location offered to provide municipal roofs for the cooperative, demonstrating her commitment to the cause. In a significant move, Hans Christian Markert, the head of sustainability management at the Building and Property Management Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, submitted his membership application on the spot.

The cooperative, which focuses on community-led renewable energy projects, has experienced a high demand for shares, with over 350 applications received. Notable figures such as Ursula Baum and Hans Christian Markert are potential new members, joining a growing community dedicated to sustainable energy practices.

The event also saw presentations from Heinrich Hannen and Manfred Jung, who discussed the origins, current status, and future plans of the cooperative. Guest speaker Barbara Hohn, a natural scientist, highlighted the long "half-life" of CO2 and the urgent need to combat climate change across party lines and borders. She emphasized the role of Citizen Energy in correcting the damage caused by human activities and stressed the need for immediate action.

Market plans to support the cooperative at the district level, further bolstering its efforts to promote renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. The first two concrete projects for which preliminary contracts have been signed will be realized without external capital, reflecting the cooperative's commitment to community-driven initiatives.

As the Sonne-Wind-Wende cooperative continues to grow and gain support, it remains a beacon of hope for those committed to a sustainable future.
