First England, now France: Is left-wing economic policy coming back?
There were two left-wing drumbeats that could be heard in England and France in the last few days. The British Labor Party celebrated an overwhelming election victory and secured an absolute majority in Parliament. Also surprisingly, the left-wing camp in France won with a clear agenda for left-wing economic policy. Is this a trend emerging for all of Europe? And if so, what does left-wing economic policy even mean today? What are the advantages and disadvantages associated with this? Report: Hans Hrabal, Michael Mayrhofer
Electricity from the balcony: Are balcony power plants worth it?
Today, you don’t even need a roof to generate electricity from the sun: balcony power plants can now be bought in any hardware store and sometimes even in the supermarket. Electricity prices have fallen significantly again, but at the same time the prices for panels are cheaper than ever. And that’s why such a mini PV system almost always pays off. How does a solar power plant for your home work and when does it become worthwhile? Report: Martin Steiner
Industrial ruins instead of green meadows: How old commercial areas can be reused
Around 16 football pitches are being converted into green meadows every day in Austria – far too many, experts have agreed for years. However, it is not possible to reduce land consumption in this country. Industrial, warehouse and commercial areas in particular need a lot of space. There are many former operating areas that have already been concreted over and are empty. Reusing such fallow land could help protect the soil. But does that work? What are the problems and where is it already working? Report: Bettina Fink, Markus Preslmayr
