In Germany the switch to renewables is decided. The objective of German energy policy is thus clear; but the road to renewables is a long and bumpy one. In Hamburg eleven young journalists met people from all strands of society, who helped them to apprehend the multifaceted aspects of the switch to renewables. Their impressions are recorded in this magazine, which you can read, view, and listen to on www.plan-e-magazin.de/en. Plan E is the result of a ten-day interdisciplinary educational project run by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation’s academy for young journalists, JONA.
