The new article (original in German) explains the energy transition from a simple but fundamental physical perspective. And something very basic sooner or later leads us to entropy. It helps us understand why electricity-based technologies are much more efficient than those that use combustion and heat as an intermediate step. And why the energy transition is therefore much more of a technical revolution, namely away from heat and towards electricity, with significantly higher efficiency.
