Looking forward to working with @HSGStGallen #MBA students tomorrow. High time to connecting the dots in the current #energy and #climate crisis.

61.2% of voters in 🇨🇭 canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden approve progressive #energy law, including 40% #renewables target by 2035. While the law was supported by a broad majority in parliament, an oil firm from outside the canton had launched a referendum. srf.ch/news/abstimmung-kanto…

"While #V2G is not a magic bullet, electric cars can play a role in storing electricity close to where it is needed." My take on @Mobility_Suisse's vehicle-to-grid pilot project in today's #Tagesschau @srfnews. #EV #powerbank #climatesolutions mobility.ch/en/v2x

"It is not sustainable to be heavily dependent on a foreign supplier of fossil energy – neither environmentally, nor financially, nor in terms of security." Reflections on war in 🇺🇦 and energy policy in 🇨🇭. Will we address the root cause of the problem?unisg.ch/en/wissen/newsroom/…

"The Platform on Sustainable Finance [brings] together the best expertise on sustainability from the corporate and public sector, from industry as well as academia, civil society and the financial industry" - will @EU_Commission listen to its own experts? ec.europa.eu/info/business-e…

Which of the following three countries has the highest installed capacity of #windpower per capita?

Solar #PV is poised for dynamic growth in Switzerland, in fact it is THE infrastructure investment opportunity of the 21st century. Why there is still a case for diversification: My interview with #srf #10vor10. srf.ch/news/wirtschaft/energ… via @srfnews

Why are people living up to 460 km away from a planned #windpower project in 🇨🇭 concerned about noise? A puzzle Nathalie Dällenbach and I are trying to solve in our latest paper on #SocialAcceptance, out now in Energy Research and Social Science #ERSS. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Call for Papers on "Dynamics of Social Acceptance" of #RenewableEnergy. 14 years after a highly cited #EnergyPolicy special issue, time to explore the research frontier of how & why #SocialAcceptance changes over time. Best papers will be considered for conference in 🇨🇭.

Full house at Prof. Tanja Schneider‘s inaugural lecture @HSGStGallen tonight about „Reconfiguring agency in the digital age“. An inspiring exploration of the „Neuro-turn“ in the social sciences. #STS #DataScience #NeuroMarketing #Kontextstudium #Interdisciplinarity @taschn
