Ökonomie statt Ideologie! | thermondo Talk mit Dr. Tim Meyer

What does Dr. Tim Meyer, renowned energy expert and author of the book "Strom" (Electricity), think of the plans of our Minister of Energy and Economic Affairs, Reiche, and the statements of Ulf Poschardt – publisher of Welt, Politico, and Business Insider? We'll discuss this in this thermondo talk. Tim Meyer has more than 25 years of experience in the energy sector and is a true expert when it comes to the electricity market. After studying electrical engineering and earning his doctorate at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), he worked for the solar company Conergy and as a board member of Naturstrom AG, among other positions. Today, he advises energy companies with 3EPunkt and analyzes global energy trends. Last year, Tim published his book "STROM" (Electricity). In it, he describes the global energy transition as an industrial revolution. Just as the automobile once replaced the horse-drawn carriage, renewables, storage, and electric vehicles are now turning markets worldwide upside down. Tim Meyer has more than 25 years of experience in the energy industry and is a true expert when it comes to the electricity market.

That's why at Thermondo, we're committed to heating with renewable energy and making it easy to switch to heat pumps 🌡️🍃. With the expertise of over 1,000 'thermondinos', our extensive experience from over 50,000 installations, and our innovative software, we are gradually bringing climate-neutral living to Germany. House by house, a total of 16 million times in Germany alone. For a sustainable future for us all. 🌳🌞 No two houses are alike, but for each of us, it's home. It represents what makes us who we are, what's important to us. It's where we've always wanted to feel safe, secure, and undisturbed. But we believe that in the future, homeownership will be about more – namely, about the generations that come after us. We believe our homes can do more! They can be electrified, smart, efficient, independent, and climate-neutral. We believe climate-neutral living should be accessible, affordable, and easy for everyone. And with every heat pump installed in front of our houses, every photovoltaic system on our roofs, and every wallbox in our garages, we're contributing to climate-neutral living. We don't just believe in climate-neutral living – we make it possible. For millions of homes. Together. Every day. Home by home.
