The world is driven by fossil fuels like oil and gas. This has some negative repercussions: Rising energy prices due to decreasing deposits, dependence on unstable oil and gas producing regimes and global warming. It becomes clear, that a revolution in the way how we produce and use energy is necessary.

The clip is part of the WissensWerte Project of the german non-profit organization /e-politik.de/ e.V.
