world democracy by Kai Neumann

Whether it is FIFA or the UN or just the USA: the challenge is to get the voting for wise decisions Originally I thought it would be the same model for all three cases, but now I think  - FIFA sustains its system of corruption as those who profit from it directly vote for it (not the nations or organizations but its representatives) - the current UN or world security council suffers from the blockades mainly from China and Russia who do not want the UN to interfere in other countries. A World Council tha...

I am taking part in the interesting online course: https://app.novoed.com/systems-practice-2017-1  This is our team's model (work in progress). Feel free to join the team.

Last generation protests by Kai Neumann

I have considered the "Letzte Generation" protests to be too harsh thinking that people as a reaction wouldn't sympathize with protesters and their cause anymore. But realizing how people react with hate just to stay in their comfort zone (and because of the fear of change) now shows me that like in the early days of F4F it takes the fact viral that we need drastic change and unmasks those who still don't get it. We need to change from 9 - 11 tons of CO2 eq per person per year to around 1 - 2 tons - no m...

Finanzierung von Netzen, Speichern und Backup-Kraftwerken by Kai Neumann

Deutschland und die EU diskutieren gerade, wie die Netzkosten und Reservekapazitäten gerecht finanziert werden können, um am Ende Industrie und ggf. auch die Haushalte zu entlasten. Interessante Frage natürlich, ob es überhaupt über alle hinweg eine Entlastung geben kann, anders, als die Vermeidung von abgeschalteten Stromerzeugern bei Überangebot.  Nun denn, ich habe das Modell angefangen, um mir selbst klarer zu werden. Batterien und Laststeuerung dürfte der Markt regeln. Was imho übrig bleibt ist die ...

EU Regulations - 13 factors to show their benefits by Kai Neumann

Just a small model to explore the current discussion on the Omnibus procedure in the EU, the idea to have less regulation and fewer restrictions to produce as cheap as possible. I have modeled more details in other models but this one here shows the fact that a lot what we consider being costs are actually investments with an increased domestic value creation - though even catastrophes add to the BIP unless you count the decrease in productivity (...).
