After the bulb: the 45km/h gasoline scooter

Energy saving lamps are several times more efficient than the bulb. The same applies in the 45km/h class for the energy efficiency of electric scooters against gasoline scooters.

The bulb was only inefficient and is forbidden by the EU. Much worse than the bulb is the 2 stroke gasoline scooter, because of his characteristics also called rattle stink scooter. The smell and noise is easy perceptible in 500m distance.

Squandering of a rare energy source

Take the oil prognosis of the IEA in the WEO 2008 serious. When You do not trust the IEA, founded by the OECD countries after the first oil crisis, whom else do You trust? Not the phantastic part with develop 6 times the production of Saudi Arabia new until 2030, but the real part with step declining production of existing oil fields.

My last test with the Solar Scooter Sport brought 4,22 kWh / 100km consumption. Theoretical, when electric power would be produced by gasoline in a CCPP, this would be 0,8 litre/100km (294 mpg). But the electric scooter runs with any electric power mix, saves even with electric power from lignite against the gasoline scooter.

Saving potential in the EU

Electric scooters can reach far higher numbers than the gasoline scooter. The electric scooter can surpass the bicyle, the 45km/h gasoline scooter has an extrem bad image "vehicle for puberties with the motto, who has the most noisy exhaust pipe can take the most stupid bride" and for luck no chance to surpass the bicycle. 50 million electric scooters in the EU with 2000 km a year can save drives with the electric scooter and mainly with the car for 5 billion litres fuel. A saving potential very similar to the forbiddance of the bulb.

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

In the change of time
	PEGE was founded 1991 for strategies against a climate disaster in some decades. Today, it's for handling the first fossil recession.

First fossil recession
	World economy is in the first fossil recession. Peak-oil raised the oil price and destabilised the economy. Recession, breakdown of oil demand and price.

Back stop for the price of oil products
	The oil exit is irritated by the breakdown of the oil price. Out of this reason, taxes on oil have to be risen. Other taxes can be lowered as counterbalance.

Change tax system
	The brakedown of the oil price gives a second chance. PEGE proposed 2005 a economic tax reform, to prepare economy for raising prices of fossil energy.

Infrastructure for electric mobility
	Electric outlets are everywhere, only not where to recharge an electric vehicle. Recharge at home, at the work place, in the shopping center enables electric mobility.

Solar duty as crude oil replacement
	Solar duty for new buildings. In 10 years should the solar electric power from the roof of new buildings deliver as much electric power as the changed to electricity street traffic needs.
