German Nuclear Plants: Plans by the German government have been enacted to expand nuclear power within the country. With fossil fuels become increasingly expensive and prices going up, nuclear's clean, reliable, and quantity of electrical output has become ever more attractive. E.ON will be the main energy force behind this program and will be the corporation to reopen and operate the plants. With extensive interests in nuclear power already, the company is attempting to avoid the taxes imposed by the German Renewal Plan on fossil fuel power generation. The company has drawn up plans to invest $10 Billion into reopening its former plants and other facilities across Germany. Greifswald Nuclear Power Plant - 6 Reactors - 2,640 MW Mülheim-Kärlich Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 1,302 MW Obrigheim Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 357 MW Rheinsberg Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 70 MW Stade Nuclear Power Station - 1 Reactor - 672 MW THTR-300 Westphalia Station - 1 Reactor - 300 MW Leopoldshafen & Juliche Station - 2 Reactors - 40 MW Würgassen Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 640 MW Niederaichbach Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 100 MW Gundremmingen Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 250 MW Dodewaard Nuclear Power Plant - 1 Reactor - 60 MW Edited by Kaiser Julius II, Nov 3 2011, 07:11 PM.

German Sustainable Development Company: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (Germany's government owned development entity) has announced some of its new projects for the upcoming years. First on its list is the construction of the Stadtschloss in Berlin. The vacant lot upon which the old Stadtschloss used to sit, and then the Palast Der Republik, has surveying crews once more upon it prepared to build a prominent structure. A Baroque reconstruction of the old Stadtschloss has been proposed for years and finally it is being brought to a reality. While the $740 million is coming entirely from private investment and a smaller portion from the city of Berlin, the Chancellor and Bundestag openly support to project as it will employ a large number of German workers and stimulate the local economy while restoring an iconic structure of German history. The structure will house German artwork, a convention center, and a variety of other commerical venues. The second announced project was the restoration and completion of tourist ventures in Prora, Rugen. Hitler had begun the construction of what he envisioned as the largest seaside resort in the world. Nine blocks were built on the Baltic Sea on beaches that rivaled the Caribbean, however with the onset of the war, the workers were transferred to missile factories. Plans began back in 2008 to begin the remodeling process and GTZ has won the contract. Plans are to refurbish the buildings that were planned to house 20,000 and create a modernized hotel to house 3,000. |

German Oil Drilling Expands: Berlin has opened additional blocks in Greenland's offshore oil reserves to be sold to German oil companies. With current production nearing 2.5 million barrels per day, it is expected to reach 5 million barrels per day by the end of the new expansion. North Sea reserves are beginning to dry up and increased hostility in Europe further creates the need for new and secure fuel sources domestically. Despite its only recent tapping, the pipelines and refineries will also be further expanded to handle new flows. Subsidies to native Greenlanders will also be granted as per their agreement with Berlin. |

German DLR: The German 'Deutsches Zentrum fur die Luft und Raumfahrt,' also known as the German Aerospace Center, has been ordered by the Kaiser to become a private organization. Through a hybrid of federal, state, and corporate funding, the new entity would operate own its own accord and withdraw from the European Space Administration. This controversial proposition has led to an uproar of those believing it will harm relations with the rest of Europe as well as be a waste of German money. Proponents state it will allow Germany to follow its own agenda regarding space operations without outside interference, it will bring prestige as well as opportunity to German companies and workers, and it could eventually begin weening off of public funds and save Germany money in the long run. Some companies showed interest in funding portions of the company as this would allow them access to operations undertaken by the organization and the current proposals involve large amounts of commericalizing space activities and advertising. The first few years would be slower as the company constructs launch facilities, support facilities, and acquires designs to spacecraft while conducting necessary research. While Munich is more southern, unlevel terrain makes it difficult. Sites in German Italien were also rejected for various reasons. Rugen Island, while hundreds of miles north, is nearly entirely flat, near industrial centers in Germany proper, and also by the Baltic Sea and has good access to water transport and recovery. The space center is expected to be built here within the next few years. A smaller operational launchpad is expected within one year on the same site for launching commercial and experimental satelites. Planned Funding: $1.8 Billion - German Federal Government $200 Million - Local State Government $100 Million - Deutsche Telekom $100 Million - BASF Chemicals $100 Million - Siemens AG $100 Million - German Television $50 Million - Deutsche Post $50 Million - PUMA AG $50 Million - BMW AG $25 Million - Diehl Stiftung GmbH $25 Million - SolarWorld AG $2.5 Billion - Operational Income Total Projected Annual Budget: $5.1 Billion |
