Selected Quotes: ""We need a massive expansion of renewable energies so that the electricity and heat supply tomorrow and the day after will be climate-friendly, secure in supply and affordable," says Dr. Andre Baumann, member of the state parliament for the Green Party."

"The Green Party's energy expert is also clearly in favor of using geothermal energy in the Upper Rhine Graben: "We are in the fortunate situation that we can extract hot water from not too great a depth in the earth and use the energy it contains without risk.""

"Baumann criticizes the citizens' initiatives, which also recently tried to create a diffuse mood against the use of geothermal energy with horror pictures and fudged facts."

"The Green Party member of parliament relies on facts and arguments. Last year, he therefore invited citizens from the vicinity of Hockenheim and Schwetzingen to a bus excursion to the geothermal plant of EnBW and the municipal utility in Bruchsal."

"It was good that critical citizens were also present, who asked questions and were convinced by answers and the model project."

"Geothermal opponents, on the other hand, had rejected Baumann's invitation and the on-site exchange because they were against the use of geothermal energy anyway."
