What are the key technological and economic factors that currently limit widespread adoption of river heat pumps in Germany?

Several German cities utilize river water for heating, including Mannheim (3,500 households, 3-5% of city's heating needs) and planned projects in Cologne (up to 50,000 households) and Jena (half the city's heating needs). High initial costs and the need for subsidies currently limit widespread adoption. The technology's feasibility varies with river size and water temperature.

What specific arguments were made by the dissenting justices regarding the court's limitation on the EPA's authority in setting water quality standards?

The court's conservative majority argued that the EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Water Act by including 'end-result' provisions in permits. Justice Alito stated the EPA can set specific discharge limits but cannot hold permittees responsible for overall water quality. This decision aligns with a pattern of conservative justices curbing pollution control efforts.

What immediate financial impact will the economic slowdown have on Thuringia's budget, and what measures are being proposed to address it?

Thuringia's Finance Minister Katja Wolf (BSW) stated the need for increased investments in the face of economic challenges, but without suspending the debt brake. The 2024 budget, though balanced only by using the state's reserve, resulted in an additional €420 million for the reserve, thanks to increased federal funding due to census results and leftover Covid-19 funds. This leaves approximately €500 million in the reserve.

The move follows a year of record-breaking temperatures and numerous climate-related disasters costing over a billion euros in damages, contradicting the administration's actions. This action aligns with the Republican party's stance, influenced by fossil fuel lobbyists.
