SUGGESTION TO THE GERMANY FEDERAL ENVIRONMENT MINISTER

To: The Right Honorable Federal Environment Minister Dr. Norbert Röttgen

From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE: Germany Energy Policy

Suggestions:

Good Morning Minister. German government decided to shut all the country’s nuclear power station by 2022. In my opinion nuclear gab should not be filled by new gas fired power plants because the total capacity of planned gas power plants in Germany adds up to about 8GW – this compares to about 20GW of nuclear power to be replaced. And in fact those 8GW overstate the part they will play in the actually generation of electricity. Gas power stations can be quickly started and shutdown. This means that a lot of them will be held in reserve to start up when wind power generation or solar power fall (increased cloud cover or sun set) or demand increases quickly for some reason. The first is in-line to be shut down during the mid-day peak of solar power or when wind power generations pick up. So it should not be surprising that the mainstay of new energy generation will be coal fired power plants, as they are the only other technology capable of replacing nuclear power plants. The expansion of renewable energy fell far short the requirements to replace nuclear power despite huge expenditure on energy generation. That was very clear from the beginning. The intermittent nature of wind and solar power makes them unsuitable for any role other than complementing other forms of energy generation such as gas – unless you have truly gigantic storage capacities. It also demands a tight integrated net to transmit power in order to get energy to where it is needed from where it is generated.

Minister, I believe that Germany’s integrated climate and energy policy will remain a key contributor to making the energy sector competitive.

Thank you very much for your kind attention to this issue.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To: The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE: BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019

To: The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE: HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

AN AMBITIOUS SUMMIT TOWARDS WORLD’S LARGEST FREE-TRADE DEAL WITH EU

Hon. American President Mr. Barack Obama, Mr. President, it is a great pleasure writing to you again on transatlantic relationship for European Union and the United States of America. America is Europe’s closest partner in Transatlantic Trade and Investment. It would be the most significant bilateral FTA. It does matter because it’s covering approximately 50 percent of global output, 30 percent of world merchandise trade and 20 percent of global FDI. Thus, both US and EU gains for fiscal consolidation and high employment as no additional spending or borrowing will be needed to achieve fiscal consolidation and high employment of the US and the EU. Indeed, cost reductions will benefit businesses and generate growth and employment in the US and the EU but reducing barriers to business would accord greatest economic benefits than tariffs as tariffs between the EU and US are already low. I hope that this press conference to commit to remove all duties on transatlantic trade and e
