** 2024 November 12, Uredništvo, Ali obstaja možnost stoodstotne preskrbe Slovenije z obnovljivimi viri energije?‎:"Načrti obstajajo, cilji so zastavlje ni, določe ni so ukrepi, s katerimi bi lahko prišli do zastavljenih ciljev, težave pa so pri izvajanju zavez. Pri vprašanju, kako nagovoriti, angažirati ljudi. Kako nas torej najprej prepričati, da so spremembe v načinu življenja nujno potrebne, da je druga možnost podnebna katastrofa, in kako nam potem predočiti, da moramo nekaj narediti sami. In da hkrati zaupamo, da delamo prav," je dejal Andrej Gubina."The plans are there, the targets are there, the actions to get there are there, but the problems are in implementing the commitments. It is a question of how to reach out, how to engage people. So how do we first convince people that lifestyle changes are urgently needed, that the alternative is climate catastrophe, and then how do we convince them that we have to do something ourselves. And at the same time to trust that we are doing the right thing," said Andrej Gubina.
