FRANKFURT (Oder), Germany, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Just a small step for the copper tape, but a giant leap ahead for the region's solar energy industry.
Today, Wolfgang Tiefensee, Germany'sTransportMinister and Commissioner for the New Federal States, together with Brandenburg's Minister President Matthias Platzeck and Managing Directors Ramin Lavae Mokhtari and Olaf Tober of Odersun AG, cut through a copper tape symbolizing the main production component at Odersun's first commercial solar factory, "Sun One".
He continued that East Germany, with almost 30 companies, has become a leading location for this sector and that a highly-modern industrial network is establishing itself in the Frankfurt region.
In 1985, he became Minister for the Environment in the German province of Hessen in the first provincial Red/Green coalition in Germany ever (1985-1987).
He returned as Minister for the Environment of Hessen province again from 1991 to 1994, and, later on, became co-chairman of the Greens parliamentary party in the Bundestag, the lower house of Germany's federal parliament.
Although the first common foreign minister of the EU has yet to be elected, Fischer is considered a strong candidate for this post.
