“Neutrinos are the energy source of the future,” explains Schubart, quoting the United States Department of Energy. “Today science is finally in a position to tap the unbelievable potential of these subatomic particles for the betterment of mankind.” In an interview aired on “TV Berlin” Schubart spoke of the almost limitless opportunities ahead, but he also spoke of the danger that Germany just might miss its chance to profit from this technological development. He fears that the onetime home to great engineers and scientists could once again lose out to foreign competition and sleep through the coming revolution, as it has done in the past. In the program “Standort” with Peter Brinkmann, Schubart relates how inquiries and offers are already starting to come in from Chinese companies eager to take advantage of neutrino technology.
