I am on sabbatical in Germany right now and meeting so, so many green energy scientists and economics who have been invited across, or had their PhDs fully funded by the Government, that it's clear Germany is going to eventually lead the way here.
The permitting reforms are primarily focused on wind power (and we see an increase in permits) But we built less new wind power in 2023 than in 2002 The Bloomberg graph is mostly a result of cheap Chinese PV, imo
You can clearly see the so called Altmaier-Knick in 2012 and the Gabriel-Knick in 2017. We could have been so much further ahead because we already had all the options in our hands at that time.
Nice! I feel like there's a lot of focus on the moronic German anti-nuclear policy, nice to see that they are at least being successful at promoting renewables
"And then there is a renewable BOOM in Germany." Thank you, Robert Habeck.
Yes, Ampel! @bmwk.de@spdfraktion.de@gruene-bundestag.de
Green party in Ampel achieves a resounding success and puts Germany in No. 1 position for, at least, something. Wish the other parties would take note!
Is there a way to disaggregate this for wind and solar? Perhaps by 'expected TWh' or something like that, to control for solar's significantly lower capacity factor compared to wind?
