>By revising its Renewable Energy Act (EEG), Germany plans to massively boost the expansion of onshore wind energy as part of the Easter Package. According to today’s announcement, Germany aims to install as much as 10 GW of new onshore wind per year between now and the end of the 2020s. To put this in perspective – Europe as a whole installed as much as 11.8 GW of onshore wind in 2020.
I wish Habeck all the best. His plans are a bit crazy ambitious, but I guess that’s how you have to approach this issue.
Thats the way, the only.
Finally! Took us long enough to elect a government that takes the energy issues seriously 🙄
This is the way.
So they are massively expanding intermittent renewable sources of electricity. Are there concrete plans to handle this intermittency, as well as (seasonal) storage, besides vague plans that amount to ‘something, something hydrogen’?

I’m pleasantly surprised. The last guy, Peter Altmaier, was a complete fossil fuel powered asshole
Not a bad idea, but wind power fluctuates heavily in yield. Unless you pair it with serious energy storage (converting wind power to chemical potential energy when production exceeds demand might allow for long term storage) you’ll have problems when winds are low in northwest Europe.
Germany announced massive gas power expansion. It is one of the worst country in Europe in terms of CO2/kWh
Green Energy
hear me out
you could built 2-3 more nuclear plants with x10 less impact on the land
