"So called "renewable energy" is a grotesque failure. It has not worked; it is not working; it will not work, if the goal is to address climate change rather than to post "feel good" stuff on the internet"
So, Germany should just STOP trying? When the authors make assertions like the one above, I have to question the remainder of the article also. Maybe I'm missing something. I certainly don't have a PHD.
"Germany raised the proportion of its power produced by renewable energy to 35 percent in the first half of 2017 from 33 percent the previous year, according to the BEE renewable energy association.
Germany is aiming to phase out its nuclear power plants by 2022. Its renewable energy has been rising steadily over the last two decades thanks in part to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) which was reformed this year to cut renewable energy costs for consumers.
Germany has been getting up to 85 percent of its electricity from renewable sources on certain sunny, windy days this year."
