“Coalition takes foot off the gas pedal”

SWR

The Paris Climate Agreement clearly implies speeding up the Energiewende, but the Renewable Energy Act reform will have the opposite effect, writes Werner Eckert in a commentary for public broadcaster SWR. Instead of trying to solve the problems associated with the Energiewende, the reform is used as a pretext to paralyse the energy transition and climate protection, according to Eckert. “This law has a fundamental flaw, and all the hard-fought little compromises don’t help at all. There simply isn’t enough determination to finish off the old energies.”
