Altmaier delays energy transition, calls it “realism” – commentary
Tagesspiegel Background Energie
German economy minister Peter Altmaier pays lip service to the consequences of climate change for “our children and grandchildren,” but his words are not matched by actions, writes Tagesspiegel Background Energie in its daily newsletter. Altmaier wants to postpone the special renewables auctions, and says he will only decide on a path to the 2030 renewables target of 65 percent once there is clarity on grid extensions. “You can’t avoid the impression that Altmaier delays the energy transition and sells this as realism,” the newsletter says.
