Green Energy In Germany - Renewable Sources And Capacity Growth
Author: Bharat Book Bureau
Green Energy in Germany: Renewable sources, capacity growth and future outlook
During 2004–08, Germany's electricity generation increased at a low CAGR of 0.7% largely due to adoption of energy efficiency measures with the aim to reduce growth in demand. Germany's energy policy is governed by the strategy to reduce dependence on imports of fossil fuels, while simultaneously switching to renewable and clean energy technologies. With the introduction of feed-in tariffs under the EEG in 2000, renewable energy technologies experienced strong growth. In order to meet the emission reduction target laid out in the EU directive, Germany adopted its own national climate action plan. At present, German government incentives and mandates are the main drivers of renewable energy in Germany.

Same as always…They live in a fantasy world where if you just want something to happen, then it does…Then they wake up after we make them…
While quite advanced as far as sustainable energy goes, Germany, like every other country, still relies mostly on coal, gas, and oil. However, they have a substantial (relatively speaking) investment in wind energy (second only to the United States — #1), then much lesser amounts of solar photovoltaic (solar cells), geothermal, and hydropower.
Completely.
Renewables will be able to provide a lot more than they currently do: maybe ~20% of electricity in most developed nations by the 2020s.
That leaves a gaping hole and nuclear is the only sensible way of heard of filling a good chunk of that without massive air pollution and CO2.
We’re developing these power sources, too, but not quite as fast as they are. In Germany especially, you see farms of windmills dotting the countryside in many areas. In the US, it’s not as common.
A windmill farm was planned for just off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, and some of the locals opposed it because they claimed it would spoil the view. The windmills would have barely been visible on the horizon, yet they didn’t want to be inconvenienced even this tiny amount. We need to get over the idea that sacrifice and effort are for others and not ourselves or our communities to overcome our energy issues in America.
Yes. I also signed it.
What’s all this talk about existing renewable technology from Denmark (wind) & Germany (solar)?
Did you know they can obtain up to 20% of total energy from renewable sources? What the heck are we doing in America? Nothing???
Let’s be serious. What are we, lazy or idiots?
U.K. Feed in tarriffs for renewable energy?
i was researching this after answering a question that got me thinking about why have we not got more home generation like in Germany where they have a feed in tariff for new renewable technology to offset the extra cost, and i came across this petition;
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Feed-In-Tarrifs/
U.K.people please sign if you want to see us anywhere near close the gap on renewables with Germany, they are miles ahead at the moment.
oops better make it a question;
Do you think Feed in Tariffs are a good idea?
James Hansen says renewable energy ‘just too expensive’ and calls for more nuclear power – agree?
NASA GISS scientist, James Hansen, on a recent tour of Australia, has criticised renewable energy for being too expensive currently to be viable and argued for more nuclear power and more research into nuclear power to help speed up the transition away from fossil fuels.
QUOTE:
——————————————–
“While renewable energies such as solar and wind were gaining in economic competition with coal-fired plants, Professor Hansen said they wouldn’t be able to provide baseload power for years to come.
Even in Germany, which pushed renewables heavily, they generated only 7 per cent of the nation’s power.
“It’s just too expensive,” said Professor Hansen, an expert in climate modelling, planetary atmospheres and the Earth’s climate.
“Right now, fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy, except for operating nuclear plants,” he said on the first day of a lecture tour in Australia.
According to Professor Hansen, because the threat of global warming was so serious, nations such as the US, China and even Australia must crank up support for so-called third and fourth generation nuclear systems.”

Do you agree with Dr Hansen that the US and other countries must “crank up support” for nuclear power?

EDIT @ Didier -
some good points – thanks. I personally can’t wait until i can power my home from solar panels on the roof and maybe a small wind turbine without having to invest tens of thousands in installing it, but until they are efficient enough we need some way to keep the lights on!
what types of energy are used in Germany?
6th grader needs to do a report on energy and renewable energy used in Germany.
When is comes to renewable energy, why can’t democrats learn from Spain and Germany’s mistakes?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2010/jun/15/senator-kerry-spains-failed-green-job-program-was-/
Senator Kerry told reporters that “every study” shows that the subsidizing of alternative energy creates jobs, telling reporters on Tuesday,
That is not what studies show in Germany and Spain. Read the story to find out why.
