THANKS, VLAD!:

Germany boosts renewables with "biggest energy policy reform in decades" (Kerstine Appunn & Julian Wettengel, 7 April 2022, Renew Econ omy)

Germany wants to fight the climate crisis and its heavy dependence on fossil fuel imports by speeding up the rollout of renewables with a massive overhaul of key energy legislation.

In the "biggest energy policy reform in decades," the coalition of Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Free Democrats (FDP) proposes to lift the rollout of wind and solar power "to a completely new level" in a draft law amounting to more than 500 pages.

It aims to free up new land for green power production, speed up permit procedures, and massively increase wind and solar additions to achieve a nearly 100-percent renewable power supply by 2035.

After little more than 100 days in office, Germany's new government has presented what it calls the "biggest energy policy reform in decades" to massively increase the buildout of renewable energies.
