Sad to see, over the last year or two, Germany seeking to wriggle out of previous renewables commitment levels, although the reversal has not been as spectacular as that of Spain six years ago. Some offshore wind is going forward, and it seems there is some work going on in some less webogenic fields, such as non-electrical energy destinations and in developing storage and more sophisticated grid systems. 27% by 2030 sounds miserable, but at least it is an honest figure, acknowledging the scale of the task, instead of the more widespread “electricity = all energy” nonsense, which I heard implied again just yesterday on PM (ABC Australia). I would hope that, before 2030, any laggard state still trying to obfuscate about the scale of the problem, to shirk its contribution to the solution and talk about building more coal-fired power stations, should begin to be seen as a pariah state, and liable to a range of ridicule, boycotts and sanctions – I mean, that should apply about now to all developed countries, and to all countries by 2030.
