Ms. Reiche is clearly on the wrong track if she gets what she aims at. What I don’t understand is that while many are criticizing Germany for these plans, while a country like China - which is using much more and an increasing volume of such fossil fuels - is literally hailed for its energy policy, even though what happens in the country is much worse than in Europe.
China gets praised in certain circles, because they do install record numbers of renewable energy. Renewables make up a bigger and bigger share of their overall energy production. But they do also build fossil fuel power plants, as their demand for energy outpaces their ability or willingness to build more renewables.
