Germany with less sun than Spain leads revolution in solar energy producing 5 times more electricity with renewable sources – CLEAN ENERGY XXI

CLEAN ENERGY XXI. In 2009 the country had 3 thousand 800 megawatts of installed capacity and in 2015 it registered an installed capacity of more than 43GW the highest capacity in Europe and one of the highest in the world. In 2012, for two consecutive days, photovoltaic solar energy plants installed in Germany produced 22,000 MWh, equivalent to the generation power of 20 nuclear power plants.

According to a report of the Clean Energy XXI publication, it highlights that Germany's renewable revolution called Energiewende is in full swing and apparently it is taking a coup de grace to coal, oil and nuclear to replace them with wind, solar, biomass and other renewable energy. Last September the German Water and Energy Association reported that clean energy, mainly wind and solar, already doubles the generation with nuclear energy.

Subsidies for the installation of solar panels at home

In addition, solar energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels. This country is providing incentives and subsidies for the installation of solar panels in heating systems. In 2010 alone, renewable energies generated more than 370 thousand jobs in Germany demonstrating the importance of this sector, beyond the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Germany is the country that has been most committed to this change through its famous "Energiewende", or energy conversion plan approved four years ago, aims to replace nuclear and fossil energy (ie, natural gas, coal and oil, coal) for renewable energy (such as wind, solar and biomass) seeking environmental protection, affordable costs for the German population and the country's energy security.

It is in this context that in recent years Germany has reached a new world record by producing its 22 GW photovoltaic solar power plants per hour, equivalent to the production of 20 nuclear power plants. Clean Energy XXI emphasizes that currently Germany's installed capacity to generate this photovoltaic energy is similar to that of the rest of the world and provides about 20 percent of the energy consumed by that nation.

Germany will use only non-polluting electric cars

The fundamental goal in the next five years is to reduce 10 million of the 165 million tons emitted annually. The number of green cars is expected to increase to one million electric vehicles

Germany is subsidizing green electric cars. The Minister of Finance announced a financing of one billion euros to change an entire country and help save the planet. A Clean Energy XXI report highlights that in 2030 the sale of vehicles that are not electric or hybrid will be prohibited.

But the changes have already begun. It has been announced that each person who buys an electric car whose cost does not exceed 60 thousand euros, will receive a discount of 4 thousand euros and if the car is hybrid it will be creditor of a financing of 3 thousand.

The measure seems a bit deranged but it makes sense according to a report of Clean Energy XXI this European country strongly promotes the generation of wind, solar, biomass energy and has already closed half of its nuclear plants with three locks.

The data sounds flattering, but it remains to be seen if the world decides to bet on a better place for everyone and not an exclusive industrialized society that consumes its resources and devastates its own home, the planet we live in.
