In Germany, the government is hoping to have 80% of its energy to be attained from renewable sources such as biomass, wind and solar by the year of 2050. As of right now they are contributing to 25% of the country’s electric supply. Germany is getting rid of their fossil fuel stations. Germany’s CO2 emissions dropped a total of 2.4% recently because they are trying to stay away from nuclear power. For now, they are very close to reaching their goal of having 35% renewal energy. They are at 25% currently.
38% of Renewable energy came from wind in Germany, and 16% came from solar energy.
While Germany is trying very hard to get renewable energy, the prices are rising. The people are not happy with hoe much it costs them to buy renewable energy. The reason fossil fuels are so popular.
But Germany is determined to be a change in the world.
