Sobriety Returning To Germany…Leaders Finally Realizing Green Energies Are Fraught With Huge Obstacles

At the site of Germany’s Arbeitgeberverband (Federation for German Employers) Dr. Björn Peters wrote a piece describing the recent “Baden-Badener Energiegesprächen“, an energy pow-wow where political and industry leaders met for 2 days to discuss Germany’s energy future.

“Surprised by the realism”

From the two days of presentations, speeches and discussions, there are clear indicators that German political and industry leaders are “finally” realizing that the Energiewende (transition to green energies) is nowhere near as easy as previously expected and promised to the public.

According to Peters, “We were surprised by the realism among the experts”.

His commentary also notes that although the excitement of the Energiewende was great 20 years ago, today the targets of green energies are still a long way off. He reports:

I don't know how willful it was to, 20 years ago, not predict the rise of Bitcoin, which now consumes 1/6 of German electricity.  And some of this was unfulfilled optimism.

I think plenty of folks brought up these issues 20 years ago, if not specifically. There is no excuse for putting all your eggs into what was basically hopes and dreams when it was enacted.
