The potential consequences of the unambitious draft Renewable Energies Act (EEG), a bill that was recently proposed by the German federal government, are particularly dire, writes Martin Schachinger of pvXchange. The bill must be met with loud protests to avoid jeopardizing the development urgently needed to attain the country’s modest climate targets. Otherwise, Germany will face the threat of universally dreaded electricity shortages over the coming decade, as well as other completely different catastrophes that will make the current Covid-19 crisis look like a walk in the park.
