The German government adopted its future energy strategy on the 28 September 2010. The government signalled its ambition to wean one of the world’s largest economies off fossil fuels by pledging to generate enough renewable energy to meet 60% of the country’s energy needs by 2050. Norbert Röttgen, Environment Minister, said it was 'the most ambitious energy programme ever seen, not only in Germany'. At the heart of the plan – seven bills overseen by five ministries lies the extension of the lives of Germany’s 17 nuclear power stations, the last of which was meant to close in 12 years. |
