    Been hitting their targets so far. And at >31.5% renewables.  Your solar and wind numbers are rather misleading.

    It would be unreasonable to expect no new coal.  Though I am pretty sure these new ones you are posting are replacing depleted fields.

    Germany and the other states of the European Union were working towards a target of 12% renewable electricity by 2010. Germany passed this target early in 2007, when the renewable energy share in electricity consumption in Germany reached 14%.

    In September 2010, the German government announced ambitious energy targets: After the 2013 elections, the new CDU/CSU and SPD coalition government continued the energy transition, with only minor modifications of its targets in the coalition agreement. These targets include, for renewable energy:
