    Looks like Germany is leading the charge into oblivion.

    Starting in 2021 and throughout the 2020s, many of Germany’s pioneer wind turbines, solar PV installations and biogas plants will stop receiving fixed feed-in tariffs, meaning many gigwatts in renewable capacity may be shut down if they can’t find a new business model to run on.

    This – in a nutshell – is what made Germany’s renewable energy boom of the past two decades possible.
    Generous and guaranteed feed-in tariffs under Germany’s Renewable Energy Act (EEG) saw the share of renewable power, mostly coming from wind, solar PV and biomass, in electricity generation rise from about 3.5 percent in 1990 to 35 percent in 2018

    "....experts are still worried about the uncertainty that many of the old renewable installations face. Will they be able to operate economically, banking only on a fluctuating or too low wholesale power price?

    Pull the consumer tax funded teat from their mouths & unreliables energy sector starts crying like a baby
