Germany plays fair

Germany has confirmed that energy from polluting sources such as coal or gas are already less profitable than those from “green” or renewable sources.

During 2013, companies such as Rheinisch-Westfälisches Elektrizitätswerk (RWE), the main energy company in Germany, reduced their energy production from polluting sources by up to two thirds, on the other hand, solar increased by up to 42% for the same period of 2012, what’s more, it is estimated that during 2015 51% of the energy has come from the citizens themselves through solar panels on the roofs of private buildings.

The main reason that explains the rise of green sources is, as expected, the impulse and incentives that the government applies in this regard, helping companies that bet on renewable energies.
