Germany got 60% of its electricity from renewables in 2024, and two thirds are planning to get home solar, meaning it is on track for its goal to be a 100% renewables nation within 10 years. (www.euronews.com)

German here, yes we unexpectedly thrive with renewables, especially PV. With wind we lack a bit, and with storage.

I guess the thrive came through soaring energy costs due to the Ukrainian war. For farmers it's currently more profitable to rent their land to solar PV plants than sowing crops.

your industry obviously isn't thriving on renewables The german "green transition" of the past few years is widely explained on expensive energy killing heavy industry and therefore lowering total energy consumption and making renewables more pronounced in german energy mix. You done goofed by shutting your nuclear plants down.
