Energiewende (energy transition)

Energiewende is Germany's initiative to shift from relying on fossil fuels and nuclear power to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydropower. Its goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainability, and ensure a secure energy supply. The transition involves increasing renewable energy production, enhancing energy efficiency, and phasing out nuclear and coal power. This process aims to address climate change while maintaining affordable and reliable energy for consumers, balancing environmental goals with economic considerations.
