Das muss man sich mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen: Die Genehmigungen für Windparks haben sich gegenüber 2017 *verzehnfacht*.

Wenn sich das so verstetigt, können wir bald mit 10+ GW Onshore-Zubau im Jahr rechnen.

Das ist dann wohl dieses Deutschland-Tempo.

Do you see the German bar?!🥳🤩

I think German politics and science can be really a little bit proud, that we DID NOT SUPRESS PRICES with our support measures!

This was due to trust in scientific advise and trust in the gas commission* that negotiated the solution

[Georg Zachmann @GeorgZachmann]

The latest German report on public energy research funding indicates some longer-term trends:
- significant bet on H2
- less focus on generation assets
- declining interest in batteries and PV
- ramp-up in CCS research

How long does it take to build a nuclear reactor?

Built this chart with global data 👇

Median time = 6.3 years
Mean = 7.5 years

21% less than 5 years.
68% less than 8 years.
83% less than 10 years.

But a long tail – some reactors took decades to finish.
