I should add that the comstruction of new wind generators has been effectively strangled to death by regulations enacted in the last years. Offshore wind energy is limited by a regulation that limits imstalled power generation capacity. This limit is now reached, but the promised increase isn't happening. On land, a new law mandates a minimum distance to settlements that is large enough to exclude a big portion of Germany. Getting exceptions is a lengthy and risky process that requires support from the municipality.
