Right. If the previous government had not throttled down the built-up of renewable sources, we probably would be close to phasing out coal already. The technology is fundamentally there, we just need to build way more wind generators and set up solar cells. Germany installed 10GW of solar peak power in 2012 and 5 GW of wind peak power in 2016. Compare that to a grid load of up to 80 GW. The technology to produce green gas is existing too, but not rolled out widely - which hangs on having enough renewable electricity.
