ā€œSupported for nothingā€

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

The invsolvency of Germany’s last solar cell maker, SolarWorld, is a failure of the country’s support for renewables, Patrick Bernau writes in an opinion piece for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He argues that the scheme distorted the market. ā€œThe solar industry has again demonstrated what happens when the government interferes too much in the energy transition – or any other area. It’s a lesson for those who decide on financial support for e-cars and building insulation,ā€ Bernau writes.
