The renewed push for renewable energy expansion in Germany leaves no more room for the NIMBY (not in my backyard) mentality that has long stalled the buildout of wind turbines, solar farms and other modern energy infrastructure in the country, Max Haerder writes in an for the WirtschaftsWoche. 鈥淎lso, nature conservation areas will now become wind farm locations. That鈥檚 just the beginning,鈥� Haerder writes, after the government presented a compromise between the economy and climate ministry and the environment ministry on renewables expansion in ecologically sensitive areas. Economy and climate minister Robert Habeck, from the Green Party, in January for the first time called for more 鈥渆cologic patriotism鈥� that would allow to simultaneously reduce emissions and become more independent from fossil fuel imports by building more renewables. Even before Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his war on Ukraine, the Green Party made the energy transition a matter of survival. 鈥淣ow, that has become a reality,鈥� Haerder writes, adding that 鈥渆nergy policy is now security is now defence policy.鈥� Every new turbine 鈥渂ecomes charged with geopolitical significance, every solar roof becomes an anti-Putin banner, and buying gas from the United Arab Emirates is still morally superior to buying it from Russia鈥�. The Ukraine war has hardened Habeck鈥檚 position that the country can no longer afford 鈥渁 long search for an energy transition consensus鈥�. Instead, renewables and grids 鈥渉ave to be built. Right now鈥�.
