BERLIN, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Germany is likely to generate more than 50% of its power from renewable energy this year but needs to ramp up the speed of its transition towards the end of the decade, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday.

It's good and I hope more and more country ramp up they renewables production but without following Germany's example.

I feel like Germany forgot that the goal is not to install renewables energies, the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions. Renewables energies are just a mean to this goal.

Rather than seeing that

renewables would have to account for 80% by 2030.

I would prefer to see something like

"CO2 emissions for electrical production should be down by 80% by 2030 compared to 19xx levels."

And how do you come to this statement? Do you define what Germanys Goal is? Reducing CO2 Emissions certainly is the main target but it is surely not the only one. Renewable energies solve a lot more problems than just CO2 emissions.
