The main problem with renewable energies, at least in Germany, is that they're not replacing anything, they're just added on top of existing fossil sources, so in the end we still pollute as much and we're still as far as ever from our end goal.

The fact that we consume so much more just hides the truth behind nice percentages. The reality is that Germany burns as much fossil fuel as they were 20 years ago, and on top of that they offer the most expensive end user kwh price of Europe
