But, but, the narrative!
Since 1990 renewable energy generation has grown by a factor of over ten to the point where it now supplies 30% of Germany's electricity. One would think that this would have had a visible impact on Germany's electricity sector emissions, but as shown in Figure 3 it's difficult to detect any impact at all.

Repeat after me: "Installed capacity is not generated electricity"

... and correct me if I am wrong ... but "biomass" ... = chipped, pelitized, TREES chopped-down in Canada, then shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, to be burned in giant 'pellet stoves' to power turbines via steam generation ?

It sounds sooooooo much better when you call it by its "Eco-friendly" name ... BioMass. Kewl ... it's got "Bio" in its name ... like that Bio -logy class I never took in college. Wow man ... I'm all FOR "Bio" stuff !
