An overwhelming majority of Germans continues to back the expansion of renewables and most are also willing to pay for it, a new poll for the Agentur für Erneuerbare Energien (AEE) think-tank shows just weeks before general elections on 24 September.
“The results of the poll prove how broad the societal consensus is that supports the Energiewende (energy transition) in Germany,” says Nils Boenigk, deputy managing director at AEE.
