Energy policy is more hectic than ever since the hasty phase-out of nuclear energy in 2011 under Angela Merkel (CDU).

In view of the war in Ukraine and the dangerous dependency on Russia, the omissions of the previous governments should be ironed out within a very short time.

This also includes accelerating the expansion of wind energy, which can be generated CO2-free at home.

It is good and right that the environment and economics ministries have pulled together to reconcile climate protection and species protection.

The latter will be regulated nationwide in the future so that there is legal and planning certainty and the procedures can be accelerated.

The protection of the landscape is stepping back, the energy transition will play first fiddle in the future.

Unfortunately, hustle and bustle leads to weaving errors.

One of these is that the obligation to designate 2 percent of the area for wind turbines has not yet been coordinated with the federal states, let alone lashed down.

A law that takes the second step before the first could stumble.
