Green Party Criticizes Government Energy Policy

German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche changed her plans to pay renewable energy companies. The industry and the Green Party are angry about this. They say the changes are not enough to move Germany to green energy.

Katherina Reiche reduced the amount the government would pay renewable energy producers. Felix Banaszak, a Green Party leader, believes this stops Germany’s ‘Energiewende’. He says the government is making the energy transition difficult. This causes worry about jobs in the renewable energy sector. The changes are seen as slowing down the shift to renewable sources.
