(archive: 2018) Wind energy in Germany and Europe – Status, potentials and challenges for baseload application – Developments in Germany since 2010 #DEU: In Germany the installed nominal capacity of all wind turbines has increased eightfold over the last 16 years to 50,000 megawatts today. In the 18 most important European countries using wind energy today, the nominal capacity rose by twelve times to more than 150,000 megawatts.

WA will fail to achieve net-zero by 2050, Woodside report warns
By Cason Ho

Woodside-commissioned modelling suggests WA is not on track to reach net zero by 2050, even if its massive Browse gas project proceeds, unless renewable energy is rolled out at unprecedented speed.
