Germany’s new Economy Minister Katherina Reiche on Friday called for the rapid construction of new gas-fired power plants in the country to support the country’s energy supply when renewable sources are unavailable

She said it was important to “quickly move to tender at least 20 gigawatts of gas-fired power plants to maintain energy security.”

Reiche ruled out a return to nuclear energy

"This means we need to conclude the relevant free trade agreements with Chile, Mercosur, India, Australia and Mexico. And I explicitly say, we also need the United States of America," Reiche said.

    To late.

    When they start now renewable will be viable when they finished and then they need to switch again.

    Better to invest in renewable now so that the infrastructure is there when the technology is capable enough.
