It took some time to get grip on all the information we got about renewable energy landscapes in Germany and Denmark. We are still impressed about the various possibilities for renewable energy landscapes and a more sustainable energy supply these other European countries showed us. During the last weeks we structured this information to have it in a usable form for our research. Also we studied theories about change and transitions according to energy in a society. This interesting material offers new opportunities and ways to implement new techniques for renewable energy.
Besides these theoretical changes we have to stay in touch with the reality. The new Dutch government has made new regulations according to energy supply. The Netherlands has to be more independent on energy from other countries in the next coming years. Unfortunately the Dutch government don’t want to generate more own energy by stimulation renewables but has started to build two new nuclear power plants. The goals for the generation of renewable energy use are lowered from 20% to 14% in 2020, and again, the subsidy system will be changed. As far as we can say at the moment, this conflicts with our criteria for more renewable energy landscapes. But, of course our work is till in progress and maybe we are wrong...
