They definitely deserve immense credit for the renewables build-out the last decade. Having more than doubled their energy production from renewables from ~15% to over ~35% in that time. Accounting for 2-4% more per year, hopefully it's near a tipping point where it begins to hammer down coal consumption there. Throw in some natural gas on top, maybe Germany chops coal use down by 1/2 in the next 10 years.
