The "environmentalists" blocking windturbines are not the same environmentalists that are in favor of renewables.

Precisely. For example:

Facts dismiss your post.

Germany has consistently beat renewable targets in years advance and 50% of their gross electricity consumption comes from renewables.

It's baffling really to read political comments on ycombinator.

Both could be true: most projects facing initial blocking but eventually getting done. Would be a function of pipeline and lead time.

Err, don't the more current facts dismiss your post as well towards what you were commenting for? Coal is going up. Gas is going up. Both not renewable.

It's baffling really to see comments like this, honestly. You're completely misrepresenting our progress with renewables and how both our government and environmentalists have hindered our development of both the industry and real projects.

What about nuclear? If I understand correctly, there was nuclear capacity being closed while coal is still burnt in substantial numbers.

The German green party is against nuclear for spurious reasons, and too proud to admit wrongness.

Nuclear is commonly not considered a renewable, and the nuclear capacity was already EOL but for some power plants they went over the original closing date so was prologued, not closed.

Coal is on the rise. Gas is on the rise.

Isn't the problem just that the term is being used inappropriately?
