Germany seemingly "succeeded" in getting 49% of its electricity from "renewables" in 2022 - but note, that also includes wood. Regardless, they are one of the most "successful" in the world
But at what cost?

“if it saves the planet no cost is too much!”
The power utilities have to pay 49 cents / kWh! This is a distribution of wealth from the people without solar to the people with solar. Grid dependency on solar is about as dumb as depending on Brandon to walk up stairs.
Another quote from the article: "55 percent of the world’s photovoltaic (PV) power is generated on solar panels set up between the Baltic Sea and the Black Forest." I bet that's 55% of grid solar power, not total solar power including decentralized solar (powering individual homes), is from there. There's no way the solar from that area comes close to equaling the decentralized solar in Australia + southern portion of U.S. + many homes in central America (where you'd be stupid not to have solar). Basically they want you to think the only way anything, solar or anything else, works is if the government does it.
