German renewables lobby chief cites federal headwinds, 'longing for old days' slowing transition

Ursula Heinen-Esser, head of Germany's renewable energy lobby, publicly criticizes federal government resistance to the energy transition, citing a 'longing for the good old days' as a key obstacle. This marks a notable public rift between the renewables sector and the federal government, potentially signaling policy friction that could delay Germany's decarbonization targets. The exact nature of the headwinds remains unspecified, but the statement reflects growing tension over energy policy direction.
