Talk:German Renewable Energy Sources Act

article lacks more than inline references
noticed the reference tag "sources remain unclear" but references ARE there.

i find this article has other problems: it's poorly written (sounds translated in many spots), lacks pertinent info (eg don't think the "founding fathers" of the law are that central, certainly doesnt need a bullet point section) from unbiased references (e.g. DENA is incorporated and has been criticized for biased studies and projections) and it's not up to date (2005-2011 max). people come here, linked from all kinds of pages about RE, to learn about what this German RE law did and does.

will start cleaning up, and, yes, Professor Jones, move references from end-note format in-line, per your referencing tag, although the references ARE there, so this is cosmetic and the least of the article's problems. .--Wuerzele (talk) 04:05, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * after looking for some of the unclear quotations I finally found that most of this text was lifted from here --Wuerzele (talk) 07:39, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is a consensus not to remove the natural disambiguation. Jenks24 (talk) 07:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

German Renewable Energy Act → Renewable Energy Act – We don't have information on any other Renewable Energy Act. The proposed target is a redirect to this article; WP:CONCISE. Essentially, switch the article and the redirect. Si Trew (talk) 08:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Renewable Energy Act" should redirect to renewable energy law (and renewable energy act, renewable energy bill, Renewable Energy Law, Renewable Energy Bill) -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 07:21, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment since this is a law in Germany, there's no proper English language name, so the generic name should lead to a generic topic instead of a specific one. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 07:21, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose India, the Philippine, Canada (provinces), UK, etc all have acts titled "Renewable Energy Act". The country qualifier is necessary to any potential disambiguation.--Labattblueboy (talk) 23:42, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Overhaul of page
I am about to embark on an overhaul of this page. In particular, I would like to at least address or expand the following points:


 * better treatment of the historical development of the EEG
 * better treatment of its current status as EEG (2014)
 * coverage of future proposals
 * coverage of the EEG levy (Umlage)
 * the role of public opinion in the development of the EEG
 * improved assessment of the EEG feed-in law as a form of renewables policy
 * improved but short section on criticisms of and alternatives to the EEG

Any comments or offers of help most welcome. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 14:37, 2 July 2016 (UTC)


 * A draft of my proposed overhaul can be found at User:RobbieIanMorrison/sandbox/eeg. Please comment here if you have suggestions.  I intend to copy over the new material on 5 September 2016 when I come back from holiday.  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 14:39, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * ✅. Just shifted over the new material.  RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
