The German National Government has implemented a range of policies to reduce CO2. emissions. The country has embraced the renewables revolution, particularly wind and solar power, with greater enthusiasm than any other. The 30 megawatt WKN wind farm at Zitz-Warchaw in Brandenburg is part of a massive investment which has spawned a new manufacturing industry and is making Germany the largest producer of renewable energy in Europe.
