Environmental activists protest against the deal with Germany's Renewable Energy Law in front of the Chancellery in Berlin
Environmental activists of BUND and Campact! protest against the deal with Germany's Renewable Energy Law (EEG) in front of the Chancellery in Berlin, April 8, 2014. Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet has approved on Tuesday a reform of Germany's renewable energy law designed to curb a rise in the cost of power in Europe's biggest economy driven by the rapid expansion of green energy. The reform will slow the expansion of green power, which accounts for 25 percent of Germany's electricity and force new investors in green power to take some risk.
