I feel like Germany forgot that the goal is not to install renewables energies, the goal is to reduce CO2 emissions

And how do you come to this statement? Do you define what Germanys Goal is? Reducing CO2 Emissions certainly is the main target but it is surely not the only one. Renewable energies solve a lot more problems than just CO2 emissions.
