The German wind power industry is on the brink!

Wind power is probably the most important renewable energy source in Germany. Most of the parts used in the production of wind turbines, such as the rotor blades, are mechanical engineering, an industry in which Germany has always been strong.

Currently, however, more and more manufacturers are moving abroad and the expansion of wind power in Germany is faltering. How it could come so far, you learn in this video
