#China knackt als erstes Land 1000 GW #Solarleistung – mehr als doppelt so viel wie alle EU-Staaten zusammen! 2025 erzeugt Chinas #Solarstrom fast so viel wie die #Atomkraft der halben Welt.
Und Deutschland? Will bei der #Energiewende wieder bremsen.
China überschreitet als erstes Land der Welt die Marke von 1.000 GW Solarleistung
Münster – China entwickelt sich immer schneller zum Motor für den globalen Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien. Allein in den ersten sechs Monaten des Jahres 2025 wurden in China neue Solaranlagen mit einer Leistung von 210 GW (210.000 MW) neu errichtet. Das ist deutlich mehr als die gesamte installierte Solarleistung in den USA mit rund 178 GW (IRENA, 2024); Deutschland liegt Ende letzten Jahres bei 100 GW (MaStR, BNetzA).

1. Here's a fish swimming upstream. Nothing unusual about that.

What's unusual is that this particular fish is *dead*. Vortices in the water as it flows past the fish cause the fish's body to flex, maintaining orientation and actually propelling it forward.

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?
