The document discusses Germany's feed-in tariff for renewable energies. It notes that the feed-in tariff has been an effective stimulus package for renewable energy without requiring new public borrowing. It also discusses how the feed-in tariff has led to growth in renewable energy jobs in Germany and increased investment in wind and solar energy capacity. The key components of Germany's successful feed-in tariff law are outlined as well.
