Wind power, solar heat, geothermal heat, biomass and water power are becoming increasingly important as energy suppliers in Germany. Their share of total power production grew from 4.6 percent in 1998 to eight percent in 2002. By 2010, it should be 12.5 percent. In contrast to coal, oil and natural gas, renewable energy sources are available indefinitely and cause, if at all, only low pollutant loads. In the development of new mining opportunities, Germany occupies a leading position worldwide and exports the technologies all over the world. Currently around 130,000 people work in this high-tech sector.
