Outlook
Regardless of the boom of Renewable Energies in the last decades, there are still many challenges that have to be met. One of them is integrating the electricity generated by decentralized renewable energy power plants into the existing electricity grid structure. The challenge here is that the existing grids were built in accordance to the centralized energy system of the four main energy companies in Germany (namely: E.ON, Vattenfall, RWE and EnBW). The more decentralized clean energy is produced (since the ratio of renewable energy of today 20% will be growing in the following years), the more necessary it gets to adapt the grid infrastructure. Furthermore, yet another challenge is the storage of electricity that is of paramount importance in order to be able to store and transport electricity generated by renewable energies.

Famous quotes containing the word outlook:
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
“My whole outlook on life changed with those three little words, “The rabbit died.””
—Anonymous Mother. Quoted in When Men Are Pregnant, ch. 5, Jerrold Lee Shapiro (1987)
“Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.”
—G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
