Abstract
Renewable-energy potential exists in the Federal Republic of Germany to a g reat extent, but it is barely used as yet. A change in the power-supply str ucture seems to be too risky with regard to finance and the sensitive labou r market. Nevertheless, an extension of renewable energy systems in the Ger man state North-Rhine Westphalia would lead to improved employment prospect s. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
