Solar 50.4 GW dominates the entire scene as an immense plain of crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels stretching across roughly three-quarters of the canvas, their aluminium frames glinting under a blazing, cloudless midday sun with sharp shadows; wind onshore 6.3 GW appears as a modest line of three-blade turbines with white lattice towers on gentle hills at the right edge, blades turning slowly in light wind; biomass 4.1 GW is rendered as a mid-sized wood-chip plant with a compact smokestack and biomass storage silos in the middle distance; brown coal 3.4 GW occupies a small but prominent cluster of hyperbolic concrete cooling towers emitting thin white steam plumes on the far left; natural gas 1.9 GW is a compact CCGT facility with a single tall exhaust stack beside the cooling towers; hydro 1.2 GW appears as a small dam and spillway cut into a green hillside; hard coal 1.1 GW is a single blocky power station with a striped chimney near the brown coal plant; offshore wind 0.1 GW is barely suggested as a faint silhouette of a single turbine on the far horizon. The sky is completely clear, brilliant pale blue, expansive and calm, conveying the sense of oversupply and negative prices through serene openness. Spring vegetation — fresh green grass, budding deciduous trees, wildflowers beginning to bloom — reflects 14°C mild April weather. The landscape is central German rolling farmland. Painted in the style of a highly detailed 19th-century German Romantic oil painting — rich saturated colour, visible impasto brushwork, luminous atmospheric depth — reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich merged with industrial realism. Meticulous engineering accuracy on every turbine nacelle, every PV cell grid pattern, every cooling tower's parabolic curve. No text, no labels.
