Too much power in the north. Windfarms only work if the wind blows and the wind blows a lot in the North and Baltic seas. The wind is not always blowing inland. When the behemoths stop turning then you have to store excess energy vice a constant regulated source such as a nuke plant.

When the geniuses who devised the wind farms came up with this scheme, they knew what they were doing, as they created a whole new utility that must store power. They gave themselves a reason for existing at the expense of affordable and available power for everyone as an entire new infrastructure must be built to regulate wind generated power in the entire country (Germany). As I have noticed, this was not a nationwide effort, but an enviro-whacko mandate whose main purpose was to shut down nukes...not provide people reasonably affordable energy.

It's what the EPA would do if the congress let them. As you can see, they care about the children...even when they're freezing to death in the winter!

So, where in the article is it talking about anybody freezing in the winter? Also, where in the article does it talk about storing energy? Also, where in the article does it talk about this not being a nationwide effort? You’re making a whole lot of assumptions that are not supported by the data. If you have any other data that shows that, by the German economy utilizing wind power, there will be deaths by freezing, by all means please share this data.

The data I’ve seen is that, in the first quarter of 2014, renewable energy (mostly wind and solar) met 27% of Germany’s need for electricity - didn’t see any stories about people freezing.
