Liberals love to tout how great alternative energy is compared to fossil fuels. What the same environmentalists refuse to acknowledge is the costs that will be paid by the energy companies customers.

While people such as Obama and Clinton continue to push for alternative energy by acting as if it’s a surefire way to lower energy costs, Germany has proven that a lie.

The German government has officially declared it will cease building any new offshore wind turbines in an effort to lower energy costs for the European Union’s richest nation.

Tell me, what causes you to excerpt your own material rather than posting the whole thing?

Well, the invaders probably aren’t used to electricity. So with shutting down the nuke plants, shutting down coal plants, and stopping new wind, the thermal plants should be adequate for Germany’s industrial needs.

Another victory in Merkel’s plan to destroy Germany.

A spokesman for the WV coal industry was interviewed on Fox a few days back and discussed how the regulations issued by Obama have damaged the industry. He also said that the cost per kwh to produce electricity from coal is $.04 and the cost for wind and solar is, as I recall, $.28.

I’m certain of the $.04 for coal and am certain the figure for wind and solar was in the $.20s, and believe his figure was $.28 per kwh. Whatever, a huge difference in cost per kwh, not to mention that coal and wind is far less reliable.

I clicked on your article and boy is it screwy.

I followed your link to Reuters, but that article is about onshore windmills and your article is about offshore windmills.

Your next problem is relying on Daily Caller as a source of authority.

There was a FR thread on this subject yesterday, also relying on Daily Caller. But on investigation, it turned out that Germany was delaying the off shore windmills because they have to wait on the new transmission lines to be built.

Click on me and you can find yesterday's tread, and in my reply #20 there is a link you can follow where they explain about the new transmission lines
