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.

Maybe they can restart the nuclear power plants...
So, nice article history.

Tell me, what causes you to excerpt your own material rather than posting the whole thing?
Asked and answered, your honor.
I see no answer.
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.
ECO-WARRIORS on suicide watch...? music to my ears!
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.
Maybe we can get them all to commit mass suicide and we could put it on YouTube. I know, wishful thinking.
murkel does something right.
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
Probably just to piss you off and goad you into engaging your fetish of complaining about blog excerpts.
We SO miss them. /s
What would you accept as an appropriate lease fee plus initial installation cost for a 10kW co-generation unit sited at a residence?
A proposal has surfaced suggesting an installation fee of ~$1500, a lease fee of $.06 per kW (inverter included) with a minimum yearly usage imposed; and, no connection to the grid required for operation. The waste heat from the residential units appears to be free of charge for use.
The billing is automated through a network connection used to monitor the equipment for proper operation, as part of the service. If located in a grid area such that small generation can establish a power purchase agreement with a participating utility, a profit sharing percentage for the lessee is available for any excess capacity available for sale.
Field test of commercial units is slated for the 1’st half of 2017. When NDA’s are lifted, very detailed information will become available to the public.
I don’t know. My per kwh cost varies from $.12 to $.16 during the year, or a total bill ranging from $75.00 to $200.00 monthly. $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 for a year. It would probably take some profit from the sale of excess capacity to make such a setup feasible for most homeowners.
Are there any links that give more information of the type setup this would be?
