Shhhh, they might hear you in Nevada and stop closing the coal plants in favor of their new magic solar and wind farms.

Whatever your politics, you must obey the laws of physics. Solar and wind are simply not dense enough to be economic and power a modern industrial society. the Germans have also abandoned nuclear power. Their big green initiative is not the first time Germany has made a catastrophic strategic blunder.

“The German power system is structurally broken,” said a report by Macquarie. “There are not enough cables to bring the electricity to the main industrial centres in the Ruhr and Rhine regions, and the patchwork grid cannot cope."

You mean to tell me that Germany, once the scientific and Engineering powerhouse of the world, is just now discovering what has been known for 100 years?

A.C transmission too distant from where the power is needed 'loses' up to 50% of the generated power, and when wind power efficiency hovers around 5%,well...

D'OH!!

What went wrong?

“Germany’s push for wind and solar and its retreat from nuclear power is driving electricity costs to untenable levels and destroying support for the green agenda, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned. “

MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MINDS!!! If SAVING THE WORLD is the objective, then ANY COST should be borne - the United States did it in World War 2 - we had a HUGE DEBT when the war ended (of course we were able to pay it then as the cost for FDRs time bombs hadn’t kicked in the ‘Great Society’ was still 20 years away).

So, DAMMIT, Germans - pay the price!!! We paid a huge price to kick your butt 70 years ago, now it’s your turn to slay the GLOBAL WARMING MONSTER!!!

Go for it, BIG BOYS, show the world what you can do!!

(idiots)
