"Unreliable German Solar and Wind Forcing New Coal Boom"
At PJmedia.com, Stefan Frank recently reported (on what not to do):
"In his 'climate change speech' at Georgetown University in June 2013, President Obama said: 'Countries like China and Germany are going all in the race for clean energy. I want America to win that race, but we can’t win it if we’re not in it'.
If it were up to the majority of the German people, however, they would rather opt out and let someone else win. According to surveys, only 18 percent approve of the current energy policy. Sixty percent of Germans reject the push for so-called “green” energy if it leads to higher prices, and the same amount think it inevitably does.
They are correct: the electricity price in Germany has doubled between 2000 and 2013. It is now about three times pricier than electricity in the U.S. because staggering amounts of money were channeled into solar and windmill companies."
