Fucktard LIAR!
Alt Energy is crashing like a collapsing building.. As the subsidies are withdrawn it will crumble just like it is in Europe.. Germany is now tearing down windmills and solar panels becuse they are worthless on a large scale.
Renewable energy in Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Germany's renewable energy sector is among the most innovative and successful worldwide. Net-generation fromrenewable energy sources in the German electricity sector has increased from 6.3% in 2000 to about 30% in 2014.[1][2] For the first time ever, wind, biogas, and solar combined accounted for a larger portion of net electricity production than brown coal.[3] While peak-generation from combined wind and solar reached a new all-time high of 74% in April 2014,[4] wind power saw its best day ever on December 12, 2014, generating 562 GWh.[5] Germanyhas been called "the world's first major renewable energy economy".[6][7]
More than 23,000 wind turbines and 1.4 million solar PV systems are distributed all over the country's area of 357,000 square kilometers.[8][9] As of 2011, Germany's federal government is working on a new plan for increasingrenewable energy commercialization,[10] with a particular focus on offshore wind farms.[11] A major challenge is the development of sufficient network capacities for transmitting the power generated in the North Sea to the large industrial consumers in southern parts of the country.[12]
According to official figures, some 370,000 people were employed in the renewable energy sector in 2010, especially in small and medium-sized companies. This is an increase of around 8% compared to 2009 (around 339,500 jobs), and well over twice the number of jobs in 2004 (160,500). About two-thirds of these jobs are attributed to the Renewable Energy Sources Act[13][14]
Germany's energy transition, the Energiewende, designates a significant change in energy policy from 2011. The term encompasses a reorientation of policy from demand to supply and a shift from centralized to distributed generation (for example, producing heat and power in very small cogeneration units), which should replace overproduction and avoidable energy consumption with energy-saving measures and increased efficiency.
Now... what's the other side?
Anyone can quote Wikipedia. Intelligent people, consider BOTH sides of the argument, to determine the truth.

The price, according to the EU, and Germany itself, has more than almost tripled since just 2000. While US prices have remained fairly stable, Germans have some of the most expensive electrical power in the world today.
Merkel's Switch to Renewables: Rising Energy Prices Endanger German Industry - SPIEGEL ONLINE
Last spring, Chancellor Angela Merkel set Germany on course to eliminate nuclear power in favor of renewable energy sources. Now, though, several industries are suffering as electricity prices rapidly rise. Many companies are having to close factories or move abroad.
Shocking. Now companies that are electricity intensive, are closing up shop, and leaving the country, specifically because of the massive price hikes caused by wind mills and solar panels.
According to a recent survey by the DIHK, almost one in five industrial companies plans to shift capacities abroad -- or has already done so. The study also finds that almost 60 percent fear power outages or voltage fluctuations in the power grid, because wind and solar power are still too unreliable.
"The promotion of renewable energy has led to substantial displacement effects on employment in the conventional energy production sectors, as well as in downstream industries that are particularly energy-intensive,"
DIHK is a German government body for industry.
So apparently this had been a massive negative. For the left which claims to be for American jobs, solar and wind energy is a great way to kill jobs, and move them over seas.
Don't take my word for it......go do your own research on where we will be with coal for at least the next 40-50 years!!! Oh....and take a look at what the Obama administration's ENERGY INFORMATION AGENCY outlook is on coal out to 2050!!! Too......look at where solar and coal will be in 2040...
