[QUOTE="klein, post: 844430, member: 23950"] I see it as another missed opportunity for the USA. Germany was actually the largerst manufacturer of solar panels, before China took it over, too. The cost of putting solar panels on every single highriser in the city is probably much less then buliding a nuclear plant. And you won't have nuclear waste that must be stored somewhere for thousands of years. Baba says the sun doesn't always shine, I give him that, but energy can be stored, too ! And another source of electricity is gas made out of human and animal waste. Now that source you can definitly count one ! Just a quick answer to the question – why Germany? After all, the country is definitely not among the sunniest places on earth. Well, starting in 2000, [COLOR=#08476a]Renewable Energies Laws[/COLOR] (EEG) were passed, and the country has seen a remarkable growth in solar energy over the past 9 years. But Freiburg is unique. It is known as “Solar Valley,” due to the incredible investment into solar panels, which includes a famous solar train station and the [COLOR=#08476a]Zero Emissions Hotel Victoria.[/COLOR] You can even watch an exciting soccer match at a solar powered stadium.
