It Can Be Done.

The Fuzz thinks this is interesting.
If they could do it, couldn't the rest of us?
"Germany gets 50 percent of its electricity from solar for the first time"
"...now for the first time ever, that country has succeeded at generating over 50 percent of a day's electricity from solar. On Monday June 9th, which was a national holiday in Germany, solar power production peaked at 23.1 GW, which equaled 50.6 percent of total electricity demand."
"Germany’s successful solar strategy has been to encourage individuals to install them on rooftops rather than building huge solar farms. 90 percent of solar panels in Germany are located on individuals’ roofs."

Of course it won't be easy, but the potential is here.
Or will we keep wasting of energy fighting over it.

Food for Thought


(From Spiegel On Line)
"Britain, which has yet to recover from the 2008 financial crash, is peering enviously at Germany's economic structure with its focus on engineering, its medium-sized firms, apprenticeships, regional banks and long-term business approach. The opposition Labour Party, but also the Conservative-led government, are starting to embrace German ideas."

Maybe they know what they're doing.
