German solar juggernaut rolls on despite tariff cuts

18. I cited an article earlier about the specific cause of rising costs in Germany.

I am curious, and will go look, to see what percentage of PV Canada is deploying. I know they have significant production capability.

Again, I have not defended or encouraged nuclear in any way here, let alone coal. Just want to be clear on that. That ship has sailed. It is done. Over. The dangers and cost have made it un-viable.

Yet, we have a renewable solution: wind with pumped hydro storage. PV does have that one nifty effect: it kicks into max gear right when cooling demands are highest. Other than that, every dollar sunk into PV sounds like a waste, when you could get more mileage (wattage) for that same dollar with other renewables, without even bothering with Natural Gas at all. What fun!

*WE* should be doing what Germany attempted. WE have significantly sweeter solar power opportunity in kWh/square meter in over half of the united states than you do in Germany at all. You have to go south in Europe to Spain or deep into Italy to match the south/southwest united states.

WE should adopt their tariff model, and kick in some additional funding because Americans generally get pissed when bills get bigger, and yay, improvement.
