I believe that in a few more years, many countries will discover that, LIKE GERMANY, pursuing the dream of having their energy sources from mostly renewable sources is a MISTAKE. They are simply too unreliable.
If fossil fuels weren't depleting at 5% - 7% per year, and weren't causing catastrophic climate change, nobody would consider using anything else. Unfortunately, they are and a transition is something renewable is a good thing. The problem is there is a one big lie: there is no renewable technology that doesn't involve everyones standard of living dropping. Either way, we're fucked. But more fucked in the former case.
