Germany’s Approach to Reducing Fossil Fuel Use May Be Global Model - Let's hope not.
Germany should focus just on one objective, reducing carbon emissions. Eliminating nuclear power is hugely counter to that objective. Both Solar and Wind power are intermittent with fluctuations when the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow that requires back up power, power that currently comes from the cheapest source available, dirty coal. So while Germany is patting itself on the back for a great renewable energy policy, its putting more dirty carbon in the atmosphere and missing its self imposed carbon emitting limits. In other words its paying a huge economic penalty to clean the air while doing the opposite.
