My brother-in-law is German and pointed out to me that Germans bought big time into the solar panel hype and windmill electric generation. Neither one has lived up to the grandiose promises of the hucksters selling the idea.
Apparently, it makes you feel good to draw conclusions about other people, seems to be a habit here.

What I don't like is people that point out all the negatives without providing any evidence or comparison. And of course, if something isn't perfectly good, then it is obviously perfectly bad.

Have fun playing your silly games.
