wind solar power linesGermany may be the only nation that has based its energy policy on absolution.

Germans call it Energiewende (“energy transition”), and they aim to decarbonize their economy and lead the world by replacing their fossil fuel and nuclear plants with renewable energy. [bold, links added]

Germany is the first major nation to undertake such an effort, and, as hoped for, their early adoption of renewables has catalyzed a spectacular drop in costs for those technologies.

But, it's still hella-cool to hang out with the green socialists, right?  They have the best beach-side mansions for Summer parties.
