Some forks in the road are downright vertigious, as my friend GG would say - although, not necessarily for the reasons you might infer below. Take for example what's happening in Germany: -- German Energy Revolution: Big Gift to Big Business Berlin to Exempt 1,550 Firms From Electricity Surcharge From DER SPIEGEL \| December 24, 2010 Germany plans to exempt 1,550 large firms from a power price surcharge that covers part of the cost of switching to renewable energy. Critics say the list of exemptions is spurious and unfair to households and small businesses. It risks undermining faith in the government's switch to clean power. Article: spiegel.de Hat tip: Richard Shockey on the Cook Report on Internet discussion list, who noted (emphasis mine): "Under pressure from German Industry the entire cost of renewables is being shifted to the consumer.
