Agreed. In my native Germany the green energy created a nasty energy cost explosion, grid reliability issues and the absurd situation where poor tenants subsidized rich homeowners' and farmers' energy costs. This is a complete nightmare, of course garnered with the hypocrisy of pointing the finger to the US. To give you some background on the German (and also European) mentality, let's look at what the culture wars are about here and there. In the US, the culture war which emerged in the late 70s is largely around things like abortion, gun control, religious topics like creationism vs. evolution, women's rights etc. - what you see on Fox and MSNBC, for example, ad nauseum. In Germany, the culture war which emerged a few years later is more about environmentalism. Formal religion and its derivatives are not a big topic in Europe. The anti nuclear power movement in Germany has everything of a manic religious awakening movement, though. This includes major hypocrisy ;-) It's all there. To understand green energy in Germany or Scandinavia means to understand that it's the centerpiece of the Culture War there. There is nothing rational about the Green Energy movement there just as there is nothing rational about the Religious Right here.
