I, for one, am HAPPY Germany is taking on this challenge. There isn't a more technically capable country in the world, and if Germany can make a successful transition to wind and solar power, the U.S. should be able to do it too!
I don't think that will happen. More likely, Germany will burn a lot more coal and make Europe a far dirtier place. But I think it is great that Germany is going to try.
More power to 'em. So to speak. But I'm glad it's them and not us.

If German renewables fall short of requirements this summer, Germany will have to burn more coal and import more electricity from France and the Czech republic to stay afloat.
Such a situation would likely hit its neighbors too, but Czech utility CEZ says its cooling towers would help keep its nuclear capacity intact, enabling exports to Germany.
