The US has 3900 % more solar radiation than Germany, and yet Germany produces 6000 % more solar energy than the US.
German solar power plants produce a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour, equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity.
European countries, such as Germany, Sweden and Denmark have met their Kyoto Protocol commitments and have been hit the least by the economic crisis.
Solar power in the United States has been demonized by some as a Left Wing Conspiracy.
Even older homes on Main Street in any given German village employ solar energy.
The obstinance of other global residents reminds me of the following quote by Mark Twain:
The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them. – Notebook, 1898
