  1. No advantage at all. Solar is not realistic for individual because the moment everybody would want it the price would shoot up and the availability simply would not b viable.

  2. If Germany had of planned out their nuclear and clean coal plants they would not be facing the same level of issues right now. But they would not have had the manufacturing advantage they had over the last 3 decades.

  3. Domestic solar energy is minimal and the amount of batteries, solar panels and wiring/switching that has to be done just makes no sense. It simply is not a good alternative to micro level anything.

  4. Clean coal, nuclear, natural gas and renewable were it is easy could really make a large difference for many countries. That should have been Germanys' approach but in doing that they would not have had as much success with their manufacturing but they may have then focused on high end value manufacturing that is hard to achieve but the Germans could have done it.

  5. That is just pure fantasy at best.

  6. Storage and transmission is the real issue when it comes to wind energy. It really needs to used on a local loads such as factories and so on. The actual maintenance of offshore wind turbines must be insane and a lot of Enron level accounting is probably taking place. You will hear the term peak energy which is a very clever way of saying that they get enough energy for a short period of time that they then present as being the whole time.

  7. It is very resource intensive to build geothermal stations.

  8. What sacred cows does Peter have?

  9. It depends on where you live. If Ukraine had solar systems they would just be targeted as well.
