1. Man….. How much is an appartment in Germany? Maybe moving out pf Canada to more open minded places is a good thing. USA, and Canada are like the fall behinds in the class’s of the world. While other countries are looking into the health benefits of nutrition and herbs and such these two countries are still in the dark ages saying “oh pay attention to this and forget what can actually help you”.

2. How come only the previews come up in my sub box never the full episodes.

3. How beautiful…

4. Solar panels dont just explode after 20 years but have been tested to have dropped by 15-20% of their rated output. Still useful and not ready for the junk yard.

5. I’m pretty sure he (?) is right about Germany still relying mostly on fossile fuels though, and of course on Germans doing plenty things without thinking them through. Renewable energy still only produces around 10% of the amount consumed.

6. I’m trying to send you a link but youtube won’t let me post it and I can’t pm you it.

   Have a search for “instituteforenergyresearch germany study final”

7. I don’t imagine that you’d consider me a credible source, but I’d expect you to do your research on the subject. My expectations were obviously too high.
   Which vastly smarter people disagree with me?
   I am in a position to talk down to you about the definition of science, if you don’t know what it is.
   I’m not trying to be rude, you’re just quite frustrating as you don’t seem interested in facts.

8. Why do you imagine that I’d consider you a credible source where Germany’s solar power efforts are concerned?

   Moreover, it’s only your layman’s opinion that it’s “not the right thing at the right time”, vastly smarter people disagree with you, and you’re in no position to talk down to me about the definition of science. Adjust your tone or this conversation is terminated.

9. Of course that includes Germany, that’s what we’re talking about. Everything you’ve heard is wrong. They have spent loads of money on a huge installed capacity, but that doesn’t mean that they are making much energy from it.

   Ah, I see. You’re one of those people who think that loving all technology, even if it’s not the right thing at the right time is great. You need to learn what science is, that’s fundamental to this discussion, then we can get into the other more complicated issues.

10. I never said that of coal. You’ve knowingly misrepresented my meaning. I will however endeavor not to misrepresent yours, as two wrongs don’t make a right.

    You’ve mentioned wasted money on solar in northern Europe. Does that include Germany? Everything I’ve heard indicates they are doing incredibly with regards to solar energy. How does that fit into your narrative?

    Don’t claim to be aligned with science, by the way, when you’re selectively anti-technology.

11. Sorry, I’m attacking coal, how is coal energy efficient and technologically sophisticated?
    I’m also attacking wasting money on solar in northern europe, which may be technologically sophisticated (most aren’t) but are certainly not efficient.
    Science and facts trumps creaming your pants over something that others have told you is ‘green’.

12. Or at least, what you perceive to be. Either you’re onboard with a more energy efficient and technologically sophisticated future or you’re not, and that comes through very clearly in which ideas you choose to attack.

13. No it didn’t. It indicated a distaste for blind, unscientific, knee jerk reactions that may make the problem worse.

14. Your reply indicated passive aggressive opposition to cleaner, more efficient technologies that will be necessary to preserve our current standard of living in a post-oil world.

15. Go on, explain what you mean by that. I’m sure it’s very clever.

16. Why so antifuture?

19. Nope, it’s not coal anymore, which is dropping lower and lower while green energy percentage is continually on the rise with wind energy taking the lead. Germany is ahead of the UK when it comes to renewable energy with a slightly higher co emission per capita than you guys. But well, it’s not like the UK is much of an industry/production powerhouse, unlike Germany. ;)

    Worldwide emissions are up, in the EU, including Germany, the US and Japan they are down.

20. Nope, pretty sure it’s still coal.
    They’ve done plenty without thinking it through.

21. The biggest percentage of power is produced through wind plants by now anyway. And please keep in mind that we are talking about Germans here. They don’t just do stuff without thinking it through. ;)

22. Guys, making your own home energy does not have to be hard (I used to think it did). I’ll give you some advice right now. Look for a alternative home energy known as Xobotano Home Energy (search on google). Seriously, Xobotano Home Energy has save large sums of my money. I probably should not even be mentioning it cause I don’t want a bunch of other guys out there running the same “game” but whatever, I am just in a great mood today so I’ll share the wealth haha.

23. Let me add to that: Adding more renewable energy and shutting down nuclear power plants were two different acts. The addition of more renewable energy was long-term planned by the gouvernment while the shutting down of the power plants was a purely populistic decision after the Fukushima incident because a bunch of uneducated people here got panic.

24. I apologize for the guy who apologizes for the English of his fellow Germans…
