Germany’s Experience: How Effective Are Renewables, Really?

Wind turns out to be impressive.  It’s still a fair bit more expensive than what we pay here ($0.0735CDN/KWH* vs. $0.09USD/KWH), but that’s not that huge (solar is $0.43/KWH!)

Overall it’s stuff I didn’t know much about.  Would have liked info on prices for nuclear and such, but not enough that I’m about to look them up elsewhere.

*-took the lowest flat-rate I could find for ontario.  The standard rate varies over peak and valley hours and I wasn’t about to try to figure that out.
