A new study by Berlin’s Technical University estimates that renewable energy subsidies between now and 2030, including an expansion of the power grid, will saddle German energy consumers with costs well over €300 billion ($377 billion).
Solar subsidies cost German consumers billions of dollars a year and are widely regarded as inefficient. Even environmentalists are concerned that Berlin’s focus on solar comes at the detriment of other renewables. But the solar industry has a powerful lobby, and politicians have proven powerless to resist.
Solar panels have a critical vulnerability – mud.
In some areas a thunderstorm that ends a drought can stir up dust with its winds, mix it with rain, and create a mud storm. Unfortunately for solar power plants, this is likely to happen in dry, sunny climes where rain is a rarity – the perfect ‘habitat’ for solar panels.
Can you imagine having to wash a few hundred ACRES of windows?
If a company could show that there is a zero emission system that takes CO2 directly from the stack of an energy plant or eliminates the coal ash from a dumpsite, again with zero emissions, while also producing three renewable energy sources in great abundance wouldn’t this seem to be more useful than solar energy?

I would be delighted to clean the windows firing water cannons from my biplane. No problem. I have some friends who would be happy to help. Will they haver to speak German? I can speak enough to get by.
