Green Math Doesn't Add Up

 There was a long drawn out science and energy piece on N-TV this morning.  I'll try to tell the story in twelve lines.

So the agenda in Germany is to have a ton of E-cars around by 2030, and 'green' power producing all the electrical requirements necessary.

There's some German scientists who sat down and did the numbers, and this week....they wrote a letter to the German government.

In simple terms, green-produced energy will NOT be able to provide the power necessary for the cars, industry, and homes....at the level advertised over the past decade.

If you were reviewing the landscape....what you'd say is that either you go and buy expensive dirty energy from France, Poland or Czech (lots of it), or you went and operated a lot of coal-powered German plants.  The possibility of nuke power coming back?  Well....that gets discussed in this news piece as well.

What'll happen now?  I would assume the pro-green-energy folks will try to analyze this more....probably agreeing that somewhere in their formulas....they screwed up.  

Resolving this?  I wouldn't expect anyone from the current political scene to volunteer to chat over this or the possible ways to fix the mess.
