Germany Produces Record-Breaking 5.1 Terawatt Hours of Solar Energy In One Month
oritonic1 writes "Germany is rapidly developing a tradition of shattering its own renewable energy goals and leaving the rest of the world in the dust. This past July was no exception, as the nation produced 5.1 TWh of solar power (PDF), beating not only its own solar production record, but also eclipsing the record 5TWh of wind power produced by German turbines in January. Renewables are doing so well, in fact, that one of Germany's biggest utilities is threatening to migrate to Turkey."
This can't be right, solar doesn't work, Germany is too far north, the lights must go off every night, PV is a stupid technology, nuclear is the only way!!1 How can this be happening, it must be a liberal media lie put out by the scientifically illiterate eco-nazis... it... it just can't...

With enough government subsidies, I'm sure you could build a profitable solar plant underground...
Please don't give out politicians ideas.They come up with enough stupid ideas on their own without your help.
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
I can't see Turkey putting out more energy than coal or natural gas. Surely it wouldn't be any cheaper, or cleaner, to burn Turkey than what they are using now.
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
Since the sky seems to fall quite often, maybe we should build skyfall power plants.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
"I'm sure in the future you can just generate nineteen point twenty one jiggawatts from a windmill, but in the 1950s it's a little hard to do."
