In Germany Green electricity gets heavily subsidized. So heavily that they have imposed a system on us that distorts the market logic completely. The more green electricity gets produced over here, on a windy or sunny day - the more expensive the kW-hour produced by that becomes for the private household. Ni exaggeration, no joke. Nice, eh? the more power we produce, the more expensive it becomes for the private household. Su-per!

Doesn't market logic say the more available an item is, the cheaper it becomes, and the rarer it becomes, the more prices for it go up?

I do not say that green tech could not work and could not work economically. It's just that they regulate it all to death - for reasons of political power, control and especially ideology. Ideology maybe more than anything else.

Health, social equality and green tech at all cost are the modern trinity and have become the surrogate religion of today. Their gospels justify every violation of economy. Especially when they meet planned economy desires and "strong government".

Germans (and the EU) really are in need to inhale a huge dose of English enlightenment: Locke, Smith, Hume. Platon and Rousseau have already caused us so much misery and catastrophe, we really need to learn to leave them behind. The more I learned about the English tradition of philosophy there, the more I learned to appreciate it. Maybe the differences between Anglosaxons and Germans are best summarised by pointing out that Anglosaxon tradition is heavily influenced by the thinking of Aristotle, and German philosophy (and French as well!?) instead followed Platon for the most.
