There is scope for optimism as the Germans are much more efficient on soft costs. Several studies have looked at why the gulf exists between U.S and German costs so people are focused on narrowing the gap. I think it'll happen, maybe from late 2016 when the industry gets super competitive for business as demand drops due to the Itc expiry.
