> "Germany went the renewable path and their annual energy sector emissions are about 300 million tons of CO2." Not really. They held on hard to gas and coal power. Of the latter, a disturbing amount is still based on lignite or brown coal, which is more accurately described as "somewhat combustible dirt". Germany is not nearly as dedicated to green energy as they would like the world to think. They shut down their nuclear sector due to fear, and primarily replaced it with more fossil energy. I do agree that nuclear power is something we should be more positive towards, but that does not invalidate renewable energy sources.
