The electric revolution can't come soon enough, and yet these "green" protesters seem to have lost forest for the trees.
I see these protests very much like the green protest against nuclear energy. Talk was "renewables" but the real result was burning the brown, dirty coal that Germany has so much of (Lignite).
It's a knee-jerk tree hugging protest without actually looking into future, without weighing the choices. (Actually, speaking of tree hugging, remember when folks were opposed using a renewable resource, trees, for paper and packaging production, instead giving the push for the oil industry and promoting plastic packaging? Crazy story, right?)
