Driving to my in-laws in Niedersachsen up from northern Bavaria through the former East on Christmas Eve was revelatory: not only a slight increase in windmills, along with several of those enormous blades parked on the side, but banks of solar panels along with Autobahns everywhere, in various states of construction, but the ones with panels up were of course more conspicuous. Those solar panels weren't there back in June.
