I didn't miss that. I'm saying it's concerning that Germany's energy availability is so impoverished. To quote myself:
> I wonder what it would take to get German energy consumption up to a better level.
- Timon3 3y agoWhat is bad about using less energy? What is good about using more?
- wyager 3y agoEnergy usage is synonymous with level of civilization. I like civilization.
- Timon3 3y agoAnd yet, america uses much more. Shouldn't that give you a pause? :) Jokes aside, you're describing a correlation. America does not seem "more civilized" to me, you guys are just wasteful. Wasted energy does not lead to more civilization.
- wyager 3y ago> Shouldn't that give you a pause? No; It's completely consistent with my model. America is more advanced by a huge margin. It's also evidently a more desirable place to live; the Germany-to-USA migration rate is something like 3x the other direction.
