I smile every time a journalist gushes about solar energy in Germany. I lived there for 3 years in several parts of the country. The southern most latitude in the country is approximately the same as Vancouver, and it can be overcast for weeks, even in the summer. Sure, Freiburg gets some good sunshine for a few weeks. What they're really talking about is German built solar farms in the Sahara!
