A thing of beauty. Fuck around and find out. #rekt
I was not aware that the German government set mandates for grid power production, although I'm not surprised.

Whatever the reasons, this is the result in Germany.

I agree with you that there should be no government subsidies for energy generation. There should be standards for the kind of power that gets pushed into the grid but that's about it. If companies can make a profit providing power to the grid, then their business model is viable. And the sources of grid power do not matter to consumers, only reliability. We don't need central planning to make that happen, we need a market based system that keeps track of and balances the supply, storage and demand of electrical power as needed to maintain the grid voltage and amperage.
I've read enough about the science of climate change to have my own opinions about it, but this doesn't seem to be a good place to have that conversation.
