German State Minister: We Can Decarbonize With Renewables Because "We Don't Have the … Koch Brothers"
A state in Germany's industrial heartland is moving quickly to replace nuclear power with renewable energy, a transition that supporters say could be applied in the United States to reduce our reliance on coal.
The state of Baden-Württemberg, home to Mercedes-Benz and a strong manufacturing sector, faces abrupt changes to its energy systems as Germany strives to close its 17 nuclear power plants over the next 12 years. About half of the state's electricity derives from nuclear generation, or double the national average.
Officials aim to lean heavily on renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro and biomass, which are expected to provide at least 80 percent of the state's electricity by 2050. Germany is already moving in that direction, with about 20 percent of its power currently coming from renewable sources.
So Climatewire (subs. req'd) reports today.
At the same time, NPR reports the pro-pollution extremists running the House say American's aren't up to the task:
Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), who chairs an energy and commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations, originally supported the program when Congress created it….
"We can't compete with China to make solar panels and wind turbines," Stearns says.
Seriously. We invented the modern solar cell, but after that, the GOP says, Americans can't compete.
UPDATE: CAP's Kate Gordon explains at the end why the GOP's stunning willingness to conceding the clean-energy race to other countries is un-American.
How can Germany do what the GOP says Americans can't? They have a bipartisan consensus and no climate denial machine, according to a leading German politician:
"The state government of Baden-Württemberg is extremely committed to the transition towards a low-carbon economy," Franz Untersteller, state minister for the environment, climate and energy, said yesterday at the Center for American Progress. "We aim at decarbonizing our economy by midcentury."
The state, the capital of which is the industrial hub of Stuttgart, is already complying with a national renewable energy standard and European initiatives that reduce greenhouse gases and increase energy efficiency. But it's pursuing its own goals, too, including one state initiative requiring homeowners to use renewable energy for residential heating….
"The great advantage we have in Germany at the moment is we really have the broad consensus in society that corresponds to the size of the task we face," said Ulrich Luscher, who represents the CDU, the conservative party, on energy issues. "I definitely agree … that we have enormous possibilities for the economy in that [clean energy] sector."
There's also agreement about the impacts of fossil fuels on the environment.
"The other thing is we believe in climate change," said Frithjof Staiß, managing director of the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research, which develops clean energy technologies with funding from the government, industry and research groups.
Bracken Hendricks, a scholar with the Center for American Progress, says the German model shows that renewable energy can be ramped up quickly without large electricity price spikes. It can also create jobs, he adds, not decimate the workforce, as Republicans often claim.
"The costs turn out to be grossly exaggerated and the benefits are understated in our political debate," Hendricks said.
There's another element at play in the United States that the Germans found unusual. That's the amount of skepticism around climate change and the industrial forces at play to promote scientific doubt.
"We don't have the situation like you have in the U.S., where you have this Koch brothers," Untersteller said, referring to the billionaire heirs of Koch Industries.
And that may be Germany's biggest competitive advantage.
UPDATE: TP Green has a post by Kate Gordon, Vice President of Energy Policy at the Center for American Progress, responding to the GOP's apparent surrender on clean energy:
The statement by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) that we can't compete with China on clean energy manufacturing is not only untrue, it's frankly un-American. Lest we forget, the U.S. is a major manufacturer, with 12 percent of our GDP coming from the manufacturing sector. To put that in perspective, when we recently lost less than 4 percent of GDP after the housing bubble burst, we called it a "Great Recession." Twelve percent is a lot. And in the clean economy, including renewable energy, efficiency, clean transit, and transportation, more than a quarter of all jobs are in manufacturing.So maybe Mr. Stearns didn't get the memo, but we're already competing with China on clean energy manufacturing in general, and in solar and wind manufacturing in particular. We actually export solar panel components to China, which – along with Germany – is actually the leading destination for most of those exports. And in the wind sector, there are over 400 manufacturing firms across America making the component parts of our domestic wind turbines, and we not only make about 50 percent of all the wind components we use here in the U.S., but we also export parts to Canada, Mexico, Chile, and other countries.
Sure, China may sometimes out-compete us when it comes to mass manufacturing of mature technologies, using lower labor costs and strong subsidies. But where America excels has always been in more advanced manufacturing of new and emerging technologies, where our high-skill workers, proximity to inventors and engineers, and strong university and lab support make us a leader.
The big question facing the U.S. is not whether we're capable of competing with China to manufacture the clean energy future. The question is whether political leaders like Mr. Stearns will develop the courage and vision to embrace that future. Right now there are millions of Americans with jobs in clean energy innovation, manufacturing, installation, operations, and maintenance. But if Congress can't get it together to pass the policies and programs we need to ensure a stable market for clean energy technologies, our existing clean energy companies may just start looking elsewhere for a better deal. And then China really will win.
Indeed, in this case, the U.S. will end up third, behind China and German.

It's great to see other countries (Germany) moving forward, breaks my heart to see where the U.S. is going in comparison.
It's not just Germany – most of Europe is moving in the same direction to a low carbon economy:
"Climate change is now seen as an opportunity to deal with the economic downturn in Europe," said Jürgen Lefevere, a European Commission negotiator at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiating session that ended late Friday in Bonn.
No matter what a conservative or a Republican might say always remember that Republicans Are Quitters!!! NO WE CAN'T is their motto. Stearns is a defeatist.
Thank goodness we have some Congressmen more hopeful that Stearns. I was reading "Clean Energy Nation" today where my own Congressman, Jerry McNerney and co-author Marty Cheek wrote:
"Here at the junction of one road leading to oblivion and another road leading to hope, we must make the wise choice for our future. For the sake of preserving America's values, let us now begin traveling to a better world."
There are a few who really get it. It is our job to increase that number.
Jerry McNerney will be in a tough re-election fight; it was down to the recount-wire last time. I urge people here to support him!
Here's a little framing suggestion that should be adopted by ALL progressives.
ALWAYS refer to Ayn Rand as "The atheist, Ayn Rand."
It's just a little tool to short circuit the Libertarian cause with the religious right wing.
Sorry, but I'll not be joining in on this little smear. This kind of "guilt by association" tactic is beneath a true progressive and borders on bigotry against atheists. I might point out that the members of the National Academy of Sciences are strongly atheistic and count among their members a significantly higher number of progressives than the general populace.
It is also worth noting that belief in god among Germans – ya know, the people who are the subject of this article – is much higher than in the "christian" USA.
Oops, that should have said "…disbelief in god among Germans…"
Being an atheist myself I find the idea amusing. The gist is to point out the absurdity of the whole Libertarian movement amongst the religious right.
The Libertarianism is, quite literally, only a movement funded by the Koch's to create a Plutocratic rule in America today.
Crap… I wish I could edit my posts. Oh well. You get what I mean.
With the greenwashing one hardly needs the Koch brothers.
Corporate creative accounting meets the environmental movement.
Germany to fund new coal plants with climate change cash ( http://www.thelocal.de/national/20110713-36277.html )
Germany Looks to Fossil Fuel Amid Nuclear Exit
Ms. Merkel said in a parliamentary declaration on her government's decision to phase out nuclear power. "At least 10, more likely 20 gigawatts [of fossil capacity] need to be built in the coming 10 years." (
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304259304576375154034042070.html )
Thankfully as bad as America is adopting clean energy we have yet to set ourselves back at lest 10 years in the effort.
@John Tucker, Merkel is really dead in the water. "Sitting duck" is too weak a term for her situation, where a large part of the population just laughs at her, and some 90% disdain the FDP (the "tax exemption party") she needs to govern. So she's trying hard, left and right, to find things that get her support, including cuddling up even more to the energy industries. All of them. And after she knifed Big Electricity in the back with the nuke ban, she now needs to mollify them again.
Depending on when the next election comes (the CDU/FDP absurdity called a coalition may break any day) we may not even see one of these plants get into the zoning planning phase.
Exactly! I have heard this type of defeatist rhetoric from any climate denier that I have tried to talk about solutions with. There is no point debating the science; go straight to talking about solutions. Anyway, when you ask them what mitigation solution is acceptable to them… they got nothing for the most part.
What Rep. Stearns means to say is that the GOP will not allow America to compete with China in solar and wind manufacturing.
The quote from Stearns should have included what he said right after it, which made his statement all the more defeatist. He said we should focus on the energy industries we CAN win, meaning oil, coal, and gas. It implies that we need to give up clean energy to China and drill baby drill like there's no tomorrow (there won't be if we keep going this way).
Bracken Hendricks should visit and talk abt the German greenwashing at the #OccupyWallstreet assembly. Take good ideas to the street!
May this be on the front pages of the NYT, USTODAY and TIMES….
The problem with sterns is he is already wrong – the US has a solar trade surplus with China, by far, unbelievably still.
U.S. Solar Energy Trade Assessment 2011
( http://www.seia.org/galleries/pdf/GTM-SEIA_U.S._Solar_Energy_Trade_Balance_2011.pdf )
It comes mainly from our polysilicon manufacturing, a major raw component in higher efficiency solar cells.
So as someone with a chair on The House Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus he is basically either incompetent or on the take.
My money is on the take:
I am working with my colleagues in Congress to reduce our dependence on imported oil. I believe that Congress should open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to environmentally sensitive production, increase offshore drilling at least 125 miles from the coast, reduce bureaucratic barriers to build more nuclear power plants, and allow more refineries to be built.
In addition, America possesses about one-quarter of the world's coal supply, enough to meet current demand for 250 years. There is already a workable process that turns coal into a liquid fuel for trucks and automobiles, and clean-coal technologies are reducing the environmental impact of using this fuel
H.R. 6107 – would allow environmentally sensitive production of oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Energy exploration will be limited to just 0.01% of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's total acreage.
H.R. 6108 – authorizes the exploration, development, and production activities for mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf.
H.R. 6132 – would authorize DOE to enter into a competitive, long-term contract with the private sector to recycle spent nuclear fuel.
H.R. 5656 – would repeal section 526 of the 2007 energy bill, which banned government purchases of oil from sources such as tar sands, shale, coal-to-liquids and gas-to-liquids.
H.R. 6138 – would repeal the FY2008 Udall amendment that banned development of western shale oil.
H.R. 2208 – would provide loan guarantees for up to six coal liquefaction plants in the United States.
H.R. 6139 – would streamline the permitting and sitting process for refiners while preserving environmental protections.
He is well funded and no real serious challenges in 2010 – he takes a populist stance on most issues so is able to carry rural areas effectively.
The district is gerrymandered to fit rural areas. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_House_of_Representatives,_Florida_District_6_map.png )
Note: I actually like H.R. 6132 but it should be a requirement.
It's not just the Kochs- it's Exxon, the media, and the banks. They feed off each other, and don't care about us or are future. That makes it easier to fight them.
Sweden is really the best example. The US press never talks about them because they are afraid to say anything good about "socialism". This shows how pathetic our media has become.
Meanwhile, Sweden has economic equality, and a much higher percentage of renewables than Germany.
Germany has it's denial machine outlets as well. Sponsored primarily from ExxonMobil. They were even partnering up with some of a german party. The FDP (maybe the closest thing to the tea party, but really something different, not radical). They are pro business and after years have managed to become for the first time part of the government. They done so much for businesses and lobby groups that they are now considered by most germans as incompetent and a total fail. The last elections they lost groundbreaking and just got 1.8 in the berlin elections last september.
The FDP had meetings with deniers and even invited Fred SInger to speak in the Bundestag to some from the FDP and some of the major party CDU. Though it was regarded as controversial within the parties too and this year it has become very quiet about support for deniers in the german political landscape. Exactly with this kind of lobbing the FDP made it's testament.
To bad that in the US ill-advised company infiltration into political circles is dealt and judged differently by the voter or so it seems so far.
Maybe more education into the implications of the current republican politic when it comes to climate and national security could help to bring more awareness to the topic and influence votes.
Can you supply a reference for that last clause?
A another Atheist, I agree that we should use the Ayn = Atheist line.
Sweden leads the European Union on renewable energy, producing 44.4 percent of its energy from renewable sources http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/sweden-leads-the-european-union-on-renewable-energy-2026290.html
How astonishing and sad that German politicians seem more aware of the Koch brothers' corruptions than most Americans are.
Notice that the Sweden economic success story started when introducing a carbon tax!!
"In January 1991, Sweden enacted a CO2 tax of 0.25 SEK/kg ($100 or EUR 72 per ton) on the use of oil, coal, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, petrol, and aviation fuel used in domestic travel. Industrial users paid half the rate (between 1993 and 1997, 25% of the rate), and certain high-energy industries such as commercial horticulture, mining, manufacturing and the pulp and paper industry were fully exempted from these new taxes.
In 1997 the rate was raised to 0.365 SEK/kg ($150 per ton) of CO2.[108][109] In 2007, the tax was SEK 930 (EUR 101) per ton of CO2.[110] The full tax is paid in transport, space heating, and non-combined heat and power generation. Owing to the many exemptions, oil accounts for 96% of the revenues from the tax, although it produces less than three-quarters of CO2 from fuel combustion.
The tax is credited with spurring a significant move from fossil fuels to biomass. As Swedish Society for Nature Conservation climate change expert Emma Lindberg said, "It was the one major reason that steered society towards climate-friendly solutions. It made polluting more expensive and focused people on finding energy-efficient solutions."[111][112]
"It increased the use of bioenergy," said University of Lund Professor Thomas Johansson, former director of energy and climate at the UN Development Programme. "It had a major impact in particular on heating. Every city in Sweden uses district heating. Before, coal or oil were used for district heating. Now biomass is used, usually waste from forests and forest industries."
Economic growth appears to be unaffected. Between 1990 and 2006, Sweden's economy grew by 44-46 percent (approx 2,8% annually), depending on source."
Sweden today is one of the most competitive economies in the world.
No other place to put it, a story on the Arctic Ozone Hole…
Given the cooling of the Arctic stratosphere due to the enhanced greenhouse effect and a strengthened polar vortex, ozone loss which is usually limited to the Arctic winter extended into the spring resulting in a well-defined ozone hole. Although smaller than the Antarctic ozone hole, the Arctic hole in the Spring of 2011 was comparable in strength, and it tends to wander to lower latitudes where solar radiation is more intense. This story is of some significance given the potential for skin cancer and cataracts that may result from the Arctic ozone hole where the hole is capable of reaching even the lower 48 states (Seattle is at 47.62°N and this wandered as low as 46.8°N), resulting in dangerously high ultraviolet radiation levels.
Please see:
"Although the Arctic polar vortex is smaller than its Antarctic counterpart, it is also much more mobile, often moving over densely populated lower latitudes, where UV radiation is more intense than near the pole. By mid-April 2011, the lower stratospheric vortex had shifted off the pole and sat over central Russia, remaining intact and enclosing total ozone values less than 275 DU through late April (Figure 5). Significant increases in surface UV radiation were associated with these low ozone levels. For example, under a lobe of the vortex extending south over Mongolia on 22 April, the clear sky UV index (UVI, a commonly used metric for gauging the impact of surface UV radiation on human skin36,37) at 48°N, 98°E was 8.60, compared to the long-term average of 5.36, an anomaly roughly seven times the standard deviation. The 22 April value was close to the highest UVI at that location in mid-summer. On 17 April, a tongue of vortex air extended over the Alps. Even though this tongue had experienced some in-mixing of extra-vortex air, the UVI at Arosa (46.8°N, 9.7°E) increased to 7.4, about four standard deviations above the long-term mean. UVIs exceeding 7 can cause sunburn within minutes."

Hi there. I am glad that Germany is moving in this direction. But I have questions about a variety of things regarding the production and use of solar. On emissions, it seems, looking at this paper – http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1021/es071763q – that PV panels have good environmental lifecycle performances. However, there is a gas used in the production – Nitrogen trifluoride – that is a dangerous greenhouse gas which has been found in greater amounts in the atmosphere (http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/10-08GreenhouseGas.asp). Also, I wonder if the energy output will ever be enough to replace the energy dense fossil fuels. I really think a no-growth economy (or deliberately contracting the economy) is required in order to transition to a no fossil fuel world.
"The gas is 17,000 times more potent as a global warming agent than a similar mass of carbon dioxide. It survives in the atmosphere about five times longer than carbon dioxide. Current NF3 emissions, however, contribute only about 0.04 percent of the total global warming effect contributed by current human-produced carbon dioxide emissions."
"Nitrogen trifluoride is used in the plasma etching of silicon wafers. Today nitrogen trifluoride is predominantly employed in the cleaning of the PECVD chambers in the high volume production of liquid crystal displays and silicon-based thin film solar cells. In these applications NF3 is initially broken down in situ, by a plasma. The resulting fluorine atoms are the active cleaning agents that attack the polysilicon, silicon nitride and silicon oxide. Nitrogen trifluoride can be used as well with tungsten silicide, and tungsten produced by CVD. NF3 has been considered as an environmentally preferable substitute for sulfur hexafluoride or perfluorocarbons such as hexafluoroethane.[2] The process utilization of the chemicals applied in plasma processes is typically below 20 %. Therefore some of the PFCs and also of the NF3 always escape into the atmosphere. Modern gas abatement systems can decrease such emissions.
Elemental fluorine has been introduced as an environmentally friendly replacement for nitrogen trifluoride in the manufacture of flat panel displays and solar cells.[3]
Nitrogen trifluoride is also used in hydrogen fluoride and deuterium fluoride lasers, which are types of chemical lasers. It is preferred to fluorine gas due to its convenient handling properties, reflecting its considerable stability.
It is compatible with steel and Monel, as well as several plastics." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_trifluoride
Germany lacks something we are saddled with. A huge pro-business propaganda media (Fox, Limbaugh, Savage, Levine, etc.) that supplies a low information public with false "news" shaped ultimately to help the rich and corporations.
Germany suffered such a propaganda machine once in its history. Theirs had different goals, but it still boiled down to a democracy being badly deceived through propaganda. The lesson was so severe, such a national disaster, they will never be fooled again.
Our nation seems not yet fully aware that it is the propaganda machine on the right that led to the damage we see here.
Maybe the shape of our disaster and its cause is becoming clearer at last to the average citizen – the bank fraud, the Wall St. theft, the phony but profitable wars, the resulting personal and national debt.
To be fair, we only know what the Germans *intend* to do over the next 12 years. We don't yet know if they will succeed, or what the economic impacts will be. The possibility exists that this doesn't work as well as planned, and 12 years from now we will be wondering what happened to that former manufacturing powerhouse and exporter. I wish them well with their experiment.
The crazy thing here in Germany is, it's not the adherents of libertarian market religion who are prone to deny science. More often than not I meet hippies, artists and other sort of "alternative" types who tell me all the lame stuff about GW on Mars, cosmic rays, the iris effect, etc.
(I don't watch much of German politics, having TV thrown away long ago. But my impression is, the Greens aren't very vocal about AGW. Perhaps the conservationist green folks of the 1980s can't stand the picture.)
The energy cartels can manipulate the US market as long as we depend on them.
German towns are more compact than those in the US, and usually with well-located public transportation links. It's easier to walk or bike or use a rechargeable. Converting to an electric car that can be parked at a rail station seems quite accessible.
Rebuilding neighborhoods with local services and setting up public transport with logical scheduling and destinations could do a lot to wean the US from the grip of fossil fuel cartels.
Almost all of that 44.4% renewable is hydro power, most Western countries have most of the available dam sites already tapped. 45% comes from nuclear power. So basically Sweden has nuclear power as their main base power, and dams give a nice flexible power source, since the water flow can be turned up or down pretty fast. So nuclear and hydro power add up to almost 90% of Sweden's electricity production so it isn't surprising that they have very low emissions.
Germany's plan to shut all its nuclear power plants by 2022 will add up to 40 million tones of carbon dioxide emissions annually as the country turns to fossil fuels according to analysts
Joan, I hear your suggestion about rebuilding our cities. But, that is not going to happen.
There is about one or two trillion dollars+ need to replace water and sewer systems, upgrade school buildings, repair roads, bridges and escalators on our subway systems. Just a few basic needs. No money there.
I'm going to need a source on your claim that Germans believe in God at a much higher rate than Americans. A quick google search yields quite the opposite…
I figured there would be a replacement for Nitrogen trifluoride. I wonder in the economic order of things how well this replacement will be employed given cost, sunk costs, etc. If panels are produced in relatively unregulated areas (such as in China), would this substance still be used even if it became a priority to remove its use.
Nationalization of fossil fuel industry is going to be the first significant step in tackling GW.
Great discussion. The Koch/Fox/Heritage etc. right wing propaganda machine gets away with it in the US because there is a huge number of uncritical thinking know-nothing fundamentalist Xian types ready to believe whatever fits their worldview. If you believe the Rapture is coming any day now to whisk people like you to heaven, and an invisible uber-Daddy figure is listening to your every word and telling you what to do…well, you'll believe anything, or disbelieve for example a century or two of established science. You might even be a top candidate to run for President (Bachman, Perry, LaSarah, etc.)
Europeans already use half the energy per capita than we do (or something like that).
Even in England, you get big car registration fees every year based on the carbon output of your car.
And I hear you.
There are some low cost improvements, though.
Some bus routes and schedules haven't been seriously revised in decades to accommodate potential passengers, those who lament that they'd be happy to give up their car, "if only."
Zoning changes can allow neighborhoods to develop, like a business area in a formerly all-residential tract, or smaller lot sizes for housing in among larger.
Devious… I like it :-)
The thing about PV is that it
1. scales well, cost of modules has been going down 22% for every doubling of capacity for 25 years now.
2. It is easy to install, can be mobile
3. There is no waste heat, so the energy capacity can be way lower than a comparable amount of fossil fuels
4. It will arrive at a price parity around 2020. It is already rather cheap in good locations, like Hawaii or the Great Basin, where you get 2000 kWh per Year from 1 kWp.
5. No external costs. Not like coal. Check out Nordhaus et al 2011 http://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/aer.101.5.1649 . When external costs of coal electricity are internalized, the costs of coal are likely to exceed the generated value.
They aren't pro Business. They are pro certain businesses. How is killing off your workers and making them ill pro Business? When the people cant go to work, are sick, not insured… This is not pro-Business, it's anti-human.
Never mind the EU, Norway (non-EU) has been powered by hydropower for the last century. It's still >99% hydropowered.
Call me crazy but I think domestic solar panel and wind turbine production capacity are national security priorities far more important than whatever the new fighter is that the pentagon wants to spend a trillion dollars on.
That means we should tax, tariff, demand domestic production from foreign manufacturers or otherwise do whatever it takes.
This idea that the needs of the american people should be subservient and secondary to corporate profits needs to be ash-canned.
Sorry, but this is the same kind of dumb useless populism that we saw during the Bush years when a bunch of ignorant neocons were breaking French products in the streets.
The problem with most renewable sources of energy is costs, and in a still-industrial country like Germany going for pricey renewables like solar is suicidal.
The irony gets even worst when you see how the German solar industry its being gutted by the Chinese.
The other day I was reading in Der Spiegel how the Chinese are even taking advantage of the many tax exemptions and loans the German government gives to their citizen.
I guess admitting their error would be too much for the eurocrats, specially considering a prc bureaucrat wouldn't be caught dead giving the same benefits to imported goods that they give to national products.
But my point is that renewables ARE the future, but NOT NOW, and while cutting down on fossil fuels like oil and coal is the smart thing to do (in fact it should've been done 40 years ago!) killing nuclear and depending completely on if there's sunshine or if the wind is blowing it's plain stupid.
What nobody likes to mention is that the RMBK-class reactors in Chernobyl were a disaster, and that TEPCO was so corrupt that no matter what business they get in something is going to explode.
There's actually more radiation being released to the atmosphere from coal burning than nuclear reactors, but then again try to explain that to the idiots in the gas guzzlers who can't even understand the basic concept of fission.
@John Tucker
Sorry, but this greenwashing-blabla is just misleading. I live in Germany and our energy concept has nothing to do with greenwashing.
Off course, there will be about 10 GW worth of fossil capacity built. But this is no contradiction with our climate goal and is just a pragmatic step on our way. Mainly the whole thing has two reasons:
First, we *need* flexible power plants which can balance fluctuations in renewable power generation. With our existing coal and nuclear plants this is not possible, because they take to long to start up or shut down. A smart-grid which can mainly balance itself is also not yet on hand. So we are building new combined cycle gas turbine plants, which are very efficient, very flexible and allow us to assure, that we can handle the big amount of renewables in our energy mix.
Second, a lot of old base-load coal power plants are scheduled for retiring. Also, we shut down all our older nuclear plants, and we will phase out the remaining plants in the next 10 years. Therefore, a huge gap has to be filled, and we can't fill that up completely with renewables as fast as we would need, so we are *replacing* *some* of our oldest and dirtiest existing coal plants with more efficient and cleaner newer ones or with flexible gas plants as described above.
Altogether, the fraction of fossil fuel power generation will not rise and instead renewables in our energy mix will increase drastically over the coming years, and that is the whole point of the story, or not? So nothing is greenwashed here. In 20 years we will already have around 50% of our electricity coming from renewables, starting from less than 10% just 10 years ago. So I am very optimistic, that we will achieve to be powered mostly by renewables until the mid-century.
But the difference in Germany is, that it doesn't matter if this term will be Merkel's last term and if the center-left parties will take over in 2 years, because in Germany there is consensus throughout all politicial parties and in the general population about the need to drastically build up renewable energies.
Well, that was not very difficult for Norway, given the ideal topography of the country for hydropower. But this is not a possible way for most other countries, because they simply don't have the topography for such a huge amount of hydropower. Only some countries like Switzerland, Austria and Sweden have a notable amount of hydropower.
But those are all small countries with an execeptional topography. The big european countries like Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Poland, the UK or the Netherlands can't do that. They have to use mainly wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other renewables, depending on their geographic and climatic conditions.
But this is not in any way comparable with climate denial in the US. Even in the FDP the mainstream opinion is that we must develope renewables and limit our CO2 emissions because of global warming. And also in the media and all other political parties climate denial plays no significant role in Germany. Of course their are some small groups of deniers which are trying to do the same like their US counterparts, but with no success. They have no influence and no media coverage and mainly the get only smiled at them.
In the US in contrast you have a powerful denial machine with a huge influence on actual politics and public opinion. This is in no way comparable with the situation in Germany.
And comparing the german FDP (Liberal Party) to the right-wing Tea Party is even more weird, because the FDP is a non-right-wing, secular and science-friendly party. The only thing those two have in common is a strong market-orientation, but apart from that, they are diametrically opposed in nearly all things.
As one living in Germany, I can fully agree.

Jelly (Jello) Slice (Bar)
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 0 mins
A request for condensed milk recipes made me wonder if this was on here. I can't find it, so I'm posting it. It's a real old Aussie (and probably New Zealand) favourite, and is easy to make. I love it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 250 g plain sweet biscuits (cookies)
- 185 g butter, melted
- 400 g sweetened condensed milk
- 2 lemons, juice of
- 9.85 ml unflavored gelatin
- 177.44 ml water (dissolve gelatin in this)
- 85 g Jello gelatin (jelly)
- 236.59 ml boiling water
- 236.59 ml cold water
- Combine crushed biscuits and butter mixing well; press into greased 30cm X 23cm (12" X 9") pan and refrigerate.
- Combine condensed milk, lemon juice and gelatin mix.
- Mix well and pour over prepared base; refrigerate 2 hours.
- Mix jelly powder and boiling water together, then add cold water.
- Refrigerate until consistency of unbeaten egg white, pour over lemon layer.
- Refrigerate, then cut into squares when set.
- *I prefer a red jelly for this, but any flavour would be OK.

I made this last night to go with our dinner. It is a good jello dessert that we all like very much. I used peach jello and while it isn't very colorful, the taste of great. I served this with a fresh peach slice on top. Thank you for sharing.
This is one of those sweets that reminds you of when you were a kid. love it! Just personally i don't like mine too lemon-y so i just cut it down to 1 larger lemon.
This turned out great for me and reminded me of being a kid again! I had to add a little more buter to the base as i don't have a food processor to get the biscuits really crumby, but apart from that it was perfect, just like my mum used to make it! Thanks

2008 Aflac All American Game Notes - Day 2
All American Game
: : Story
Perfect Game Staff
Thursday, August 07, 2008
Los Angeles, CA
Aug 7
Day II Aflac All American Game
Over the past five years the day before game day the players participate in a scrimmage. Once in awhile something out of the ordinary happens during these scrimmages. Last year, Aflac East 3B Ethan Martin was sent to the mound. We had seen Ethan pitch before and knew that he had some serious arm strength. Well, he pitched in that scrimmage, but he was extremely wild. He did throw up to 94, but really looked much more like the position prospect/hitter that he was at that time. What was most interesting was when we later found out that Ethan was pitching with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. When we asked Ethan why he agreed to pitch, he simply said, "you asked me to pitch so I did". Those few words spoke volumes about Ethan Martin and this June he became the Dodgers first round pick… as a pitcher!
This year's scrimmage was dominated early on by the pitching. Here are some of the highlights from that game.
West Team
Scott Griggs (CA) threw in the low 90s and breazed through his inning, showing a good 3 pitch mix.
Brooks Pounders (CA) gave up a leadoff walk and then retired the next three hitters, throwing 91 mph.
Matt Davidson 3B prospect (CA), pitched 1.2 innings in the upper 80s.
Jiovanni Mier SS prospect (CA) threw two effective innings mixing an 89 mph fastball and excellent changeup.
The West hitters were either hitless or got one infield hit, by Max Stassi (CA) depending on whose score sheet you went by.
Several of the top pitching prospects in the country are on the west roster, but most did not throw in the scrimmage. That includes, Matt Purke (TX), Jacob Turner (MO) and Tyler Matzek (CA). All had thrown recently and were rested for Saturdays game.
East Team
We mentioned it might have been a no hitter by the seven East Pitchers.
Michael Heller (FL) retired the West in order with a low 90s fastball and a good breaking ball.
Chris Jenkins (NJ) walked the leadoff hitter and then retired the next three. He was up to 93 and consistently threw in the 90s.
Ethan Carter (VA) didn't show his best velocity, but struckout one while retiring the East in order.
Daniel Tuttle (NC) walked one and struckout two in his inning. He was up to 91 and showed a very sharp breaking ball.
Keyvius Sampson (FL) didn't reach his best velocity but still threw 90-91 with an outstanding changeup and good breaking ball, striking out two in a perfect inning.
Michael Givens (FL) showed a 92-94 fastball with life in his inning of work.
Austin Maddox (FL) threw 90 in the last inning.
All these guys figure to throw harder on Saturday's nationally televised game.
The East won the scrimmage 7-1 by scoring all seven runs in the third inning.
Jason Thompson (TN), Givens, Brian Goodwin (NC), Richie Shaffer (NC), Maddox and Donavan Tate (GA) all had one hit each for the East team.
Note: Hometown Aflac All American Beau Wright a very talented LHP was hit in the head with a line drive the day before Aflac players reported. He spent a day in the hospital and was told not to play for a couple weeks. After being released from the hospital, Beau headed right to Aflac practice and then went with the teams to visit the Children's Hospital in LA. One day a patient, the next day spending time to visit some very ill kids and trying to brighten their day. Beau can't play in the game, but he is a true Aflac All American in every way!
The Aflac players went to visit Universal Studios after practice today, while we watched some of the countries best underclassmen perform at the PG Aflac Showcase in the afternoon. More on that group later on.
Tomorrow includes working out and the first round of the Home Run Derby. Then tomorrow evening the Aflac Awards banquet takes place. The banquet only falls behind the game in interest and in some cases it is even more important than the game itself. The Jackie Robinson Award representing the top high school baseball player in America is presented at the banquet.
After tomorrow's HR Derby there will be a scouts and college coaches reception and lunch at USC. Wonder what is in the gift bags this year? We usually get our hands on one, some how.
Then the PG Aflac group of top underclassmen will play their game in the afternoon.

pitcher of Sarraceniaceae is predator of Insecta
Evolution and Systematics
Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
The leaves of marsh pitchers guide insects into a water trap via long, slippery hairs.
"The marsh pitcher's trap is a very simple one. Its foot-long leaves are curled lengthwise and joined at the margin to form a tall vertical tube. At the top, the tip of the midrib flares into a reddish-rimmed hood that carries a great number of nectar-producing glands. The abundant rains keep these trumpets filled with water. If they were topped up to the very brim, they might be so heavy that they would be in danger of bursting, or at any rate, toppling over. But this does not happen. The seam joining the margins of the leaf is not fastened along its entire length. It stops an inch or so below the upper rim and the resultant vertical slit acts as a safety overflow. One species has a ring of small holes encircling the tube a little below the upper margin and these too act as overflows if the water level gets too high.
"Flies and mosquitoes, attracted by the sweet fragrance of the nectar, alight on the hood. As they explore the plant in search of more nectar, they tend to move down into the tube. But this is covered with long, slippery, downward-pointing hairs. Losing their grip, the insects slip downwards. That worsens their situation, for they descend to a section of the tube where the walls have no hairs at all but are smooth and waxy. Down they slide until they tumble into the water. Unable to get any purchase on the surrounding walls, they drown. Bacterial decay then dissolves the tiny corpses and the marsh pitcher absorbs the resulting soup." (Attenborough 1995:74)

The Sarraceniaceae are a family of pitcher plants, belonging to order Ericales (previously Nepenthales).
The family comprises three extant genera: Sarracenia (North American pitcher plants), Darlingtonia (the cobra lily or California pitcher plant), and Heliamphora (sun pitchers).[1][2] The extinct Archaeamphora longicervia may also belong to this family.[3] The first two are native to North America while Heliamphora is native to South America. All three are carnivorous plants that lure insects with nectar and use their elongated, tube-shaped leaves filled with water and digestive enzymes (or bacteria in the case of Darlingtonia) to catch and consume them. Many species also use downward-pointing hairs and waxy secretions to make it difficult for insects to escape.
These plants grow in nutrient-poor, often acidic soil and use the insects as a nutritional supplement. The pitchers originate from a rhizome and die back during the winter dormancy. Plants of the genus Sarracenia occur mostly in Sphagnum bogs.
Most Sarraceniaceae have tall, narrow pitchers that are vertical or nearly so. Sarracenia purpurea, however, has short, squat, bulbous pitchers close to the ground, and Sarracenia psittacina has pitchers that grow horizontally.
The purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is the official flower of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The old palazzo is crumbling and grand, Miss Havisham-style, and the exhibition of painting, sculpture, video, photograhy, shrunken heads, devotional objects, corals and minerals, scientific devices, installations, and many, many other, well, things, spans the building's four floors.
Each floor is quite different in architecture and light, and the exhibition has a different character on each floor. The mashing up of all that artistic, scientific, and religious material—stuff, for lack of a better word—sounds tedious, like it would level everything to the blank relativism of anthropological looking, but instead it is absolutely, absolutely magical.
More on it on Monday morning, but for now, this Friday afternoon, I'll just leave you with an intro to the show's hundreds and hundreds of lasting images.

Network conflict is really an interesting concept. The RAND Corporation, though they be all about the military complex, have a book that explores the concept and how it can be used not only in military campaigns, but protests, such as the Free Burma campaign or the WTO riots in Seattle.
No, the network lovers were right. They did lead to swift military victories that minimized civilian casualties and the number of troops required to conquer a country. What they didn't do was transform the needs of an occupying force. If our goal is to destroy an opposing military, we are set. It's just everything that comes after that's still hard.
off topic:
Thank you for mentioning the wonderful poet Anthony Hecht, a fellow sufferer in the tradition of stridency.
Gital is absolutely correct.
Much as we all love to tease our idiot president for declaring victory several years ago, he was actually right. We did win the initial war, quite quickly, decisively, and easily. We marched our army right to Baghdad with minimal casualties in less than 2 weeks. That part of the war went spectacularly. And all that high tech gear and networking were a big part of it.
The problem is that we are still calling it a war. We are not at war any longer. We won years ago. We are now occupying a country that largely doesn't want us. That's where it all falls apart. All our high tech gear and networking is of limited usefulness in an occupation.
Networking can be a very effective tool on the battlefield when fighting a large army. It has very little use when occupying a hostile country after the invasion has been won.

Kerry Cohen has written twotwowhole memoirs about what a promiscuous, out-of-control cock-hound she used to be: Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity and Easy. I haven't read either of them, and neither have the ladies at Jezebel, who say they prefer "learning by doing."
Like the ladies at Jezebel, I know a slut when I see oneand this Cohen woman? She's no slut. Cohen is 37 and says she has slept with "forty-odd men," according to an interview she did with women's mag Marie Claire ("Confessions of a Sex Addict"). I don't have the time, energy, or anti-nausea meds to wade through Cohen's personal website, but presuming she became sexually active when most of us doaround age 16her forty-odd sex partners works out to fewer than two dudes a year.
Um… that's not promiscuity, Kerry, that's serial monogamy. Please make a note of it.
More at Jezebel.

It is one of the historical models of the range and it deeply embodies the philosophy of the shipyard: to match in one boat power and speed, comfort and performances, elegance and style. Its a big open and its long bow deck combine the charm of sport boats with the elegance of the Sarnico creations. Its line is timeless, its brightness is changeless by the time, as it is realised with high quality materials and methods which ensure long life, equal to the other models. The variable V hull and the dihedral angle at bow, are examples of perfection. The boat navigates in every sea condition thanks to its extraordinary stability and great comfort. Its the best expression of safety, speed and reliability with its traditional shaft line. The layout counts three huge cabins with en-suite bathroom luxuriously and skilfully fitted with a combination of woods, precious laquer and fabrics.

Excellent cobbler. I used frozen berries that we picked this past summer. Made a great and easy dessert. Thanks.
This is SO quick and easy to make with outstanding results!! I used fresh black berries. My guests went back for 2nds! This is an OUTSTANDING recipe that eveyone MUST try!!!
One word. YUM!

I am using the following code here:
function toggle_visibility(id, h4id)
var e = $("#" + id);
var h = $("#" + h4id);
h.css({'padding': '0 0 0 20px'});
e.animate({height: 'toggle'}, 400, function(){
var vImg = e.is(':visible') ? 'minus' : 'plus';
h.css({'background-image': 'url(/images/' + vImg + '.png)'});
If you take a look at this page here: http://opportunityfinance.net/industry/ Works fine
If you take a look at this page here: http://opportunityfinance.net/consulting/default.aspx?id=6474 It's really jumpy animation. It jumps when you click it to slide down and when you click it to slide up.
I'm trying to determine the difference between the 2 pages that could be causing this, and can't seem to understand why it doesn't slide down or up without the jumps on the 2nd page.
How can I fix this? Been reading several questions and answers already here at SO with no luck.
Thanks guys, let me know if you need more info on this.

About SayNoToTea
The tea party is is made up of puppets being run by an elite group to serve their needs and not the needs of the people
By: SayNoToTea , 10:01 PM GMT on June 05, 2012
Excuse me for a minute while I air my dirty laundry, OK, so it will be two minutes. I get quite a few e-mails. Some support my view, some dissent upon which I have had some interesting discussions and others are just typical cyber bullies who somehow believe their keyboard and the internet gives them supernatural powers where they can defeat all foes. Sadly these manic delusions are wasted on the writer as I do not reply, although this one time I believe I will, but not behind an e-mail. I'll air my thoughts and opinions publicly.
You might remember Nash, he posted here time and again, chastising and berating all of us for taking a stance as he claims all sides, right, left centrist and moderate are all corrupt. I found it amusing as my blog was the only one he posted his little tantrums in and in fact in some right wing blogs he was all in agreeance with their views. I've mentioned him a time or two and have been mightily surprised by the e-mails I have received. it would seem that Mr Nash is not liked amongst his blogging peers.
Here are some excepts;
Nash has claimed to have received an invite from the University of Miami to study meteorology to which the letter writer claimed a call to the school denied that they have done that for anyone.
Nash claimed to be entering the Navy Reserves to which after his basic training he would be heading to meteorology school, which the Navy does not offer to reservists.
Nash is claimed to have had a torrid internet affair with a respected WU married blogger to which I will not reveal her name as she's never threatened me. It amazed me though that the letters were forwarded over and over and I'm sure a few readers will know of what I am referring about and I ask you to show the same respect and not comment as to her name.
Nash claimed to be running for a seat on the US Senate in 2010 and that proved to be utterly false.
So here's the latest e-mail and I guess I'm supposed to be shaking in my chair right now.

Hi all!
Yes I'm a newbie. My idea was to load an image widget to the right of the logo in the header. It is where I will be putting announcements having to do with the facility. I figured out how to install the widget and then load the original image into it.
My problem now is I want to swap out the original image and post a new announcement image into the widget while the site is live. I went into wp-admin under Appearance>Widgets and swapped out the image in the appropriate header image widget and replaced it with the new image. I clicked save and thought I was done.
When I went to the site http://www.wrgym.com, on several pages the original header widget image is still there. However on one of the pages About Us>Our Coaches & Staff the new image appears in the header widget image area.
I'm just plain confused I thought this would be a simple way to do it. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or not doing properly.

News Sprawl and Isolation
People are lonelier than ever, a new report, titled "Social Isolation in America," finds, with fewer close friends (two, on average) and confidants on "important matters" (none, according to one in four) than ever before.
Sightline's Eric de Place has an interesting theory about why: low-density suburban sprawl, which de Place says "is correlated with (and probably causes) a significant degree of social isolation and fragmentation. And that lonliness has measurable impacts not only on mental health, but on physical health too."
Check out le Place's post, including links to the report and studies linking sprawl and isolation, here.

text: Posted May 21, 2013 Now I briefly mentioned this before and it's not know exactly how the mandatory install and used game fee will work. Right now though, it's tied to the HD and xbox live accounts, so other xbox live accounts on the same system will recognize the game as used, unless their is a work around for that particular issue. Ouch.. So you couldn't even borrow a friends game. That's brutal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Released: May 01st, 2003
Running Time: 100
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
Distribution Companies: Ultimate
Cast: Chris Cannon, Sondra Hall, Mary Carey, Lezley Zen, Casey Pink, Crissy, Steven St. Croix, Anthony Hardwood, Manuel Ferrara, Randy Spears, Jake (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
A solid couples offering.
This porno remake of Practical Magic stars Sondra Hall as the good sister and Lezley Zen as the bad sister. They inherit their grandmother's spell book, her house, and her troubles with the IRS. Zen starts cooking up some love potions to slip into bank officers' tea and peddle to the neighbors. She also schemes to get her sister in bed with the family accountant, Randy Spears.
Shot in high-definition digital, the video certainly looks sumptuous, from the performers to the sets. Plot-wise, it peters out about halfway through. And alas, sometimes the camera angles are too obviously set up to accommodate the hotel edit. But it's still a solid couples' choice - especially for the decadent opener with Zen emerging from a harem-like bath to play with her boy toys Manuel Ferrara and Anthony Hardwood.
