Germany remains the best disproof of claims that highly industrialized countries, let alone cold and cloudy ones, can do little with renewables. Germany has doubled the renewable share of its total electricity consumption in the past six years to 23% in 2012. It forecasts nearly a redoubling by 2025, well ahead of the 50% target for 2030, and closing in on official goals of 65% in 2040 and 80% in 2050. Some areas are moving faster: in 2010, four German states were 43–52% windpowered for the whole year. Skeptics said the abrupt shutdown of 41% of nuclear output post-Fukushima would make the lights go out, the economy crash, carbon emissions and electricity prices soar, and Germany need to import nuclear power from France. <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>But none of that happened.</span></em></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:green'>☼ </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><a href="http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=c975f4514e&e=45743fde61"><span style='color:green'>Is Renewable Energy's Biggest Problem Solved?</span></a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'> German researchers have found a way to overcome one of the problems with renewable energy -- the fact that it is not always available -- by linking different options in a unified system.<br> </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><br></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:green'>☼ </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><a href="http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=2792aee805&e=45743fde61"><span style='color:green'>Solar panels could destroy U.S. utilities, according to U.S. utilities</span></a><br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:green'>☼ </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'><a href="http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=87af2f0ca8&e=45743fde61"><span style='color:green'>How to Power the World without Fossil Fuels</span></a></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:green'> </span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#505050'>Mark Jacobson says he can run the planet solely on wind, water and solar energy.
