Germany Opens Huge Solar Installation

The Germans, having done the kind of 180 I dream of here in America (OK, we're not that bad, but still...), are putting up loads of renewable power sources all over the country. Just recently, they opened the largest solar power installation in the world, in Bavaria. They've also implemented heavier taxes on petroleum products to help encourage a switch to greener power sources. The installation was built by an American company, PowerLight. Thankfully Germany and other forward-thinking countries are keeping companies like this afloat, so we'll have them around when we realize it's not just a good idea, but vitally necessary.
