    You might want to look up who the host is. There is bias plus in that
    video. When he started on Europe's economy compared to the US, he swept straight into rightwing bias making Murdoch press look middle of the
    road. A clue, Most of Europe hasn't effective wind power nor does it
    have effective solar - bit far north, What's more, countries like
    Germany don't have oil and gas hence the pipelines from Russia. Germany
    has coal but it's pretty shitful. No wonder energy costs 3-4 times more
    than the US. Example, in the US shale oil areas, they give the gas away
    for free because it is a byproduct and there are insufficient facilities nearby the fields to make the gas a *paying proposition*.

    Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

    spot on
    Its a disgrace,They ignored an electronics expert with a university
    degree when they adopted solar as an energy source

    I am experimenting in my own lab with the juck they left behind,like it
    should of contextually been used

    Using solar panels to power a mobile phone that serves a business web
    page or eCommerce online store instead of using a power guzzling data
    center
