Resistance is not futile. But you have to actually resist.

predicts that the renewable energy surcharge added to every consumer's electricity bill will increase from 5.3 cents today to between 6.2 and 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour

The article makes no mention of just what they are now, but in 2010 they were 30 cents per KWH. Add in the rate increases and it goes over $0.36 per KWH.

We pay $0.117 in rural CO, an outrageous price already.

Without the environazi’s ( and there are a few Freeper enviro-nazis too, you know who you are) it would be half, or about 5 cents per KWH.

Germany's rates, 3x ours, is where the environazi's (including the Freepers aforementioned) are taking all of us.

Mentally, triple your electric bill, see where that gets you.

Of course its coming here.

Obama made that clear way back in 2008.

Why don’t the voters turn these wind/solar power whacko politicians out?? You know, why don’t they vote with their.....vote?

Recently saw a picture of a German wind farm with 30 plus or minus wind turbines within sight of a nuclear plant. It made me wonder if the turbines were there to replace the nuclear plant or if the plant was maintained in order to have power after the turbines failed? Cost efficiency be damned, we go forward with the green agenda, but not without other sacrifices in our lives.

After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan two and a half years ago, Merkel quickly decided to begin phasing out nuclear power and lead the country into the age of wind and solar.

More factually, Merkel quickly decided to react to the childish, breathless TV coverage of a plant failure which was caused by a once-in-a-generation typhoon and which resulted in exactly zero casualties by attacking her own nation's ability to produce energy.

It's not clear why she has not decided to phase out cars, surgery and swimming, which are all subject to fatal accidents and have actually managed to rack up a body count, unlike the dreaded Fukushima-palooza.

But now many Germans are realizing the coalition government of Merkel's CDU and the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) is unable to cope with this shift.

Why, have they run out of oil lamps and buggy whips?

On the other side of the equation homes constructed in the U.S. are designed to save electricity. And they could be without being horrible in cost or appearance.
