ITS AMAZING to reflect that if germany had had almost anyone other than hitler in power after 1939, it would have won world war two, which is a frightening prospect. of course, with somebody other than hitler, world war two might never have happened.
german ingenuity is incredible. from the invention of chemistry and physics in the nineteenth century, hitler's weapons of war, automobiles and industry, german ingenuity is iconic, as has never been more in evidence than right now.
germany has wind farms, huge windmills with twenty two ton blades, lined up along the north coast of germany, near the north sea, where the cold wind blows. they are now beginning work on an electronic infrastructure to transmitt the huge amount of new electricity across the country.
a few weeks ago germany set a world record by running the entire country mostly on solar energy for an entire day. an incredible, wonderful display of energy sustainability, 'twas. The germans are phasing out nuclear energy, entirely, over the next ten years. Events in america, (three mile island, 1979), chernobyl, and the recent meltdown in japan were enough to inspire german abandoning of nuclear energy.
Similarly, germany is moving away from natural gas, coal, and oil, the big three non renewable fossil fuel climate changing global warming planet killing energy to which the world is so tragically addicted, currently. In germany, the will of the people takes precedence over the profit motive of the fossil fuel industry, which is do deeply entrenched politically in america.
Quick review: Germany, a great nation, is moving away from nuclear, natural gas, coal, and oil, and directly towards solar and wind. And of all the totally cool things germany has done, this has got to be the coolest.
Americans, let's do likewise! Let's do likewise all over the world, and organize a world united to save this beautiful but fragile planet, united in the common cause of prosperous, happy futures for our great great grand children, all of us united like the sisters and brothers that we truly all are.
