As opposed to Ontario that bending you over, no lubricant and not even the courtesy of buying you a beer first.

Those battery units, the ones with the air vents, will be needing some major refurb after that sand storm

Ok, so if that's true why is Germany going back to coal fired plants for electricity. Oh, I know - it's to send it elsewhere I guess LOL.


Yeah, right!

Correction: Global warming is fake, because, well, it's just fake.

You don't drive a Tesla because in your heart of hearts, you also don't believe in global warming, climate change, etc therefore, why buy a Tesla?

Driving a Tesla would also require a good paying job to cover the up front cost and maintenance. Easier to take the bus that someone with a real job pays for.

How's that for a subsidy?


Germany energy consumers paid to use power over Christmas as supply outstrips demand

German energy consumers were paid to use power over the Christmas period, thanks to a slump in demand, warm weather and plenty of wind power on the grid, trading data shows.

Power prices slipped into negative territory on 24 December and again on 26 December, according to the website of the EPEX Spot, which is Europe’s biggest power trading exchange.

Germany’s massive investment in renewable energy – partially thanks to the introduction of the 2014 Renewable Energy Act – has in recent years triggered a drop below zero on several occasions.

Demand for energy has particularly been outstripped by supply on weekends this year, when factories across the country tend to power down and many offices are closed.

On Christmas Eve, factory owners and other big consumers were at times paid in excess of €50, or around £44, per megawatt-hour, according to The New York Times.

During the first half of 2017, Germany managed to raise the proportion of the power it produced by renewable energy to 35 per cent, from 33 per cent in 2016, according to figures from the BEE renewable energy association cited by Reuters.

On some days, Germany now gets up to 85 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources.

In a further sign of its commitment to green energy, the country’s government has pledged to move to a decarbonised economy by the middle of the century and has set a target of 80 per cent renewables for gross power consumption by 2050.

It also aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent in 2020 from 1990 levels and by 95 per cent by 2050.

Why pay people to use it when it could just lower the price?
