Default Old article, good news

I came across this article today and thought I'd share. It is a year and a half old now, but still shows that clean renewable power power is totally doable and actually quite viable and there are people actually doing it on a very large scale.

German solar power output up 60 pct in 2011

Quote:
German solar power producers raised electricity output in 2011 by 60 percent over 2010 to 18 billion kilowatt hours, grabbing more than 3 percent of total power output volumes, its lobby group Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW) said on Thursday.

The sector already produced enough power to supply some 5.1 million households, one eighth of all households or the entire state of Thuriniga, BSW said.

...

So-called green power in 2011 captured 19.9 percent of the power mix, compared with 16.4 percent in 2010, it said in preliminary data earlier this month, without giving production totals.
