Portugal's population is 8x smaller than Germany, though, so the production is actually similar.

At the same time, Portugal does not pollute the environment as much with huge coal plants, and does not run any nuclear reactors. So Portugal has largely solved their energy problems, while Germany still has a long way to go.

The major problem for Germany (and France, England, US, and the large developing nations like India, Brazil and China) is the amount of energy consumed by large industries. This is the most important factor, since covering the electricity needs of an average home is pretty easy nowadays -- it's the huge factories which are difficult to run on renewables, at least at this moment.

Still, countries like Austria, Portugal, but also Sweden and Denmark, show that going renewable is a good direction. There are still huge obstacles to be overcome and the solutions will have to involve more responsible approach to energy.

sure . yes Germany need much more.

the renewable power plants already hit the cable transfer maximum this means we do not need more power plants right now. Germany need more cables and storage power plants.

The 20% in Germany is much more than the 75% in Portugal

in fact! Portugal 75% is a joke compared to Germanys 20%

well and he fails because: "deutschland deutschland über alles" only means Patriotism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotism

you don't have to be a nazi just because you sing a Patriot song...

also in the Deutschlandlied there are no bad text : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied

there is no word about killing people or be bad to people or hate jews or black people.

Well, that verse was thrown out of the national anthem and is banned.

Also, he linked to a Nazi propaganda video.
