false dichotomy
The problem with Nelder is he doesn't advocate "pay a little more for clean energy".
The problem with Nelder is he flat out lies and fabricates, or, as in this case, skips over the critical parts of the story.
The story in Germany is how they are moving back to the 19th century by slapping up coal plants. IF their renewable plans were so great, THEN they wouldn't be needing new coal plants, would they.
A more accurate assessment of Germany is that they are "greenwashing" their coal plants by trying to focus PR attention on their windmills and solar panels. Nelder not only goes along with this hook line and sinker, but he insults the reporters that are reporting the story correctly.
If Nelder would grow up a little and take the know-it-all snarkiness out of his posts (and more importantly, keep them factually correct), perhaps he wouldn't have a collection of debunkers following him around.
