Feed-in tariffs in Germany are degressive, which is a very important point. Otherwise they would also spur some innovation, of course, but would provide less incentive for it (and would greatly increase the immediate financial cost to society). I would be very surprised if it were different in Portugal.

I'd say that if there is a problem here, it is either a point of fine-tuning the policy, or of a fundamental problem with the technology, as you hint at. It is not a fundamental problem of the policy, which is excellent and should be taken over by every country (and the EU).

... thanks, always love learning a cool new word.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
