The attack on investment security, and the attempt to put decisions in the hands of the Bundeskabinett, have seriously affected the wind branch as well. Coming on the heels of the growing fight over grid interconnection, and who pays what, when, this FDP led attack is a double hit.

Allerdings, the wind industry is mobilizing at an astounding level. On grid interconnection, there is a high level working group established with all sectors including finance represented. They will report findings directly to the ministers.

But the attack on the EEG is not so easy to turn, coming from the government itself. As i've been writing the last days, this is where the opposition must go on the attack. SPD sleeps with too much shit in their bed, courtesy of the coal lobby. Greens have forgotten how to fight, so drunk on finding the path to the government.

If i could clone myself, i would make sure the Pirates understand that renewables are similar to net freedom in their place on the path to a sustainable future.

Actually, i'm very angry that so much positive from the past two decades is being undermined. No, i'm really pissed off.

That usually is when i fight best. I've already made a new argument to the PTB, (in addition to the conventional arguments we're buttressing), that Obama's attempt to get a permanent tax credit for renewables in amurka shows that they wish to retake the lead in technology and export. (well-received.)

If i ever meet Rösler, no matter where or when, i will take off my shoe and hold it to his face. (no, i won't throw it, but it will keep my hands busy, so i don't punch the weaselly little ... ( here i can only say that my attorney has advised me that it is illegal in germany to call someone an asshole, but he did say i was allowed to think it.)
