But it depends on the policies we implement. Germany is well on the way to showing what can be done if the political will actually exists. I think the point of the OP is very valuable as it contradicts yet another false claim of the entrenched energy interests, that going green is expensive. When all is said and done the transition to renewables is positive in every category.
