George Monbiot's recent anti-micropower rant is seriously anti-green
Ignoring the fact that the FiT was enormously successful in Germany, which has become a European leader in micro-generation, “the only renewables policy that makes sense,” says George, “ is to build big installations where the energy is – which means high ground, estuaries or the open sea – and deliver it by wire to where people live.” Mr. However, people who have surplus energy from micro-generation can still feed to the grid in Germany, only no longer at highly subsidized rates. by Michael Smith (Veshengro) In early March 2010 everyone in British green circles, from the eco-warrior to the likes of RenewableUK, has been talking about George Monbiot; but then that is more or less the way he likes it. Monbiot's words were that Britain cannot afford renewable energy and should and must got for the nuclear option.

Germany & France claim recession over, for them
While the growth in both Germany and France are but modest and some idiots keep claiming that Britain is out of the recession as well this is no way the truth.

Germany braces for second wave of credit crunch
Germany's economics ministry is drawing up a raft of special measures with the Bundesbank to head off a fresh financial crisis, fearing that a loan squeeze by struggling banks will set off a serious credit crunch early next year. by Michael Smith (Veshengro) So! Right when the IMF and the British government are trying to tell us, a short while after Germany announced that they are coming out of the recession together with France, the Bundesbank, and they know what they are talking about, puts a rather big damper on things by announcing that things are going south again, more than likely.

Germany has run out of solar panels due to generous feed-in tariff
by Michael Smith (Veshengro) A burst of new business at the end of 2009 put Germany close to adding a record of solar power to the grid, according to the head of Germany’s BSW solar industry association, Carsten Koernig. It cannot be over 3 Gigawatt, simply because there is no more capacity than that available in the whole of Germany. German supplies of solar panels have completely sold out. He estimates that in this year, 2009 alone, it will be very close to 3 Gigawatt. While he is not sure what the final end-of-year number will be, he is sure of one fact. Demand
