Bloomberg - Germany Proves Life With Less Fossil Fuel Getting Easier

Bloomberg - Germany Proves Life With Less Fossil Fuel Getting Easier

Germany is investing strong on developing management knowhow, technology and smart grid knowhow that will pay in the future. To understand how to manage energy sources with high level of variations in short time is key to develop the right renewable technology.
Clearly we are seeing in the energy sector what we saw in the telco technology with the introduction of IP networks and internet. The critics used to say IP networks would never have sucess has it was based on best effort and did not have the throughput guarantee of, let's say, ATM or TDM networks. Well history proved them wrong.
