Fox News explains why solar power works in Germany, but not here.

"In the words of the German Association of Physicists, “solar energy cannot replace any additional power plants.” On short, overcast winter days, Germany’s 1.1 million solar-power systems can generate no electricity at all. The country is then forced to import considerable amounts of electricity from nuclear power plants in France and the Czech Republic."

That would seem to support the point that the Fox contributor is attempting to make.

The article you posted doesn't address the subject of this thread. Also, what limitations exist in Germany relative to insolation don't apply in the US except in Alaska. We have much, much more available sunshine than they do overall.

And to say that the Fox reporter didn't "present her facts well" is absurd. She didn't present any facts at all.
