This is, by design, a short introduction to Germany's recent project to work towards ending nuclear energy in favor of renewable sources. There are a number of anecdotes and some basic explanation of how the idea has worked so far, but not a lot of detail. Most Americans have been led to be suspect of national projects to enhance alternate energy by a media that has been influenced by entrenched interests. Most readers will probably be surprised to hear how the project has not only been successful but has actually exceeded targets in some ways. It turns out that one of the key factors for success is a tendency to decentralize energy production and allow individuals and small communities to get involved. In any case, this Kindle Single is well worth the price for a quick and interesting read on something that will probably become more important over time.
