Germany puts its energy in windmills

As I drove a diesel car along the winding rural roads of southern Germany recently, I thought about two things.

One, how beautiful the scenery was. And two, that I was paying the equivalent of $5.50 per gallon for the diesel fuel I was burning in this small Ford station wagon. Gasoline costs even more, upwards of $6 per gallon after liters are converted to gallons and Euros to dollars.

It’s hard not to think about the cost of energy in Germany.
