They left out the costs of drilling, refining and transporting gasoline in the equation.

Could be faster, yes. But at least the trends are favorable.

Quite often where there is money to be made, corruption will be present.

thanks, putin

on a personal note, since moving to switzerland my own energiewende is complete now. having bought clean power already on the common energy market in germany, i now only use power generated on the roofs of my condo complex and hydro power from the plant behind the village, powered by mountain water. my heating comes also from the same power source (electric heated floor via heat pumps), have been #carfree since 2001 and i move around only with my bikes or the great swiss public transport network. 

choose a power source and be a dick about it :D
