Yeah, what's not to like about a government intervention that diverts a huge portion of the world's PV resources to sunny, sunny Germany? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This program doesn't divert the resources. It creates a major new source of demand, which is answered by new a new supply in constructed units (more factories have to be built, of course and resources used...). By econimies of scale and incentives for new research this reduces the price of solar power world-wide.

So yeah, exactly. What's not to like?? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
