> Bavaria has forests, but not the Black Forest. The Black Forest is in Baden Württemberg.

Brain fart moment, I guess you're right. But Bavaria still has plentiful forests for the argument to be valid.

> This is just a factually wrong statement. Solar does make sense ans the business case is just getting stronger with the falling panel and storage costs.

The business case is getting stronger because of a self-inflicted wound. You guys have ballooning energy costs in Germany by sole virtue of your own policies, even though you had the panacea to those issues earlier. It's like handling a toothache with clove oil and herbs when you should be getting a root canal, even though you're rich enough to afford that.

I for one would love to see German heavy industry run on solar power. Even the cost justification won't make sense and you know that.
