Also, it's easy to claim any number of factors as "the reason" why Europe is having a tough time of it. They got hit in 2008 like everybody else, and since then, as America's economy has ALSO struggled, I've heard it blamed on energy policy, social policy, drought, refugees from Africa, austerity, and probably one or two other things that I'm not recalling right now. Some countries are struggling more than we are, some seem to be struggling LESS (compared to where they were before the crash - let's not forget that some countries haven't had "strong economies" for decades if not more), and whether or not they're pushing renewable energy seems to have little to do with it.
