I think the main point of the piece is just encouragement about the feasibility of cleaner power in the future. I would bet historically the prices for electricity in Germany have always been high. They never had much fossil fuel and they never had enough coal. The us has historically had a lot of fossil fuels and a lot of coal. The future is going to be different.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
