If you answere "hydroelectric" them my answer is "great", but my next question is "where we going to put it"?
Factor in free healthcare, free college, and paid vacation for every German National, and your pricing argument pulls the pin on it's own grenade.
A higher standard of living than that of the USA is the unmentioned caveat in your calculus.
