As far as Germany being able to produce renewable energy at a
competitive price, they already do it.

A) yes, B) not so much...it's pretty heavily subsidized.

Much of it using equipment built by an in-house outfit by the name of
Siemens.

They (Siemens) also have a facility in KS building for the US market

Problem still is that wind doesn't blow 100% of time either here or in
Germany. Baseload is still an issue.
