Not only are Germany solar power plants producing a world record amount of electricity – equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity – now, the village of Wildpoldsried is producing 321% more energy than it needs.
As of August, 2011, the small farming village in Bavaria was actually earning $5.7 million in annual revenue from its investments in renewable energy — 7 windmills, 190 buildings with solar panels, 4 biodigestors — and they did it all without going into debt.
This is inspiring!
