Country of Green Energy
1. Solar power
According to news, in July,2013 German solar power plants broke the record for the production of electricity. German solar power plants produced 22 gigawatts of electircity per hour! This achievement is so amazing that Germany absolutely excels at developing solar power. Take a look at the picture below. This picture shows us the world's largest photovoltaic solar park near the city of Senftenberg.

Nowadays, there are approximately 20,000 wind power plants in Germany, and these plants provide some 5 percent of electricity in Germany. What's more, German wind power plants not only provide German electricity, but also sell electricity to other countries. In 2012, German wind power industries earned about 6.3 billion Euro! We can easily understand why Germany can make wind power a good by pic.2 below.

Just as I mentioned in previous posts, money is always an obstacle to the development of green energy. That is to say, the cost of developing green energy is often enormous so that few countries are willing to invest in green energy. Although Germany's ratio of green energy is the highest in the world, German government did face challenges. Since the cost of green energy is higher than that of fossil fuel or nuclear power, if German government wants to replace traditional energy with green energy, the cost of electricity must be raised. It is estimated that the elecricity price in Germany is four time that of Taiwan. The price is so high that lots of German people oppose the development of green energy.
