クリーンエネルギー振興政策の結果、環境が悪化するという事例が出ている
By Danny Huizinga
When words like "clean energy" are used, it seems as if objective evaluation
and critical thinking fall by the wayside. In the same 2009 State of the
Union address Obama claimed, "We invented solar technology, but we've fallen
behind countries like Germany and Japan in producing it."
オバマ大統領はソーラ発電などで米国が日本やドイツに遅れていると年頭教書演説
で述べたが
But those countries are disastrous models for energy policy. In Japan,
generators of renewable energy are paid almost four times the consumer
average in the United States, National Geographic reports.
日本の再生可能エネルギーの発電コストは米国の消費者の支払う料金の4倍である
Spiegel Online reported last month that German consumers are paying twice
as much for electricity as they did in 2000. Two-thirds of the price
increase is due to the more than 4,000 government energy subsidies the
country has implemented.
ドイツのシュピーゲルの記事によればドイツの消費者の支払う電力う料金は2000
年に比べて2倍になっていて、その理由は再生可能エネルギーのコストである
Even worse, the policies aren't saving the environment. Because of
inconsistent wind and the inherent inefficiencies of renewable energy
sources, Spiegel reports that Germany ended up releasing more CO2 into
the atmosphere in 2012 than in 2011.
更に悪いことに、ドイツは再生可能エネルギーの振興政策の結果(補完的な石炭
火力発電などによって)2012年のCo2排出量が2011年に比べて悪化している(後略)
German citizens are forced to pay the highest electricity prices in
Europe to make the environment worse, and this is the President's
idea of a model country?(ry
