Henryk Broder And ARD Public Television Expose, Ridicule German Climate Fanaticism
German flagship ARD public television broadcast a half hour show that was actually fully devoted to poking fun at the now religious climate movement in Germany.

What the internet has proved in these debates, time and again – from Glaciergate to Amazongate to Polarbeargate – is that when the rebellious amateurs of the sceptical blogosphere go head to head with the climate establishment, the bloggers always win. Not as a result of invective or snarkiness or any of the other things that bloggers also do quite well: but on the actual hard science and raw evidence. Look at almost any tussle between, say, WUWT on the one side, RealClimate on the other, and you'll notice that when it finally boils down to the irreducible truth, the side that emerges triumphant is the sceptical one, not the alarmist one. It's partly because the facts are on our side (so we jolly well ought to win if we're doing our job even remotely properly), but also because, being the underfunded underdogs, we've been forced to raise our game to a higher standard than that of our rather complacent, smug opposition.

The SolarStrong project is nothing like Solyndra. Solarcity has a proven business model and has been able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in private capital for other previous projects. It also uses technologies that are cost-competitive and trustworthy. It’s a completely different beast.

If that’s the case, why would they need a loan guarantee?
