" I'm old-fashioned. I like two sexes! And another thing, all of a sudden I don't like being married to what is known as a 'new woman'. I want a wife, not a competitor. Competitor! Competitor!" - Spencer Tracy in 'Adam's Rib' (1949)

No, that's your projection, you show me evidence that the suggestion is that industry's objective is to kill people. I don't believe that, I suggested as much earlier but you weren't sharp enough to recognize that.
Your point, your burden of proof.
My point as was @del 's is that the objective of industry is to maximize shareholder profits, and if the cost of that profit maximization is at the expense of polluting and killing commoners, so be it.
Now, again - you tell me why my observation is inaccurate.

In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

You are correct, Germany has made great strides but they still get around 40% of their power from coal, and another chunk from Nuclear. The article you quote shows that at one point on one specific day, they produced enough power. But it is not sustainable at this point still. What they did is great, I am not taking anything away from it, heck they even export electricity because of it. We can do more but with every country you have different issues and different solutions. The German model will not work here as well, the vast area difference alone is a great challenge.
