    questions I'd like to ask: 1. How many Germans were actually inside using power during these 'midday' hours?  Especially as Germans are renowned for their outdoor lifestyle/culture 2. Would this still be the case if it was a sunny winter's day? 3. If it's equivalent to 20 nuclear power stations, how come only half the country could run on it?...is it because is was only for a short period of time? 4. How can other countries engender this attitude towards the use of alternative energies?
