Don't get me wrong - I'm not advocating strict libertarianism here. I'd say that Germany's model makes sense, as you present it. It's trying to grow its economy by making strides in alternative energy. It's the people who argue that we need to cripple economic growth in order to beat global warming that I disagree with.

However, a permanent solution is likely going to come from a university laboratory and not from the private sector.
