every for of energie gets subventions, but renewables are the only that get their subventions in a oen and clear way, not like nuclear, were we just get the bill after some years, or coal were its not only direct subventions, but also free co2 certificates and problematic use of police and other lawenforcing units to deport people from their land because coal is more important than people.

Yes, obviously. We are still very much in a development phase for renewable energy, and we still have long ways to go before we have reached the full potential of many different technologies, ranging from wind to tidal. However, as technology gets improved, and it's taken more widely into use, prices will go down, that's pretty basic economics.

I heard that so many times :D So guys, when that glorious day will come finally? It's not like there's a lot of time left...

...primary energy consumption -- expectedly down (millions of toe):

Green = EU28, brown = Germany, blue = Denmark -- all peaked in 2006, notice the rollercoaster ride of 2008-2010.

At the same time the share of renewables in gross final consumption is up, up, up to 15% (!) currently, while nuclear is down, down, down.
