Now, the article you posted does suggest that Germany's relatively low level of insolation presents a problem for them when it comes to solar energy. That's not in dispute but for you to make the stretch that Germany's problems, with only about 38% as much sunshine as Michigan, means that solar will encounter the same problems here that it does there. It's simply not supported, or even suggested, by the facts.

We don't agree that it was a lie. A lie implies intent, and I don't think there's enough info to conclude that. I know some of you guys like to dump on Fox, and more power to you if that floats your boat.
The info that I used to suggest that solar isn't viable here in MI as anything more than a Small supplement to the grid comes from folks in the industry that I've spoken to. You can disagree with that all you wish, but I suspect they knew what they were talking about.
