    Not completely unclear. Renewable energy can be even more local than nuclear plants. A good grid is a valueable tool, but not the only solution. The zero-energy-house is a working …

    A couple of years ago there was a study about what this kind of insurance would cost: about 72 billion Euro per year. > The study proves for the first time the years of market dist…
