France is killing solar, suspends subsidy by no longer paying exta, higher money for solar generated electricity Spain did this when Spain could no longer afford the same type of paying exta, higher money for solar generated electricity. Germany still does and still can afford paying exta, higher money for solar generated electricity. ============================================= EDF Freezes Half of Planned Solar Projects, Figaro Says Jul 11, 2011 Electricité de France SA has stopped work on about half of the new solar-energy generating projects it had planned, Le Figaro reported. An unidentified EDF spokesman described the projects as no longer economical because the government was suspending preferential tariffs for solar-generated electricity, the newspaper said. EDF has frozen construction of about 800 megawatts out of a planned 1,600 megawatts in solar generating capacity because the work could not be completed within 18 months, Le Figaro said. www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-12/edf-freezes-half-of-planned-solar-projects-figaro-says.html

Germany decided to subsidize small solar about 20 years ago, rather than subsidize more nuke plants.
