        .@paulg very transitory. 1 day >75% doesn't mean anything like 65% most days. Not as big a deal as it's spun, alaspic.twitter.com/5DRDJpIGPD

        @amcrae The stat is for a single day, driven in part by favorable weather. It also says the yearly number was 27.8%. Significant imo. @paulg

        @paulg @ZeeshanAleem still a long way to go though. Since we're falling in competing with america when it comes to building tech companies.

        @alexott_en @paulg you might want to factor in consumption energy cost 2x but average German flat smaller that the average American fridge

        @hungryblank @paulg private households pay for all these renewables - I pay more than my US friends for smaller flat
