  • Ugh, not Germany. Try the Netherlands. In Germany it is a huge bureaucratic undertaking to put energy back into the grid. In the Netherlands (as far as I know) your meter just runs backwards and at the end of the year you just pay the difference or nothing if it’s lower than the year before.

    In Germany your electricity provider pays you for what you put back into the grid. But not as much as pulling out is worth. That’s why almost all solar solutions in Germany are either small or need a battery because using the energy yourself is worth more than sharing it with everyone.














  • I think it’s how it is a b-movie that is actually good that makes it and other Tarantino movies so compelling. It is low budget fluff (or well, pulp) done on a high budget with more thought put into it than is incidentally apparent.

    This question reminded me of how the Swedish movie Slim Susie put it. It begins in a movie theatre where they’re watching Pulp Fiction but the movie stops at the half way point because the theatre had only gotten the first film roll. To placate the audience the theatre owner phones his buddy to ask how Pulp Fiction ends: John Travolta dies, but at least the black guy survives.
