Translated German news report on the economics of subsidised solar power in Spain:Green energy creates new jobs... in the diesel generator industry.After press reports, it was established during inspections that several solar power plants were generating current and feeding it into the net at night. To simulate a larger installation capacity, the operators connected diesel generators.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," said one industry expert to the newspaper "El Mundo", which brought the scandal to light. If solar systems apparently produce current in the dark, will be noticed sooner or later. However, if electricity generators were connected during daytime, the swindle would hardly be noticed.
Update: Maybe the should just come clean and imitate the Danes in their hair shirt insanity.

Hey, those generators run on diesel fuel, right? Which is made from petroleum. Which is made from dinosaurs. And as we all know, dinosaurs were, ultimately, solar powered.
So there you go. Energy which originally came from sunlight, finally earns the tax credits it deserves. Almost brings a tear to the eye, really.
