Off-grid German village banks on wind, sun, pig manure

#Energy

Feldheim, a hamlet near Berlin, is the first in Germany to have left the national grid and switched to 100 per cent local, alternative energy, swearing off fossil fuels and nuclear power decades before the rest of the country plans to near the same goal. Cowas are seen at a farm near wind turbines at the energy-sufficient village of Feldheim, which is supplied 100% with heating and electricity from renewable energy sources.
