My impression is that Germany is like California. They love technology and certain aspects of high modernity but never want to catch so much as a glimpse of the industrial infrastructure that makes or powers it. They also have a similar paradoxical "volkisch" fetish for organic food and natural medicine along with their high tech cars and computers and phones and techno music.
As a European citizen who looks at fat American people (and death statistics for American people) sometimes in disgust/pity I prefer to stay with my natural food, thank you very much.
As for wind mills I'm all for having many of them.
