Some scenes looks almost like sci-fi movie. This video is a small masterpiece in my opinion.

[efraingonzalez]

Germany is doing some good stuff here, I hope other countries could see that and follow them. Good for Germany

What a sinister video .... Video looks and sounds as if it is a trailer of an upcoming horror movie.

[BunManAkko]

Wow when i saw the wind turbines in the ocean it reminds me of battlefield 4 "parcel storm" and wow really impressed by Germany Well done 👍

A similar video on Spain's Energy Revolution would be great, as the Spaniards did this 10 years before the Germans. Even one of the islands in the Canaries, El Hierro, is 100% sustainable, being the first island in the entire world to accomplish this.

I can't believe I'm at a loss for words. Ok. here's one: Amazing!

Looks like Germany is doings some very interesting work with renewable energy. Great piece National Geographic.

Germany has some of the most technologically advanced wind turbines in the world... They turn at only 1/2 the speed it takes for a conventional unit, and they are direct-drive generator mechanisms, thus eliminating the gearbox overheating that causes many fires in the conventional design...

The world's first megawatt-sized wind turbine near Grandpa's Knob Summit, , Castleton, Vermont

[swanactive]

NAT GEO won't be publishing good stuff like this much longer now that Murdoch has his hands on it... :(

[James-gziq]

Sounds like a wind-energy bill coming to my mailbox, the suspense, and horror

[jrmusan]

Why do you always choose the hardest to read fonts?

[azadkaya]

Why this sad music on such a positive thing?

[whoistheaxnguy]

What's up with the ominous music?

[davenzo]

This should be a trailer for a scary movie. I’d die to see the movie

[andreasBKAN]

Why did they shut down the powerplants?

[pascalbeck]

The ride in the cooling tower is actually in the Netherlands.
