The Proof: reality is worse than the 'Yes, minister' series

Most people have the hope, that real politicans are better. Sorry, here is the proof for the opposite. An example from Germany:

Project Investment Pay back time Risk for investment	CdTe Photovoltaic factory $30 M 4 years No risk known	Lignite power plant $3000 M 39 years Any CO₂ tax will make it impossible to make wins.
Problems to start	No problem known	A village built on 40 Mt lignite has to be destroyed. Without the destruction of the village, lignite will only be enough for 36 years instead of 40 years. First wins expected after 39 years.
Risk for future workers	No risk known	One day in the future, a worker will come home after a hard day of work. He turns on the television and hears the latest news: "CO₂ tax starting next year" He will know in this moment that his job is just finished.

Some German politicians really think, that the lignite power plant is a great idea to waste some money.

One year lost for humanity to get a great new weapon against the CO₂ problem.

News from 1996-12-05: Every year 10.000.000.000 DM subvention for stone coal in Germany. Enough money to built every year factories for 5000 MW Peak Photovoltaic. Every year new factories for 70 times of 1995 world production. Every year more money by the wins of all this new factories. But instead of this, German politicians think it is better to invest every year 10.000.000.000 DM in a dead business deadly for our home planet.
