The village of Feldheim, Germany, is now producing 100% of its energy from renewables. The town is off the grid. Unemployment is ZERO percent in Feldheim. In surrounding communitiesm the unemployment rate is 15-20%. Part of this video tells the story of Feldheim. It is heartening! We can produce our energy with renewables.
