I assume that perspective applies only to West Germans (which btw I happen to be and it's nonsense here too), but Pakistan[1] didn't replace one third of their energy supply in the last few years because they're such yuppies, photovoltaic literally saved them from their energy grid breaking down.

Solar energy isn't a fashion statement, it's rapidly and cheaply getting energy to billions of people who need it the most.
