Yes, I watched the video.
I just came back from Strausberg, Germany. They re-purposed old Russian military airports for solar farms. Many many homes and business' have extensive PV solar. Even some highways are lined with extensive PV arrays.
They also have innumerable wind turbines. While flying over the countryside, the wind turbines are seemingly everywhere, mostly in large "wind farms".
Even so, renewable energy produces only 25% of the consumption. It's truly amazing how aggressively they've implemented the renewable energy plans. Full disclosure, I absolutely love alternative energy.
The only complaint I heard was the number of birds killed by the wind turbine farms.
