According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing Germany has the 2nd most expensive electric pricing in the world. Denmark has the highest with $0.40 per kwh, Germany $0.36 per kwh.

Germany can keep its wind and solar, here in the USA I'm content sticking with good, reliable fossil fuel.

Did they happen to build Frosty The Snowman when first manning the station in the 1950's? If they did, I doubt he's broken a sweat in that entire time. That carrot nose might be in tough shape tho'.
