Solar panel installation dropped off a cliff in Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain etc as EU pursued ruinous austerity policy.

When they take away reading, when they take away writing, they are stealing your ideas, dimming your awareness of the world, dampening the near limitlessness of human creation, quieting the joy of expression, stymying the sheer power of discovery.

Don’t you dare let them take those things from you.
