Qatar now owns a large percentage of Solarworld A.G. at a steep loss to debt holders. It seems that the German solar manufacturing sector has almost entirely consolidated. I recall the Asian presence at Intersolar Europe in 2007, but in 2013 it appears that the market has created new partnerships and ownerships. To answer Mr. Shah’s question, Yes, we are definitely drunk on natural gas having been sold a bill of goods that is not as advertised.
