Sorry, it's Spain, with 20% unemployment. Germany is the industrial center of Europe with several nuclear reactors to boot. You can't green industry nearly as much as you would like to claim, it requires more power output than can be reliably garnered from "green fuel". Also, I doubt they will stay on top economically for very long if they have to bail out Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugual and Ireland. Joining one monatary standard with several countries who's economies couldn't match up was a horrible mistake.
Plus the US, in retrospect to Europe, can't utilize as effcient a green system because it's 3000 miles across and requires alot more energy just to transverse. Germany nor any other European country has that type of geographic problem to over come.
