TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY FRANK ZELLER - A photo taken on August 9, 2013 shows sun rays over a wind and a solar hybrid parc on the Pellworm island, northern Germany. Home to about 1,000 people, 2,000 cows and 3,000 sheep, the sleepy North Sea outpost, set amid vast tidal mudflats, has for decades been a pioneer in solar and wind power. Like a growing number of German communities, Pellworm has made sure the shift toward a zero-carbon future is driven by local people, not energy companies.
