An Anonymous Coward offers the following:

Erwin Proell, the governor of Lower Austria (the largest of Austria's 9 states, with a population of 1.6 million) announced on Thursday that his state now gets 100% of its electricity from renewable sources (63% hydroelectric, 26% wind, 9% biomass and 2% solar).

"Since 2002 we have invested 2.8 billion euros ($3bn) in eco-electricity, from solar parks to renewing (hydroelectric) stations on the Danube," Proell told a news conference.

    > But I'll never forget those Mozartkugeln

    Which translates to "But I'll never forget those Mozart balls"...
    I had to do some searching to understand what you meant.

    Yes, they're not like Rocky Mountain oysters (though I like those much better than real oysters).
