Hi Germany, Don't think for a second that electricity bills haven't gone up in the US every year since 2008 as well. The only reason people aren't screaming about it is that we had no winter this year. When summer gets fully kicked in, wait and see how people respond when they see what using their AC has done to their electric bills! |

There's no way they could have brought online to power half Germany, with the industry it has. Last I read there was frantic questions about how they would cover the short full of nuclear, now theykve resolved and built in a couple months??? And where they suddenly find tech to store it for overnight use? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5758456 storage problem not solved yet, work in progress - DC to H2 and pump storage hydro power stations [link to www.solarserver.de] unlike as in the US it's geographically impossible to fill demand with solar power over here. therefore wind parks and especially off shore wind parks plus HV power-lines being build. as well as additional natural gas and coal back up power plants. longterm goal - HV/DC power-lines to solar power plants in the very south of Europe. There are no concrete plans being implemented yet, isnt that one of the reasons Norbert Röttgen got replaced - Merkel said Peter Altmaier would be better to get the job done. And this from May 27th doesn´t give cause to believe anything is going to happen anytime soon - also because there will be tons of protest against any new power lines.

What are we waiting for? Germany consumes 2.5 million barrels of oil a day and imports 95% of it. They consume 99.5 Billion cubic meters of natural gas per year and import 90% "The seven oldest reactors were permanently closed after the Fukushima accident" "The main source of electricity still remains coal. The recent plan to build 26 new coal plants is controversial in light of Germany's commitment to curbing emissions. Lignite is extracted in the extreme western and eastern parts of the country, mainly in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Sachsen and Brandenburg. Considerable amounts are burned in coal plants near to the mining areas, to produce electricity. Transporting lignite over far distances is not economically feasible, therefore the plants are located practically next to the extraction sites. Bituminous coal is mined in Nordrhein-Westfalen and Saarland. Most power plants burning bituminous coal operate on imported material, therefore the plants are located not only near to the mining sites, but throughout the country. Germany is the world’s largest operators of non-hydro renewables capacity in the world, including the world’s second largest operator of wind generation."

Is this because they have had such great ideas in the past as well? Quoting: NISA715 It's a bit more complex than that. Common sense tells us that nuclear energy is dangerous. You don't understand that? You haven't seen examples of how volatile it is? Fuku wasn't enough for you? What about Chernobyl? SL-1? Three mile island? What about Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant in Slovakia? They decided to decommission it in 1979, it will take until 2033 to finish it off. They had 30 shutdowns there. That's not dangerous? The Kyshtym disaster in the Soviet Union released 80 tons of highly radioactive material into the environment, they still don't know what impact it's had on the people in the area. You may want to play fast and loose with your life and your childrens, the rest of us don't. Australia has no nuclear reactors, they seem to be doing fine. Why do you have such a boner for nuclear energy? And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Also every house owner gets money to build solar panels and photovoltaic panels. Germany knows that oil and gas will run out sooner or later, so we need a plan b. We work on that sine 15 years. New plan is to get about 2 mio Electro cars on the road till 2020. BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz are involved in the plan and will bring out new electro cars in the comin 2 years. So you can drive your car with solar energy / Biomass / waterpower and so on in the future. No more gas station needed, for house owner. Vorsprung durch Technik. |
