Germany Scales Back on Wind Energy Because Its Not Working

Phasing Out Coal Will Require Germany to Build New Gas Plants

Germany has an opportunity to phase-out coal power plants almost a decade ahead of schedule -- but it will require a fleet of natural gas plants to do it, a new study by Wartsila Oyj shows.

Germany has an opportunity to phase-out coal power plants almost a decade ahead of schedule -- but it will require a fleet of natural gas plants to do it, a new study by Wartsila Oyj shows.

Adding as much as 12 gigawatts of gas-fired, combined heat and power plants to a mix of renewable energy sources would help the country replace existing coal facilities by 2030, according to the Finnish company. Germany plans to close all of its coal plants by 2038 at the latest.

See my previous post. You're ignoring reality so hard, you insist the articles critical of Germany's mishandling of their power infrastructure are from another universe.

I read some of the German articles. They are stupid political propaganda - perhaps written in the USA. With the real situation in Germany this has not a lot to do. We export for example about 25% more electric power than we import. And in general: If someone tries to find new ways then there are sometimes also some problems, which has to be solved. And there are also always open questions. "How to bring effectively solar energy from the summer into the winter?" is such an open question for example. We will find ways to do so. And what the best way will be we will see.

Good idea - then in Australia always will be winter. But she will anyway go down apocalyptically with this method.

In January 2019 Germany exported 7.2 TWh in Europe. The second biggest exporters had been Russia with 1.4 TWh, Czechia with 1.2 TWh, France with 1.1 TWh and Sweden with 1.1 TWh. The 4 biggest importers had been: Italy (2.9 TWh), Finnland (2.3 TWh), Great Britain (1.5 TWh) and Hungaria (1.0 TWh)

Source: Verfehlte Ausbauziele und hoher Stromexport: Was läuft in Deutschland schief?

But you are right the number has to be lower. We needed about 568 TWh in 2019. This should give a result of about 10%-15% for January 2019. Nevertheless this supports not your "arguments" (=political propaganda).

The religious question is whether the "crown of creation" is able and has the will and/or likes to overtake the responsibility for all and every life. To fight for all life or against all life has for sure consequences: as well for the future generations - but also for the own reincarnation and/or resurrection.

BERLIN (AP) — The German government wants to increase offshore wind power capacity five-fold by 2040 as part of its plan to wean the country off fossil fuels. The Cabinet on Wednesday agreed on a bill that would set a goal of 40 Gigawatts of installed offshore wind power capacity in 20 years, from about 7.5 Gigawatts at present.

Germany Seeks Massive Increase in Offshore Wind Power

The five-fold increase is part of the country's plan to wean itself off fossil fuels.

Obviously it's damned diffcult to change the axis of the spin of a fluid drop of fire with burning money. I guess the best is to build a time machine and to ask the sorcerer Catweazle and Touchwood what they think about this problem.

Everything the Left does ends up hurting people.


The German government loves to talk about the importance of green energies, but when it comes to their expansion, it is in fact doing the opposite: Old wind turbines are being removed without being replaced by new generation turbines.

Perhaps it’s beginning dawn on the German government that especially wind and solar energy just aren’t working out, and so they have massively scaled back subsidies with the aim of scaling them back. […]

The NDR [German public television] reports that in the coming years, 16 GW of wind power will be removed from the subsidy system. Almost two-thirds of this may not be replaced by new, more powerful ones.

As far as Altenstedt goes, where the three featured turbines are being dismantled, the NDR reports: “No more wind turbines may be built in Altenstedt, there are no more planning permits. The energy transition is now history here.

The remaining infrastructure: transmission lines, access roads, transformers etc. are available and are now no longer being used. In Altenstedt they will probably become the first relics of a past idea that went sour.

Exactly....costs don't matter to the climate obsessed. Never have.

Oh....notice....wind/solar fan boys always refer to "growth rates". They always look impressive right?

Lol....until they are graphed next to fossil fuels. Suddenly look laughable.

Any argument from a progressive gets train wrecked when you ask the question, "As compared to what?".

The German people found out the hard way a few years ago when they found out the building of transmission lines cost was winding up on their bills!! Mega expensive....dOy.
Yuk....yuk.... stOopid morons got nut sack kicked. Bozos in California found out the same thing and are now paying....ready for this....10% of their income on electricity

Do you like to say you tried not to make a joke? Hmm ... humor is really an extremely diffcult thing in context with the mentality of the people of foreign nations. What a luck that we Germans don't have any form of humor.

And in case of the energy of the sun we could for example produce hydrogen via electrolysis - transform it into methanol on reason of storage - and use it in winter in fuel cells. If I see it it in the right way we would lose in this way up to 50% of the energy - what's much better than to lose 100% of the energy, which we would be able to harvest in summer but are not able to use in summer. And in case of a dark cold summer - for example because of volcanic eruptions or a nuclear Trump war - natural gas could also be used to produce methanol.
