LOL....Germany taking down stupid wind farm...to make room for coal mine. Green fascists are killing people with green religion.

It may be too late for Germany this year and for a few years going forward....maybe, just maybe, they now know better than to believe in the green fascist's religion.....


German energy company RWE operates several different types of power generation operations in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia. At one location, they have a large lignite coal mine and a wind turbine farm located side by side. (A rather startling juxtaposition given the divisive nature of the ongoing green energy debate.) But some changes are coming, and not the sort that green energy enthusiasts are cheering about. RWE has begun taking down some of its wind turbines to make room to further expand the coal mine.

Germany dismantles wind farm to expand coal mine

How many people have died?

There is a massive wind farm near the Az California border. I have driven past this wind farm at least a dozen times and every time I do there are no more than 10% of the windmills working.

Nobody in Europe is facing a natural gas shortage in fact there is a glut.

Nobody in Europe is facing a natural gas shortage in fact there is a glut.

The comfortable position Europe finds itself in could be temporary. Starting next week, seasonal forecasts will be able to show with some accuracy how winter weather will affect storage. A cold, dry and windless winter could suck gas stores and hinder wind-power generation. A mild, wet and windy winter could help throttle gas demand and boost wind power.

A cold snap in Asia, meanwhile, could prod traders to divert gas from offshore Europe to China, Japan or South Korea.

Another risk: Gas infrastructure sometimes breaks or needs repair, which could strand some of Europe’s surplus or make it harder to get to users. Sabotage is also a risk after Western investigators have ruled that recent explosions along the Nord Stream gas lines linking Russia and Europe were intentional acts.

Futures markets point to higher prices from December, when colder weather is expected to boost demand and stores will start to dwindle. Governments, regulators and power and gas grid operators including Germany have readied plans to protect the most vulnerable energy users over winter in case stores run low, for example by imposing blackouts and cutting off non-priority industries.

Next year is expected by traders and government officials to be harder still. Contracts for gas that will be delivered through 2023 are trading far above the current price, because of the challenge Europe will face in refilling stores with little or no Russian gas. Russia is still sending a small amount of gas to Europe through Ukraine and Turkey and a small amount of LNG shipments.

“Europe has enough gas stored to survive this winter unless it gets very, very cold,” Rystad Energy analyst Nikoline Bromander said in a note. “But the continent is not out of the woods yet: With Russian flows continuing to decline, winter 2023 will be even tougher.”

Even after the decline, prices in Europe are more than seven times as high as they were two years ago, before the market began to rise in 2021. High gas prices have inflicted a heavy toll on European industry and pushed governments to commit hundreds of billions of euros to shield businesses and consumers through winter.

Europe, Once Fearing Gas Rationing This Winter, Has a Glut

Prices for natural gas have tumbled more than 70% from their late-August high, thanks in part to a burst of warm weather.

What's interesting is that German companies are betting on coal rather than wind. It might be dirty, but it'll give you warmth when the wind stops blowing and the sun goes down.

The U.S. could have been supplying them. ‘Let’s go Brandon!’

Sounds about right. They were built by democrats.

Remember, for the democrats it is about reducing access to energy, expensive, unreliable and limited energy.....they don't want people to have lots of energy, that just leads to more people and more freedom of lifestyle choices and movement.......harder to control that....

It may be too late for Germany

Its too late for the communist country, to stop the process is impossible
The completely incompetent in almost any thing 'government' of Scholz does anything Schwab & Co commands
The country is done

The wind energy is a scam to relocate western industry to China

 

[Moonglow]

The story says that they are expanding a coal mine and are removing five wind turbine, so you header is a lie.

Too late that happened during the 1990s and it was done by the wealthy capitalist to increase profit margins.
