Solar largest single source of generation for Europe

Solar was the largest single source of generation of electricity for Europe in the second quarter of 2025. This will only increase as solar becomes less costly and more efficient in the coming years. This makes Europe more independent of foreign sources of energy such as coal and gas.

Europe has the most expensive energy and shortages. Germany has 40% renewables and the most expensive energy in Europe. The more you build the more it costs. It also cant meet the demand of AI. Spain has nation wide black out. Renewables cant meet the demand of AI and the future.

Europe was largely dependent of Russian gas, and when that was cut off, they had to build other sources ASAP. That is always expensive. Remember the Engineering Axiom. You can have it fast, you can have it cheap, you can have it right. Choose any two, you cannot have all three. With a grid, you have to have it right, so there was no chance of having it cheap. You can build out renewables and the backup far faster than building fossil fuel or nuclear generators. Right now, you order a steam turbine from GE it will be eight years before they even start building it. You can build out a solar installation or wind farm in a year.
 
The oil industry gets tax breaks dumbass not subsidies. Obama and Biden gave real subsidies aka tax payer money to the green energy sector and we all know how that turned out

If you truly believe some of the ridiculous crap you are spewing give up every product that contains oil. Lead by example. I'm betting you won't because like every other retarded zealot you are full of shit.


LOL So a tax break is not a subsidy? LOL Damn, but these MAGAts are stupid. Of course tariffs are not paid by the consumer, also, right? LOL
 
Solar was for the month of JUNE.



Renewables were the largest source in the 2nd quarter, when the weather is conductive to it.



When you have to exaggerate with your title, you lose the thread.
And all you right wing flap yaps were saying what has already happened never would happen. As renewables continue to increase in efficiency and decrease in price, you will see more and more time where they are the primary source of power. Simple economics.

Renewables will wreck the economy. A nuclear plant can be built in 3-5 years. let Europe build more renewables and watch their manufacturing leave. Volkswagen and Volvo are coming to America for that reason. The future is AI. Renewables cant meet that demand and they drive up the cost
Wind turbines last 10 years. Solar doesn't work at night.
America is all in on nuclear and fossil fuels. Thats were business is going to go.

No dumbass the Government isn't taking tax payer money and giving it to oil companies however the last two administration gave a shit load of the peoples money to the green energy sector.

Tariffs are paid by the consumer no company is going to take that hit the same way corporate taxes are a thinly veiled Federal sales tax. You loons have no issue with the tariffs other countries put on US goods and you morons didn't say shit when the Biden administration hit China with 100% tariffs on EV's, 50% on solar panels and 25% on lithium-ion batteries. So I'm think your whole problem with tariffs is Because Trump.

By the way I didn't vote for Trump.

Renwables cant meet demand of the near future.

Tariffs are paid by the manufacturer and the seller. They must sell but the consumer doesnt have to buy. Prices drop. Thats why after 9 months of tariffs inflation is slowing.
 
If we set up a few, pre-approved designs and limit endless greentard lawfare,
we could make nuclear much, much cheaper.

The fake LCOE bullshit doesn't fool anyone anymore.
Nuclear costs much less they last 80 years
Wind turbines last 10 years so more has to be charged to recover the cost. Then you the cost of surplus energy when the wind stops. The building cots is also high thats why many were canceled

Even after decades of subsidies in England, they still need more.
Just not economical.

Damn but you like to lie. Nuclear is the most expensive way to generate electricity.

Of course fossil fuel electricity generation will become a thing of the past

All technology eventually is replaced by something newer. It’s 100% inevitable

Maybe it’ll be some form of solar power. Maybe not.

But something will replace it. We all know it
Nuclear fusion

Let's not use stupid commie designs.

Let's put our emergency generators above the level a tsunami could reach.
Fujushima was a US design. And, since nukes require a large amount of water for cooling, they are located near water sources, like rivers. Rivers are prone to flooding, more so as the extreme weather events increase. Then there is the danger of dam failure.

"Floods from such natural weather events have caused problems at several U.S. nuclear power plants in recent years. In June 2011, unusually high water on the Missouri River, caused by a combination of heavy spring rains and Rocky Mountain snowmelt, inundated the Fort Calhoun plant in Nebraska. And in October 2012, flooding from Hurricane Sandy caused two New Jersey nuclear plants, Salem and Oyster Creek, to shut down when high water levels threatened their water intake and circulation systems.

Floods caused by dam failures​

Not all floods that threaten nuclear reactors have natural causes, however. Many nuclear plants are situated near rivers, and some of them are downstream from a dam. When the dam fails, the resulting flood is sudden and can be catastrophic. Unlike river overflows or hurricanes, dam failures are likely to occur with little or no advance warning, leaving plant operators scrambling to protect their facilities before the floodwaters arrive, typically within hours."
