“Slow Disaster Playing Out” As Germany Moves To Shut Down 8.5 GW Of Baseload Nuclear Capacity
Watts Up With That ^ | 11/28/21 | P Gosselin

Posted on 11/29/2021 5:31:54 AM PST by Renkluaf

At FaceBook, Dane Peter Bardland presents a chart and commentary on Germany’s upcoming rapid nuclear power phaseout.

By the end of 2022, the government will have shut down another 6 plants with a total (baseload) capacity of 8.54 gigawatts!

Yesterday we commented here that Germany will in fact be shutting down all the baseload power sources, which ironically kept the country from blacking out in 2021 because wind and solar power failed to deliver as expected.

“Disaster playing out”…”pretty crazy”

Bardland writes:

In just over a month, Germany will close 3 of its newest and best nuclear power plants and more than 4050 MW of electricity will disappear from northern Europe’s power grid. 4050 MW is equivalent to the average electricity consumption of all of Denmark.

It will put supply security further under pressure and them choosing to do so in the middle of winter is pretty crazy. Not only will the 4050 MW of shut off nuclear power lead to more CO2 emissions, but it will cause much more pollution from the burning of biomass and fossil fuels. Next winter, Germany will close the last 3 nuclear power plants, also 4000 MW.

Anyone who has followed the energy and climate political debate, even superficially, over the last 10-20 years can see that Germany, Denmark and other ‘green crazy countries’ are doing it vigorously AGAINST what logic and science dictates.

We see a slow disaster playing out with The Greens in the lead role as the crazy villain, hell-bent in their eagerness to wipe out life and prosperity.

(PS. Buy warm clothes, food, water and candles, for the coming winter).”

On top of the baseload power shutdown madness, German Health Minister Jens Spahn said he favored a one-year complete lockdown of unvaxxed Germans. There’s definitely something in someone’s water.

"Wind and Solar won’t actually reduce German emissions."

Even Sloe Joe could figure that out.

Well, if we knock off 90% of the world’s population, we won’t need all that nuke power.

The German people have it in their DNA to bring down hell and brimstone on themselves. WW I, WW II, Holocaust, Hitler, Merkel, African Immigrants and now turn off the power with Winter on top of them.

Feel sorry for the old and the young and those that didn’t vote for Merkel. The Rest? The hell with the green socialists morons.

Remember the attack on Moscow and Winter Fritz.

Winter Fritz was the legendary Soviet propaganda figure. German soldier with icicles hanging from his nose, squiqqly lines around him to represent shivering, bundled up in women’s clothes.
