8.54 Gigawatts!
Russia will step in and supply them with their missing megawatts when blackouts be come the norm. Greens will be the first up against the wall, while blaming Trump.
Nuke plants cannot backup wind and solar because they cannot be switched on and off quickly enough. So, Germany uses coal as a backup for their Green disaster.
Funny side note: Coal plants are like cars. They pollute the most when you turn them on and off. So, Wind and Solar won’t actually reduce German emissions.
8.54 Gigawatts!
Most at risk: the elderly.
Again.
From the people who gave you Auschwitz.
Suicide is painless.
The best Chief Executive Officer I ever worked for had a saying: “Reality will occur”.
So when “reality occurs” in Germany this winter (i.e. it gets cold) and everyone is freezing their asses off, is anyone going to think shutting down the nukes was a good idea?
Once upon a time I thought germans were pretty smart but warped. Now I think they are simply warped.
Germany has gone insane (again)! How are they going to replace this capacity?
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.
This is the population control crowd furthering the destruction of civilization.
Obama’s German lapdog strikes again. As if it wasn’t enough to welcome with open arms a flood of fake “refugees” from the Middle East. Absolutely suicidal.
The most ludicrous part of this is that Angela Merkel is, ostensibly, “right of center”. There’s others, MANY others, who are even worse.
What would be a benign reason for them doing this?
1. Nuclear power is Green
2. Good. Let them be the beta site for Green energy
3. Except nuclear power is Green
Sometimes ones highest and best use is to serve as a warning to others.
Moreover:
4GW of nuclear is about equivalent of 24GW of installed “renewables”.
In practice, on average, the renewables deliver about 1/6 of their capacity.
Germany has already installed enough renewable power sources. Renewables installed theoretical capacity in Germany is about 1.5 times of German electricity needs. Yet, instead of flooding Germany with electricity, these deliver like 1/4 of German electricity needs on average. In bad days only about 5%.
There will be long, cold winters in Germany!
They will have to kiss Putins ass that much harder.
Idiots.
Well, they have plenty of imported laborers who can be put to work cranking generators. That should solve the problem.
After all, that strategy worked well from 1939-1945.
Nobody ever accused the krauts of being smart and rational. Now they’re doubling down on stupid. As far as I’m concerned, let the bastards freeze in the dark.
Their will be plenty of welfare resources to keep the new Germans warm and cozy. Get back to work, Fritz. Muhammed and his five wives and 15 kids are depending on you..
