Ooops

Being civil and nice to people lying or parroting bullshit is what brought us to this point of total media shitshow where it's only about narratives and personal opinions and not about facts anymore.

If people have relearned to check facts and distinguish those from the lies they like to believe I will reconsider my approach. For now I definitely care more about calling out bullshit than for nice words.

Because it is. You are brainwashed by the nuclear lobby trying to tell the fairy tale of how every plan without nuclear will fail and the fossil fuel lobby telling the tale of how it's hopeless and reducing coal isn't working. And both just tell you the same lie about some magical increase in coal use in Germany that doesn't exist.

The idea above is basically the epitome of cluelessness and just parroting narratives. Nobody is freezing in winter because there isn't enough electricity. Because the amount of heating via electricty is low and nobody is heating with coal either. That what gas is mainly used for and why people are talking about gas storage... and no, that doesn't have much to do with electricity either as gas use in electricity production is also low and only used as a peak burner to adapt to quick changes in demand.

It's one big ball of lies while conflating primary energy, heating and electricity to disguise that the underlying facts are already false.

See the linked actual stats above.

Germany increased renewables while decreasing nuclear and coal. When they shut down the last reactors that had to this point contributed less than 1,6% of the produced electricity coal instantly decreased more. Because those reactors contributing basically nothing still got renewables shut off at times. Germany's coal use is at an historic low.

And at the same time everyone tells the fairy tale about the insane Germans trying to kill the planet by using more coal. That's bullshit but it's very well paid bullshit. Because the nuclear lobbyists pay to promote the story of how there is no alternative to nuclear power and fossil fuel lobbyists promote the story of how reducing coal isn't working and you should stop trying.

PS: Also every country is restarting reactors in autumn as a reserve (and barely running) should they be needed in winter at some point. France for example did restart coal power plants last year at the same time as they weren't sure they can get everything nuclear in order until winter (after they burned massive amounts of gas and forced neighbours to do the same to keep their grid stable... in the middle of a gas crisis). But that isn't reported, because it's not the desired narrrative.

For Reference:
Germany power production 1990-2020

"The amount of electricity generated from fossil and conventional energy sources decreased by 12.2% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year. The largest decrease, 22%, was measured for electricity generation from coal."

2022 vs. first half fo 2023

That's the reality.

But hey... Germany is increasing coal use! They are insane! Cheer for me for parroting our most popular lie about the evil Germans!

And some fun facts for good measure:

Germany's nuclear power production at its peak was never above 30% and given the increase in electricity demand in those 30 years even if they kept all those reactors forever it would still be irrelvant low today. But it's good for propaganda to pretend otherwise

Germany while actively exiting nuclear power reduced nuclear power generation by less than France in the same time frame, just because they couldn't keep all old their old reactors alive.

France today has not nearly enough nuclear power just to cover the minimal required base load of projected demand by 2050. (They also will need 14 completely new big reactors -not the 6 with optionally another 8, but the full set- to get there.) That's the actual amount necessary to invest in nuclear.

Which also means basically any single country claiming to go for a nuclear solution is bullshitting you. Because they all don't plan to build even remotely enough to ever cover base load. Why aren't they? Because nobody has a clue how to foot that bill.

Also every nuclear model is actually a nuclear base load plus renewable model. Yet for some reason the exact same countries talking loudly about nuclear also lack the necessary renewables. Totally not caused by propaganda of course...

And at the end the not-so-fun fact: There is actually one thing you can criticise. The priority of reducing hard coal before lignite. But that's caused by geopolitical factors (it's domestic) and the fact that we inherited East Germany where lignite is sadly a big economic factor in some regions. One of the few relevant economy factors remaining in Eastern Germany. Just like cutting off Russian pipeline oil wasn't a problem of oil per se but of Eastern German industries who build their existence on those deliveries even before the reunion.

Klar, weil es ja keine rechtliche Handhabe gibt, um öffentliche Desinformation und Lügen zu belangen... Oh, Moment...

We would probably know by now but... oh, look which countries are blocking an investigation...

Obviously not as all the assholes here who cry about Article 5 at every chance were also proudly proclaiming how obviously it was that \ destroyed German infrastructure.

No, that's bullshit. The media is telling two dozen reasons and then the only actual reason mentioned is put in a row as just another excuse unthough all the others were invented by journalists.

Germany is indeed not allowed to because that's in the constitution. Maybe you read it for once to see why they actually can't send soldiers to other countries without a complete vote in parliament. Yes... that constitution is influenced by history. But simplifying that issue so much it's none-sensical just to tell another lie of how they are either afraid or ashamed to do anything against Russa is still a blatant lie.

But hey. We all know you will not allow yourself to ever acknowledge facts. Because hating your government because of lies you tell yourself makes everything so much easier, as we see in moronic elections right now again.

These "cowards" are actually one of Ukraines biggest supporters. While the only thing you support is the fight against democracy by parroting lies and bullshit.

Gutes Beispiel, das zeigt wieso deine Aussage Mist ist... denn was ist in der Realität passiert?

Die Leute, die hier Russlandflaggen als Unterstützung des Krieges geschwenkt haben, haben die beschriftet oder mit Bildern von Putin verziert oder zusätzlich klar sich oder die Flaggen mit Sankt-Georgs-Band verziert. Eben um klar zu stellen, was sie Aussagen wollen, weil es die Flagge allein nicht getan hätte.

Und was haben die Leute getan, die gegen den Krieg waren? Genau. Sie haben Russlandflaggen geschwenkt. Solche mit Beschriftungen. Oder welche, die sie modifiziert haben, um das Rot zu entfernen, oder an dem Rot rumzuschmieren, dass es wie Blut aussah.

Ich könnte dir einen Tipp geben, wieso die gewählte Regierung (leider und trotz Protesten) das Land repräsentiert, während Hamas das nicht tut. Aber das Niveau ist mir ehrlichgesagt zu dumm.

No, they didn't. But as this lie needs to be parroted at least twice a week you are at least in good company and having friends that tell the same lie is always more important than the truth.

Du beantwortest die Frage, warum das schweirig ist doch perfekt mit deinen völlig unbegründetem Blödsinn.

Die Hamas ist nicht Palästina. Mit welcher Flagge sollte jemand denn deiner Meinung nach darauf aufmerksam machen, dass gerade mit offener Ankündigung Kriegsverbrechen gegen die palästinensische Bevölkerung verübt werden (aber um Israel zu zitieren: "Das sind ja alles eh nur Tiere und werden auch so behandelt")?

Und dann erfindest du gemäß deiner eigenen verdrehten Logik auch noch ein Verbrechen.
