And whose fucking fault is that?

That would be the fault of the idiots who'd rather see the literal authoritarian mad man come to power again than vote for Biden.

The suffering in Gaza has to stop but not voting Biden will have the opposite effect.

Piss off "the Jews"? Can we please condemn Israels violence without antisemitism?

There is not a lot of storage yet because the goal is only to be climate neutral by 2045 and right now, more power generation has the priority. There are limited funds.

I never said it was easy. I said it was more economically viable than constructing dozens of nuclear reactors.
On the contrary, it's one of the biggest economic transitions ever.

Wind turbines make up the biggest share of regenerative capacity in the German power grid and there tends to be more wind in winter:

Sorry it's not the best diagram and it's in German.
The numbers appear to be TWh of power (that's why it doesn't add up to 100). The percentage above each month is the percentage of regenerative sources. 2023 it never dropped beneath 50% except 47 in February.

No nuclear plants were shut down in 2022. Emissions rose because gas was expensive and more coal was burned as a result. The downward trend has since resumed.

In 2023, Germany imported about 12 TWh from France which is about 2% of the total power consumption. Germany tends to export more energy than it imports. Imports and exports are a very normal thing because of the European power grid.

France has its own set of problems with all their nuclear power, namely very high (tax funded) maintenance costs and lack of cooling water in the dry summers.

Millions of dollars of pay are always absurd but this really puts it into perspective

I know. The price per kWh is still better with renewables and the speed of construction doesn't even compare.

Studying the blade

Germany right now has about 60-70% renewable electricity in the summer and about 50% renewable in winter. 100% is absolutely achievable. You need to install more capacity than you need of course and there will be times where you generate much more power than you need. That is not a problem because a) renewables are cheap to install and b) you can use that excess power to charge batteries or synthesize hydrogen.
Those in turn can be used for times where power production might now be enough otherwise. We have the technology, we are deploying it right now and by the time the last coal plants are shut down, it will work.

If we start building nuclear power today, we get less capacity slower for a higher price.

We don't have 20-30 years to wait for a "maybe".

We need to drastically reduce emissions yesterday. The way to do that is water, wind, solar.

Nuclear power is expensive. If a plant is no longer safe to operate, it may make sense to shut it down for good.

Building the same capacity in renewables is often cheaper and faster than repairing an old plant or even building a new one.

Germany's electric energy emissions steadily went down despite exiting nuclear power because Germany actually invests in renewables.

A promotional video of a lobby organization says they're doing a good job, therefore the Israeli government owns the US government?
