In 2018, Germany imported 10TWh of electricity from France, while it produced 545TWh. That's not even 2% - how are you supposed to cover baseload with that?

- pjc50 7y agoA lot of people seem to be saying "baseload" when they mean "peak". That's the benefit of the international links - countries not having their peak consumption at the same time of day can average it out between each other.
- lstodd 7y agoCan't send power over thousands of kilometers without losing half of it, sorry. Not to mention oceans. It is just not happening.
- macspoofing 7y agoThat's the problem with solar and wind. During peak times you get very good generation capacity and nothing or too little off-peak.
