Yes because the other 50% is powered by coal.
>not the cheapest when you consider the costs for a conplete system
Same with nuclear and coal, you dont count the potential health problems (coal) and the 10000y storage prices for the waste (nuclear)
- oblio 6y agoI think his point that with renewables + nuclear Germany would have been at much less than 50g of CO2 per kWh.
- nix23 6y agoWell thats true, to stop nuclear and restart coal was an incredible stupid decision...
- cbmuser 6y agoIndeed, it is. Good that we agree on that ;-).
- cbmuser 6y agoExactly. We have been shutting down nuclear power plants the past 10 years instead of fossile plants. In fact, we’re building 16 new gas-fired and 2 new coal-fired plants.
