Germany consumes the equivalent of 3300 PJ of natural gas per year, mostly for heating. This is an average heating power of 105 GW. Probably less than that in summer, and a lot more in winter. Considering how expensive nuclear power is, I don't see that kind of capacity being added anywhere in Europe. Renewables might have a better chance against fossil fuel in the near future.
- yodelshady 5y agoJFC, The entire land area of Germany devoted to wind turbines would not produce that right now. Germany heats with Russian gas, or nuclear, or does not.
- Krasnol 5y agoNo...Germany heats with Gas or coal. Electrical heating is negligible (not even 3%)[1] as was nuclear in it's current status. It's no no-topic at this point. You don't need it. It causes more problems to keep it running than continuing to shut it down. Also...there is no scenario and never was to build ONLY wind turbines...there are many scenarios which consider ALL of the renewable sources and you don't even need "the entire land of Germany" for it...[2] [1] https://www.bmwi-energiewende.de/EWD/Redaktion/Newsletter/2021/02/Meldung/direkt-erfasst_infografik.html https://www.bmwi-energiewende.de/EWD/Redaktion/Newsletter/20...
