You mean Germany has enough storage now that is unused and would also be enough to cover the case where gas is replaced with solar? Any numbers that show this

You mean Germany has enough storage now that is unused and would also be enough to cover the case where gas is replaced with solar? Any numbers that show this , including say 1 winter week for residential and industry consumption?
- ncmncm 4y agoWhat you wrote does not make sense.
- simion314 4y agoOK, we can see in winter this storage put to good use then and in spring you can be happy proving me wrong with statistics that show that in fact Germany managed to replae all gas and nuclear production with solar and batteries.
- ncmncm 4y agoSolar and wind have been and are being built out. Dropping that to start nukes and wait 10-20 years for any power at all would be strictly worse.
- simion314 4y agoNobody is asking for stopping building solar or wind, why do you think this is what we are discussing? (it is about some complementary energy source that will help when there is no sun and wind for a few days)
- ncmncm 4y agoMoney is fungible. A dollar spent on a nuke is a dollar not available to spend on building out renewables. Germany wisely chose to build out renewables, in preference to spending those dollars propping up those ramshackle old nukes.
