We of course need to overbuild. You can do x4 for off shore wind and still come out ahead of nuclear. That map also corresponds to the time of year solar works

We of course need to overbuild. You can do x4 for off shore wind and still come out ahead of nuclear. That map also corresponds to the time of year solar works 16 hours per day in Europe. It also shows that France Italy and the eastern part of the Baltics had more wind than usual.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoWind capacity regularly drops below 10% in Poland. https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/PL https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/PL
- Gwypaas 4y agoPoland is about the worst country in the EU for on-shore wind so a very cherrypicked counter example. Do you have numbers for off-shore parks along the Baltic coast? That would be much more interesting.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoAgain... what do you do, when there's no wind along the baltic coast? Even a single windless night? Do you turn peoples power off, until it starts blowing again?
- Gwypaas 4y agoWind on the north sea? Or northern Baltic? Or Swedish or Norwegian hydro? Or alps based hydro? We are talking about a continent scale grid.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoIf we'll be fully dependant on other countries for our energy this will never pass. Energy independency is a must.
- Gwypaas 4y agoSo I presume you are for Poland to exit the EU also? I am not talking about relying on Russia here.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoWhy, does it forbid energy independency somehow? And what's wrong with idea that we shouldn't freely give other countries leverage on us?
