There is a strategy beyond populism and FUD?
> Overbuilding renewables capacity so it can still provide enough even at lower efficiency.
And the cost of overbuilding is?
> And last but not least the EU hydrogen strategy, where a transport and storage network will be built similar to that for natural gas
Again, some future magical solution with unspecified costs
- peterfirefly 3y ago> And the cost of overbuilding is? For renewables? Absolutely huge. We would need 10-20x the nameplate power. Perhaps even more. The only reason renewables "work" at the moment is that all other energy sources work overtime to compensate. (And the EU's hydrogen strategy is a huge green elephant -- but Timmerman has invested most of his political capital in it so the idea doesn't go away until he does.)
