Nah, it was actual stupidity.
The same wind turbine in the scotland produces 3 to five times more power than in Germany
The same solar panel produces 3 times more power in Spanish winter than in German winter.

But fine, you decided to do energy transition inefficiently.
At least don’t switch of nuclear while you are still relying on fossil fuels!
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoYes. I agree. That is better way to put it. Sure, switch to wind/solar. But at least mothball nuclear so they could be ramped back up (i'm not sure if that is possible with nuclear like with other power plants). But yes, have a better fall back position.
- panick21_ 3y agoOr you know. Invest your money smartly, don't actually mothball nuclear, simply build more. And then you save a huge amount of money and you have reliable energy. Crazy how that would work. Simply take the price of a typical modern 1.5GW electric reactor from somebody like South Korea. Calculate how many you need in Germany, add up the cost. And that's not even taking into account the cost savings you could get from building a large number of the same plants. You end up with a number significantly less then what Germany has spend over the last 25 years, will spend the next 20 and has spent on energy subsidies because of their high electricity prices.
