- CraftingLinks 2y agoIt's not the relatively clean nuclear you needed to replace it's the coal and gas. You effectively neutralized your renewable energy efforts by shutting down nuclear.
- practicemaths 2y agoYeah but then Russia could not have sold them as much oil & gas.
- kjeldsendk 2y agoThat's not true, nuclear was never the main source of power in Germany and it's been replaced by a constantly growing sustainable energy sector.
- CraftingLinks 2y ago30 TWh nuclear, replaced by 30 TWh renewables, from the article.
- josefx 2y ago> we imported renewables from the alps and scandinavia How large are those power lines going from scandinavia to Germany? Afaik we already have issues getting north and south Germany properly connected. It doesn't help that there where reports of "greenwashing" in the past where power companies would trade local coal power for hydroelectric power from the other side on the planet so they could put a 100% green energy seal on their offering.
- QuesnayJr 2y agoSince you importing it meant less for the rest of us, "silly" isn't the word I would use either. "Irresponsible", on the other hand, I would accept.
