- nabla9 2y agoGerman Net Power Generation in First Half of 2024 35.0% of energy from fossil fuels. More than half of that could have been replaced by nuclear energy by not shutting down power plants. https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/2024/german-net-power-generation-in-first-half-2024-record-generation-of-green-power-generation-from-fossil-fuels-continues-decline.html https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/press-media/press-releases/...
- roenxi 2y agoGermany's energy (overall and electric power) production has been knocked back to 1970s levels [0]. If that is working, failure is unimaginably bad. The trend is grim. China, on the other hand, has built a new US sized economy over the same timeframe that looks very similar to the German situation on a per-capita basis.
