How is it possible (even for a small town of only 4100) that one person can change the water composition for a decade without anyone noticing? Besides the health implication, isn't this a huge national security risk if there is no moni

What makes LaTeX so horrible to use (for me) is the need to use packages for seemingly simple things which have weird dependencies and error messages only experienced users know how to deal with. This package is just one more layer of absur

I think it will be part of a future solution. But building new right now isn't cheap and will just take to long. In addition the old reactors are pretty expensive. I'm looking forward to see how new reactor designs and modular sol

I don't know about any evidence to support this claim. By law, industry will be shut down before any private home is affected. About 40% of gas and electricity is respectively used in industries. That means there is a lot of reserve be

I would hope they are planning for the worst-case. I want the government to have contingency plans. Doesn't mean it will happen.

Oh, that wasn't clear, sorry. Taking them offline would result in an estimated increase of gas by 1-2%.
550.
by V__ 4y ago
They estimate about 1-2% in gas savings, due to the fact that nuclear is base load and gas plants are used mostly for grid compensation. If the gas storages were empty, and the LNG-terminals weren't about to go online, I would like to

I made a mistake, 10% of electricity is gas. Due to the fact that nuclear is base load and gas plants are mostly used for grid compensation, it would result (according to estimates) in a 1-2% increase in gas usage.

That's true, but if it becomes that bad its really just drop in the bucket.

Also maintenance, but still in comparison, it probably isn't a lot. The last figure I have is about 17 billion for all those federal programs and investments (but those include cheaper public transport tickets as well as other things).

There are currently multiple plans in the work and some already started. The goal right now is to install at least 500k heat-pumps per year. But, there aren't enough skilled heating contractors, so they are working on solving this as w

Right now, gas prices are falling (since the gas storages are full) and federal assistance is currently in the works. So, while possible, I don't know how likely of a problem this will be.
558.
by V__ 4y ago
Absolutely. But the switch to heat pumps will take time and won't change the situation right now. The political procrastination of the last decades is biting Germany in the ass right now.

Good point, and this is a thing in Switzerland, but not in Germany. Direct heating from nuclear plants, that is.

Whether one is pro nuclear or not, I think it makes sense to look at the specific situation at hand. Was it a mistake to shut down all nuclear reactors while not pushing for more renewables and replacing all gas and coal plants first? I thi

Ah, thank you, that makes more sense. Maybe a weird follow-up question: Is it possible (or does it make sense) to find a proof in an inconsistent system and to try to "transform" it into a consistent one?
562.
by V__ 4y ago
Is the problem that you can't proof consistency? Because if it's consistent then shouldn't either P or ~P be true or the axiom doesn't exist?

You are correct, it's article 17 of the Grundgesetz [1] and due to the stipulation of "jedermann" (everyone) any person regardless of age, place of residency or citizenship has the right to petition the German parliament. [1]

Because when your companies have the habit of being mistaken all the time, malice is more plausible. Btw, calling someone a "Musk hater" doesn't make you sound more credible.
