The sun is the biggest reactor in the solar system and does not send an invoice. All fossil power was once energy given by the sun. Gas is only considered green when the generators can be used for hydrogen later. The hydrogen will be produc

There is not a single one of these "small modular self contained" reactors commerically available or producing power for the grid. These are called "blueprint reactors", because designing a nuclear reactor is easy, but b

China said: We give money to each and all Chinese companies, that want to do solar cells. Germany's conservative government then just ignored the German's companies cries for help, costing 200_000 jobs. Why? Well that were moslty

We use it for HEATING. It cannot be replaced without "Sektorenkopplung" / switching to heatpumps first.

The plan is to use the overshoot energy to electrolyze hydrogen and store it via pressure increase in the extensive German gas network… for use during the "Dunkelflaute" in the gas plants.

No we don't. We need to build storage and electrolyzers.
