The protesters in Germany actually didn’t enter the building and were just taking selfies outside the building.

The problem with the old UI was that it wasn’t scalable. But I think they could have fixed that without messing the whole UI up.

I agree. They should probably just start charging an entrance fee. It’s just way too crowded. Or find a larger venue.

The problem here is that any Carbon emissions caused by the production and use of electric cars are completely ignored. In Germany, one kWh of electricity causes 400 grams of CO2 emissions, yet local law classifies electric drives as carbon

It doesn’t really because there is no viable and economic solution for storing large amounts of electricity other than hydro-storage. There is a reason why California and Germany have so many gas power plants or are building new (17 new pla

Renewables won’t make house owners independent of the grid either. Have a look at Calfifornia where a lot of gas plants have to provide electricity when the sun is down. It’s sometimes really bizarre how proponents of renewables completely

Renewable advocates never account for the backup power plants. If they did, they couldn’t make these bold statements anymore.

There is no reasonable and economic way to store Terawatthours of electricity. Even huge hydrostorage plants have only a few GWh.

To make wind and solar power more reliable, you need to stop earth rotation or manipulate the climate to produce continuous sunlight and/or wind. That’s simply impossible. The only reliable renewable enery is hydropower and maybe geoth

That’s rather inaccurate. German electricity prices are so high because renewables need backup power plants and German law mandates that these plants (mostly coal and gas) are not allowed to operate unless wind and solar are unable to provi

“100% renewables” usually refers to electricity only. They are most likely still burnung fossil fuels for heating and vehicle traffic.

by cbmuser 6y ago
It’s not really an achievement when you have a population of half a million and have lots of possibilities for hydro power. There are other small countries such as Costa Rica or Norway which are also already on “100% renewables” thanks to h
