I directly quoted his statement. Are you like his trolling friend? He literally wrote: “balloons are a risk, not UAVs”

I 100% agree with you.

No fixed wing pilot I know would ever state and claim that hot air balloons are a risk. Claiming that “balloons are a risk, not UAVs” is almost so bizarre that I mentally flag your posts as trolling. Giving UAVs the right of way is bogus an

The Fraunhofer acknowledges in their simulations that doubling gas by 100% and having 100% covered by gas plants is necessary. That is if we double the renewables and install 500-600% of the required capacity by 2030. You cannot run Germany

Not sure I understand what you are getting at. Electricity prices in Germany are 45+ cents/kWh.

? So, instead you propose the German strategy to restart coal and double gas capacity to achieve 140 g/kWh of carbon emissions by 2030 (e.g., twice of France)? So restarting coal plants in Germany is wise in comparison?
98.
by looping__lui 3y ago
And that happens in Germany exactly how often? Relate that to the 400g/kWh of carbon emissions coal produces or the radioactive fallout from coal plants. I prefer a nuclear power plant to the coal plants that smog up my air and pollute

Inflexible like PV or wind? Or what do you mean exactly?

Fraunhofer provisions 100% fossil because your industry needs juice when there aint no wind or sun…

This hand-wavy thinking can and will cause shifts in wealth, prosperity and future of Germany and Europe. Ignoring it or feeling good about it won’t change reality very much like the central banks “laissez faire print money” led to (unavoid

And yet we import nuclear electricity when the sun doesn’t shine or there is no wind in Germany…

by looping__lui 3y ago
If you want to achieve a meaningful coverage with renewables, you need to install excessive capacity (e.g., imagine 5-6x the required capacity) AND install 100% in coal/gas/nuclear. Thats pretty expensive and pretty wasteful in te

Wishful thinking that is not backed up by any modeling or research. Our industry would probably disagree that “base load is a concept of the past”.

Renewables are not an option to rely on entirely with an industrialized nation consuming a lot of electricity 24/7. They look financially attractive if storage and grid flexibility aren’t factored in. Full disclosure: I deliver more el

Only they don’t exist and it ain’t viable… You want to run a steel mill or a chemical plant on batteries? Lol. How much battery would you need to sustain Germany 3-4 days?

by looping__lui 3y ago
You have three choices: 1) Deindustrialisation 2) Renewables with gas & coal and a high carbon footprint 3) Renewables and nuclear Decentralization, flexible grid, local storage are as viable and realistic as “cold fusion” for Germany a

According to the Fraunhofer, German’s carbon footprint will be approx. 140 g CO2/kWh by 2030 (twice of France TODAY) if we manage to double renewables AND gas. The German electric grid cannot rely on renewables alone and we will have i

Well, they probably can since you give them consent to keep your hair when you leave the shop… Disposing it would otherwise be considered theft, no?

They are transforming physical objects very much the same way a carpenter does. The service industry is not equal to Tech / digital. A hairdresser does not create Bits or data. I would also argue in this particular case you are wrong.

by looping__lui 3y ago
By that logic, you also need to accept that no one should ever need to pay you for creating artifacts that are not bound to the physical world solely. I assume you work for free for your employer or in a space that is not “dealing” with dat

So you would have bet the future of an entire industry in the German governments ability to actually get the electric grid ready for everyone moving to EV?

Plus there is no infrastructure to actually charge them. Plus our electric grids do not support millions of electric vehicles. Plus, you may realize that in Germany we emit a sh*t-ton of carbon dioxide for generating electricity that ball-p

All optimistic modeling (e.g., by the Fraunhofer) that will “show us the path to green electricity” assume that we will double the capacity for gas by 2030 or so in order to have a backup if solar and wind are not available to sustain the r

So, to your point, this law of capping rents would then incentivize landlords to keep rental units vacant? Wow, sounds like exactly the kind of effect one can expect from laws suggested by Red-Red-Green in Berlin that lack any common sense
