Rob, as always: Spot on! Mission impossible to run an industrialized country like Germany on hydro, wind, solar and associated battery buffer. Regrettably they also turned off my favorite Isar 2 NPP. Back in the days I worked on GROWIAN and it was clear from the onset: total disaster! Cheers
I disagree with your inclusion of hydro with the wind and solar crap. But I live near the city of Montreal in Canada and our electricity prices are the lowest on the continent because of our big hydroelectricity dams
I grew up in Alabama close to the Tennessee Valley Authorities series of dams on the Tennessee River that stopped the destructive flooding that was a constant there for centuries. Farm land was developed, clean energy, an enormous amount of water in the reservoirs for irrigation, people, and fishing!@@dennisenright9347
What makes you think it's been a failure, it all depends on your point of view. For the German "Greens" and other European leftists it's been a great success.
Their nuclear policy is political because their nuclear plants were safe and reliable. Germany has been concerned about water usage and coal plants and mining uses a lot of water.
About time there is a cost/benefit analysis of green policies.
Germany needs to build 1TWe of new uranium-fired power plants.

I love the singing of the birds in the background as if they are saying, "Hell, yes!"
