  • they aren’t being driven out of existence by wind and solar that’s just wrong.

    They are being driven out by prolitics and fear of the unknown.

    Waste is problem which has been blown out of proportion in the media.

    Nuclear is more expensive than wind comparable to solar. Major point in it’s favor is base load reliability. Look at capacity factors of the major base load providers. Solar is barely 26%/ Wind 24%/30% on-/off shore and Nuclear is 3x of that and highly predictable (as it’s downtime is planned maintainsnce).

    Pure wind solar would have to be 300% average load(heating excluded!!!) with nearly 15day storage to have a blackout probability on under 1%.

    I am genuinely all for Wind and Solar. Although my comments on this post might lead one to think otherwise.(independence of power for countries is a big + for Wind Solar which is a - for Nuclear)

    But I am for fastest road to green electricity… more like just do everything to get rid of CO2 intense production methods.


  • I am aware of that but that’s due to Compulsive exporting by shunting the prices to near 0€ as there is overproduction on sunny days.

    if you look at the net value of exported vs imported electricity. Germany is strongly in deficit.

    Also the overproducion isn’t great cause he renewabke the LCOE is calculated at install time but the actual cost it’s larger as you end up giving away the electricity (Very difficult to assess on the free market)

    In addition to that Germany’s energy mix has 5-8x carbon intensity as that of France.

    The German solution isn’t economical and by far not ecological. hey but they do better than Poland so that’s something.









  • so you agree that numbers aren’t currently in the public domain. You just think they can be and it wouldn’t hurt.

    Also this isn’t the only problem I outlined. it’s one of them.

    also people are often disinterested and unqualified to even understand a balance sheet. let alone deciding on company direction.

    I just find it fascinating that many people are convinced that they can run a company while they aren’t even able to manage their own finances




  • go freelance. you don’t have to. since your consider yourself smarter than your boss try starting a business.

    it’s a trade off between income fluctuation and stability.

    since you didn’t address any of my points but chose to just respond with random statements, I take it you were convinced but too ingrained with your original statement to admit. It’s fine happens to many of us.

    glad to have helped you thinking critically.


  • and why should that be any better? just because it appears democratic does not mean it makes it automatically “better” <- name 1 cooperation which has shown success for every 1000 “dictatorships”

    democracies are plagued with slow reaction time which would take away your entire market edge. Also democries require transparency. If everyone knows the costing structure/ suppliers… you are done.
