Germany's power producers are preparing for their first winter without nuclear power, after the country closed its last remaining reactors in early 2023 amid ongoing efforts to modernize its energy system.
Of course it fucking will and us Swedes ends up short-ended to pick up the slack of a nation making uneducated child-like decisions that we didn’t even get to vote on or even have as much as a say in!
It’s Nordstream all over again, thank you very fucking much!
Thankfully, Finland recently completed a new nuclear power station that will help us both this coming winter.
German fossil fuel electricity production is down a lot compared to the same period last year
Germany exported a lot of electricity to France last winter, which will likely not be the case this winter
German electricity consumption is down a lot
All of that perfectly well explained in the commentary even with lovely graphs, but well lets first hate on Germany and ignore the facts. Makes life so much easier right?
Of course, it’s speculation, we cannot tell the future. But looking at the graphs provided, Germany has steadily generated leas and less power in 2023. What kind of miracle are you hoping for this winter? 100 % sun hours with steady winds?!
Because it affects many of us on such a personal level. Middle-class households in Sweden are struggling financially, much because of the energy prices.
The environmental changes caused by burning fossile fuel are being felt, now more than ever before.
And it fucking stings the eyes when you hear uneducated fools talk about how bad nuclear power is when it really would help us eleviate both these issues.

You mean besides:

The article (as stated in the fucking title) is about how Germany will most likely need to substitute their energy grid with imports and coal power…
We always need to substitute our energy grid with coal power … it’s just more in the winter.
No not really lol. They speculate that maybe they may need to burn more coal this winter.
While being very clear about how speculative the whole commentary is, as it largely depends on how much wind and solar will offset.

Winds will pick up in winter and sun will go down. We’ll see i guess. Don’t know why everyone in this thread is so fucking angry

Ig you haven’t read up on some “long term storage” facilities already leaking and failing after mere decades due to cut corners?

Also nuclear is not something we (germany) could just get back on short term.
Nuclear isnt at all the silver bullet yall make it out to be
