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.

    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.

      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?!

        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

          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.
