I thought the reason for including Gas was that it could be turned on and off very quickly, so can balance out intermittent renewables? 68% seems more like baseload than intermittent energy.
>”Meanwhile, at the German level (depending on party affiliation), the inclusion of gas-fired power plants is preferred.
However, the “Ampelkoalition” (coalition formed by the German parties SPD, FDP and Green Party) disagrees on this. Likewise, Federal Minister of Economy and Environment Habeck rejects the current proposal.”
That’s a really complicated phrasing just to avoid saying “the opposition likes the gas inclusion because the government opposes it”…
