Hate to say it but this where wind and solar fall on their ass.
Low wind, low amount of sunlight and very high demand.
Saying “just store energy for times like this”, imagine the amount you would need to cover for this scenario.
So green.
So fucking stupid to get rid of nuclear. This clearly shows we need it for times like this.
If you select a day with barely any sun or wind, it’ll look like that, yes.
On average this year, it’s more like 25,7% wind, 11,2% solar. (+ biomass and hydro.) Overall, renewables make up ~48%. Certainly a WIP, but nowhere near as bad as this would suggest.
A little bit naïve to say the least not to have nuclear. Sure build up solar and wind and have Balanced fuel provision, but completely disregarding it is/was a huge knee jerk reaction.
Not great, but also not nearly as terrible as the post makes it out to be.
Completely useless post, since it’s only about one day. __Renewable energys__ had a share of __50%__ in Germany’s electricity input im 2022. __Coal__ was at __21%__.
We should turned off all coal plants instead of all the nuclear plants… but no they kinda stupid…
That’s what you get for choosing Russia over EU and Eastern Europe.
Armutszeugnis…
What was the website that showed how much each eu country exported energy to the other one? The one where they showed you the data with a 2 hour delay.
Germany: NUCLEAR POWER BAD
Also Germany: Reopens 7GW of Coal capacity
Also Germany: Reopens 2GW of Lignite capacity
Also Germany: Expands lifetime of existing coal plants
Also Germany: Shift+dels entire villages to dig up more coal
Good job, Germany.
How disgusting.
Seconds before anyone says when should build batteries first before we should invest in renewables.
Not many countries can afford nuclear power (obviously germany is rich enough but i am talking in general now) , and wind/solar are simply nowhere near enough

Translation: coal, gas, biomass, nuclear, wind, solar, “other”
Green movement going strong I see…
Germany: nuclear power is bad and you should feel bad.
Also Germany: guys, coal power is eco friendly, right?
Some foam mouthed nutjob will be around shortly to explain how this isn’t a bad thing or at least much better than nuclear.
Merry Christmas!
Is this a forecast for “this” coming Sunday, or actual results from “this” past Sunday? I assume the latter. “This” day always confuses me, apologies.
https://electricinsights.co.uk/#/dashboard?start=2022-12-11&&_k=0b9hfg. On Sunday wind had fallen to 4% of British supply compared to a more normal 35% the previous Sunday. Can’t wait for batteries/hydrogen/tech to come online to help soften the peaks and valleys of supply.

I didn’t realise the Germans love coal that much.
They can see [the hole in Hambach](https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150294/hambach-coal-mine#:~:text=As%20the%20largest%20open%2Dpit,material%20formed%20from%20decayed%20plants.) getting bigger from the space.

Pure coincidence that they just happen to pick [the day with the least wind](https://energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&stacking=stacked_absolute_area&week=49)?
For those interested in *average* energy mix in germany and not just one day OP picked out for some reason, [**here you go.**](https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_image/public/paragraphs/images/fig3-share-energy-sources-gross-german-power-production-2021.png?itok=IIrDbGVd)

[Coal plants](https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/reliance-on-coal-linked-with-lung-cancer-incidence/) and [coal mines](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3744577/) cause more cancer than the general public is aware of
The reality is that you still NEED coal
Not many countries can afford nuclear power (obviously germany is rich enough but i am talking in general now) , and wind/solar are simply nowhere near enough
