Germany --- wind power failure Couple of recent posts on X
Regarding Germany – a couple of tweets here by Mark Nelson from Nov. 9 A “wind drought” in Europe forced Germany to burn more coal – no choice given their rejection of nuclear power. And a protracted wind drought can happen anywhere – and does. Mark Nelson @energybants German utility execs who champion the Energiewende are starting to panic after this month's shocking 12-day wind drought . RWE CEO Markus Krebber posted a desperate plea for more "secure" power supplies this morning on LinkedIn. The situation is coming to a breaking point. Mark Nelson @energybants Looking at German electricity this week you could be forgiven for forgetting they've spent FIVE HUNDRED BILLION € on a renewable energy "transition" They're just straight up fossil powered! With high costs, high carbon, and a shrinking economy.
