"The decision announced by the Federal Network Agency, according to which the coal-fired power station Moorburg will cease power production after 5 years of operation by the operator Vattenfall, will make the power supply in northern Germany a lot less secure. Because on December 31st In 2021, the Brokdorf nuclear power plant will also be shut down due to the Nuclear Energy Phase- Out Act .

After that there are no more large power plants in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein that could compensate for the strong fluctuations in wind and solar energy. That was the main reason for the construction of the 1600 MW Moorburg power plant, as the former Mayor Olaf Scholz explained in the remarkable inauguration speech:

    “The prosperity of an industrial society depends to a large extent on whether it succeeds in generating or procuring the required energy and keeping it available. In such a way that it is firstly: reliable, secondly: economical, thirdly: sustainable, environmentally friendly, and is available to companies and consumers ... Hamburg also and above all has many large electricity-intensive consumers and the city is proud to have them here. She cannot and does not want to do without them. Whether steel, copper and aluminum, but also aircraft construction or science companies such as the German Electron Synchrotron, DESY, they would all have a hard time in Hamburg without a reliable and inexpensive power supply ... with a high degree of utilization of what we can extract from the earth. " "

How stupid can you get.

At the moment Germany is in the top five engineering countries of the world.

If the have no power to manufacturer all the wonderful things that they do to keep the world ticking over, I'm afraid they will sink very quickly along with their economy.

They better start praying for wind and rain....LOL

I guess Germany knows something we don't know. They seem to be operating quite well towards their cleaner power.

Burning Jews again?

Germany just imports power from neighbouring countries as required.

Only cheap, safe, Thorium power can save the World:

And as more turn to renewables the excess when required will probably not be there.

Yeah, but I think the Frogs are staying with nukes as their "base load" supply?

The French have vowed to close 14 their 58 reactors by 2035, with possibly 2 by 2025-26 and also closing 4 coal fired plant by 2022.
