Here in Hungary, 90% of electricty mix is putin 🤣( 36% putin’s nuclear fuel, 44% putin’s natural gas) as his slave orban prohibited building of wind turbines, makes solar investments unpredictable, insecure, and we dont have any fast rivers for hydro

we may all say a big “THANK YOU!” to Philipp Rösler (FDP) and Peter Altmaier (CDU) for both destroying the German PV-industry, establishing the “Solar-Ausbaudeckel” and the CDU/CSU as a whole to block and hinder wind power for over a decade very effectively.

And their very hard work to make Germany overly dependent on fossil fuels, to keep it that way and therefore blow ALL climate goals appears to be a success model, as the CDU/CSU are currently winning the public opinion with that intend, whilst those trying to follow the steps of our european neighors are slammed into the ground (just as our PV industry).

In other words: Germans don’t want clean air. They don’t want a future.

But I know I know, it’s not viable because night time exists (Even though so does artificial sunlight and batteries)

Also fans exist so you can just blow those at the wind turbine.

Wait are you proposing to run solar via artificially created sunlight in the night?

Wouldn’t it just be simpler to siphon off some energy from your perpetual motion machine?

You’re still using perpetual motion machines? Bro do you even siphon energy directly from The Ether with your mind?

Good cherry picking about “current mix” and not something along the lines of “current cleanest mixes”

Even worse, as he is comparing a cherry picked current mix with the german total over 6 months (Jan to June), Germany’s current mix is very similar to the current mixes he has shown.

They’re Germans. Reluctant to change, stingy and stubborn. I love you Germany but everything isn’t about saving a buck by any means necessary.

Without Germans the world would still think solar energy was just for satellites.

ehhh Germany is buying less gas from Russia since they invaded Ukraine, which means that gas is more expensive and renewable energy is likely a more viable option. In no way would I thank Russia for that.
