    You mean besides:

    • German fossil fuel electricity production is down a lot compared to the same period last year
    • Germany exported a lot of electricity to France last winter, which will likely not be the case this winter
    • German electricity consumption is down a lot

    All of that perfectly well explained in the commentary even with lovely graphs, but well lets first hate on Germany and ignore the facts. Makes life so much easier right?

      The article (as stated in the fucking title) is about how Germany will most likely need to substitute their energy grid with imports and coal power…

        No not really lol. They speculate that maybe they may need to burn more coal this winter.

        While being very clear about how speculative the whole commentary is, as it largely depends on how much wind and solar will offset.

          Of course, it’s speculation, we cannot tell the future. But looking at the graphs provided, Germany has steadily generated leas and less power in 2023. What kind of miracle are you hoping for this winter? 100 % sun hours with steady winds?!

            Winds will pick up in winter and sun will go down. We’ll see i guess. Don’t know why everyone in this thread is so fucking angry

              Because it affects many of us on such a personal level. Middle-class households in Sweden are struggling financially, much because of the energy prices.

              The environmental changes caused by burning fossile fuel are being felt, now more than ever before.

              And it fucking stings the eyes when you hear uneducated fools talk about how bad nuclear power is when it really would help us eleviate both these issues.

                  Also, the nuclear plants shut down recently were a tiny percentage of our energy mix. It is not like we were France with 80% nuclear and decided to shut it down within a year or two.

                    Everything matters! Especially when you really on net exporters like Sweden and France to cover for the slack or worse, replace it with brown coal!

                  We fucking manage our nuclear plants in Sweden and so does Finland! But no, of course, Germany can’t!

                The problem isn’t that we shutdown our nuclear power, the problem is that despite the government knowing it for decades, they didnt plan for a proper, renewable substitute. The current government has to pick up the slack from the Merkel government (and as a thank you declines in polls).

                Sadly, nuclear power isnt something you can just switch on or off.

                    Neither is Germany. If you bothered to look at the article you would see that fossil fuel energy generation is down.

                    You dumbasses build the most expensive form of energy generation and wanna blame Germany for that? U ok?

                    Are you actually this delusional to think nuclear is cheap? Have you not once googled how much electricity generation costs? Not once?

        We always need to substitute our energy grid with coal power … it’s just more in the winter.
