    Filed two lawsuits with the help of another model (airline, insurance) in Europe. One took several visits to the library and a lot of secondary literature reading. Won both instanc…

    I’m just saying: stop hating bees with made up arguments

    I suppose honey bees are not native in North America pretty much the same way as the human species? I don’t quite understand why there seems to be a pretty persistent thread around…

    I’m far more concerned about a government led by people who have no formal education beyond high school, have never worked outside of politics, lack subject-matter expertise in the…

    It’s worth remembering who actually made the strategic choices that strengthened Russia’s hand and left Germany dependent and militarily weak. Those weren’t the AfD’s doing — they …

    I accept Fraunhofer’s technical modeling: they explicitly size ~500–750 GW of PV+wind by 2050 (≈6–9× average load) and still keep ~100–150 GW of flexible gas turbines plus sizable …

    Yes, they mention hydrogen caverns and thermal storage on pp. 5–6 — but those are more theoretical potentials than real, scalable solutions today. That’s why even in Fraunhofer’s o…

    Comment #45451099

    Fraunhofer’s own math says 2050 electricity demand is ~700–750 TWh (≈80 GW average load), yet they assume 500–750 GW PV + wind — that’s 6–9× average demand and 5–7× today’s install…

    So, just jack up the debt from 60% of GDP to 160% for battery packs?

    Yeah, well, it was also very much “get rid of nuclear” that accelerated this path.

    Dude, France has a fraction of our carbon emissions even of we continue to expand our renewable energy strategy - take a look at https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/de/do…

    I’d rather build nuclear plants and not keep them entirely idle but forego the investment into additional PV and wind. Don’t get me wrong: when the sun shines and the wind blows we…

    Because historically we had periods of a couple of days or weeks in a row where wind and solar were essentially non-existent: https://www.tech-for-future.de/dunkelflaute/

    Yes, we had these scenarios of 2+ weeks w/o sufficient renewable energy source MULTIPLE times: Google “Dunkelflaute”.
