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 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…

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 …

Comment #45451379
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 …

Comment #45451298
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…

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

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/
