Clean Energy in Germany: They Never Fail To Impress
Germany continues to impress the world with its bold adventures into sustainable energy and transportation. Their decision to get rid of both coal and nuclear means lots of natural gas, and a huge commitment to renewable energy, which, given the variable nature of solar and wind makes it hard to integrate into the grid mix at extremely larger percentages.
Fortunately, trains do no put a terrible strain on the grid; trains can move a ton of freight over 470 miles on a single gallon of fuel, or its equivalent in electrical energy, which is about 35 kilowatt-hours.
Craig,
Why do you persist in these desperate propaganda falsehoods?
Even the most ardent “green” Germans are admitting the German government long failed experiment with ” Energiewende” is in tatters with the German economy staggering over unreliable power and increase in price of nearly 500% over 10 years despite huge government subsidies and price rigging.
Nor has the environment benefited! Even Greenpeace admits German sources of power are now 70% more pollutant than a decade ago.
Reality is beginning to bite as The German coalition can now longer keep lying.
