  1. Geothermic is not sustainable in the amounts of energy we need. The area around geothermic sites tends to cool down reducing efficiency to the point of having to close it down. This is the thing we learned in 50 years of using it. You simply cannot reliable satisfy the needs of a highly industrialized country like Germany that way. And I shudder by the idea what could possibly go wrong. Like creating seismic issues or worse solidifying earths core which would be the end of all life on the planet.

  2. I shudder by the idea that high-energy beams can be directed anywhere on the planet. What could possibly go wrong.

  3.  @alandworsky8926  Are you sure? Let's say all power is generated from geothermic energy (assuming it's possible at all). How do you know that pulling this much energy is not reducing magma viscosity? Maybe just some percent is effecting the cores magnetic field. It doesn't need to stop rotating it would be enough if it slows down. Let's say the chance is 1 to 1 Trillion. Do you have a 2nd earth because if something is happening we are effed.

  4. The UK reduced investments in favor of Natural Gas power. This is the real reason for the current issues.

  5. The idea is to make green hydrogen and transport it around like LNG currently is.

  6.  @sarahbrown5073  It works with LNG just fine ... why shouldn't it with hydrogen?

  7. It's not a failure. Still running and every year there are more of them. But Germany has the same problem it had 10 years ago: It's not the most sunniest place on the world. And making green hydrogen large scale so it can replace the blue hydrogen made from Natural Gas simply isn't viable.

  8. 1/3 renewable and counting. Watt-wise Germany is one of the top renewable energy producers on this planet ... but for a highly-developed country with a lot of industry it's just not enough. And the key point here is getting hydrogen ... not electricity. Hydrogen can be made from natural gas and with that called blue hydrogen or from renewable energies by electrolysis which creates green hydrogen. Hydrogen is what some of the industries need in lack of natural gas. But there is not that much energy to make Green hydrogen large scale viable in Germany.

  9.  @meilinchan7314  Well thats fiction. We live in reality.

  10.  @harukrentz435  Well it doesn't need to be solid. Just reducing viscosity of magma would be devestating. And a volcano would not be same as hundreds or thousands of power stations pulling terra-watts of thermic energy out of the magma.

  11.  @brynphillips9957  You are right I don't know. I am not an expert and I am not building power stations. The only thing I demand is to make sure there is not the slightest chance you slow down the rotation of the core in case you large-scale start to use geothermic energy. Or create earthquakes.

  12. I wonder if LNG gas terminals can be retrofitted to transfer hydrogen instead.

  13. If you incalculate damage created by climate change into the price of fossil fuel it isn't anymore and get more expensive each year.

  14. They already do. Never heared of the EU Energy market. Germany provides wind, bio and some solar, Spain more solar, France nuclear, Scandinavia more wind and potentially tidal.

  15. Ridiculous. The storages are now 95% full as planned. It lasts at least one winter with some saving measures potentially a little longer.
