Comments by "Volker R. 🇩🇪" (@volkerr.) on "Germany hits 63% renewables in 2024 as battery storage almost doubles" video.

German 🇩🇪here. We have only storage capacity for about 40 minutes. So there’s no sense in bringing in more PV and wind. We still need a backup for all of that.

My conclusion. This guy doesn’t know anything about German energy and the big costs and the instability of our grid. And that we currently deindustrialize our country for those big companies like BASF move away and invest their billions somewhere else😢

The life lie of renewables is: it doesn’t work without importing electricity from Neighboring countries that don’t rely on renewables. 😳🤷🏻‍♀️😩😁

Germanys energy transition was mainly built on ideology and not on common sense. That’s why it’s not really working. Now Germany only serves as an example on how NOT to do it 😢

German here. We meanwhile recognized it was a huge mistake to shut down nuclear power. A big majority wants to have it back now. 😊
2
Even worse is that we don’t have no storage capacities. And we will never have them. Batteries don’t work in that large scale and hydrogen doesn’t work as well. Most projects got canceled and we actually have 0,2% of what’s needed. 😮

@ those 6 NPPs we’ve Closed down produce electricity including all costs at 2,5 Cent/Kwh. All other costs are taxes, grid fees, feeds for renewables etc. If we had switched to 100% nuclear instead we’ve saved trillions of euros for sure already.

@ nuclear power plants with reliable 24/7/365 energy production will make all that unnecessary 👋🤷🏻‍♀️

@ well that’s UK. And not Germany.

@mausr8488 it’s about planning and funding. Not about physics.

German 🇩🇪 again. In Germany nothing works with renewables. We have record high prices for the enlargement of the grid - which needs to be 4 times over dimensioned. Leaving NPPs running such a huge and expensive grid enlargement wouldn’t have been necessary.

Water power plants aren’t CO2 neutral. Especially those built with dam produce with its side effects sometimes more CO2 pollution than a modern coal power plant…

@alan2102X I have some friends working in Germanys largest electricity producer. I know what I’m talking about..
1
In 50 years we will produce electricity mainly from Nuclear power. Simply because it needs the least space 😊 Renewable energy is for transition only…

@ but wind and solar aren’t reliable. So it takes almost 100% backup. And including those back up and storage renewable is the most expensive at all. And all the unnecessary grid enlargement (4x more than with regional NPPs) etc makes renewables the most expensive electricity. And talking about the primary energy renewables only deliver 20% so far. It’s simply impossible to switch to 100% EV and 100% electric heating. Especially without nuclear energy

To me this looks like this channel is for propaganda and to brainwash people. Surely run by some green ideologists with a leftist background. Or are you guys there down under all that weird..? 😅

There’s not enough lithium to build such huge amounts of batteries.
1
All lithium mining capacities would need a multiple of 22 to fulfill the future demand of lithium only for electric cars. I’m a bit into mining business from the investors side…

@ polls regularly show that we want our NPPs back
1
The overall cost of the so called “Energiewende” in Germany will be aprox. 1,3-1,4 trillion (!) Euros. And the outcome is that we lost a lot of our industry and the energy prices are at least double as high as they should be. On average >30 Cent/Kwh is normal. And it’s heading towards 40 Cent/Kwh. With nuclear power it would probably be around 20 Cent/ KWh

@HNedel it’s all built on green ideology instead on common sense.. that’s the real problem 😳😩
1
There’s not enough Lithium to build all the batteries needed. That’s why the greens were hoping for hydrogen. But most of that projects now also get cancelled. It simply doesn’t work nor pay off 😮 we have about 0,2% of hydrogen capacities needed.

Germanys GDP would already since 2018 been in a decrease…. If the state wouldn’t have generated hundreds of thousands of new jobs for civil servants and public service. And that’s mostly unproductive jobs and most of them are only there because of tons of new regulations created by the same politicians. 😮 very ineffective as almost all what we do here in Germany 🇩🇪 nowadays. 🤦‍♀️

Wir können nach wie vor nur für weniger als 1 Stunde von gespeicherter Energie leben. Ich kenne den ehemaligen Chef von Siemens - Heinrich von Pierer - ganz gut. Der wird Dir in nahezu allem widersprechen. 😊
1
It’s a fact that with NPPs our price would be around 20 Cent/Kwh. Actually it is way above 30 Cent/kWh.
1
@reney8 it’s absolut the older and already payed NPPs in Germany which the greens closed down. Here it is 100% proven on what price they can produce electricity.
1
@reney8 as I already mentioned in another post: I know some guys from EnBW, one of Germanys biggest electricity producers. They know exactly the data of Neckarwestheim 2 for example…

@ Merkel was controlled by Putin. Russia wanted us to give up nuclear and switch to Russian gas instead..
1
@reney8 no need to store the so called waste. It’s no waste. It’s fuel rods that will be used in newer generations if NPPs and then there won’t be any waste left 😉👋
