Great debunking. I'm from Germany and I have never experienced a blackout since the early 90s. The facts about the energy transition are true too. But also to mention is that due to strong fossil industry lobbying and some conservative and/or neo-liberal politicians it was slowed down a lot. Mostly these get their legitimation and votes with the same kind of misinformation as mentioned in the article. FUD and FLICC often work on people that are not willing to make their homework; and sadly not many are. Even academics are not immune.

You as a private person are the last entity to be cut off from the power grid. It’s the big consumers in the industry that are cut off first. Oh, and the fact that the grid has become more unstable is even reported by the German federal agency responsible for the power grid. According to them, there was a new record last winter regarding the number of interventions from the grid operators.

(page 8) I’m not going even to argue against all the other bullshit that the author in the original article is coming up with.

  Question: How much new Natural Uranium does it take as an initial fuel load to bring 50GW of new nuclear online per year (including using as much reprocessed MOX fuel as is possible)? What are the total world uranium reserves? How much is mined per year currently? With that in mind, how do you propose Germany provide grid stability while decarbonising?
