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 “honey bees are invasive and harm the ecosystem by stealing

By ‘standard valuation techniques’ you mean: regular companies produce value and wealth and represent what a society can create whereas crypto is like ‘a shiny object sitting there with people trying to gauge how much someone is willing to

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 came from the CDU–SPD coalition governments, the same lineup

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 batteries for reliability (pp. 5–7). They target ≥95% cuts i

by looping__lui 1y ago
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 own scenarios we still see 500–750 GW of wind + PV (6–9× aver

by looping__lui 1y ago
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 installed base (p. 15). On top of that, they still need 100–150 GW

So, just jack up the debt from 60% of GDP to 160% for battery packs?

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 cover 100% of our need essentially. That’s great. But we ca

Yes, we had these scenarios of 2+ weeks w/o sufficient renewable energy source MULTIPLE times: Google “Dunkelflaute”.

You factored in a new grid and backup nuclear plants/gas power plants requiring >100B investments in Germany or Tesla Megapacks in excess of 100 metric tons? Take a look at what is needed to make Germany “green” by a reputable and

by looping__lui 1y ago
Germany would require a ballpark of 100 MILLION tons of Teslas Megapack grade batteries to run on battery for 2 weeks - which is even shorter than what we had to endure due to “Dunkelflauten”.

Take a look at this study: https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/de/documents/p... Germany will require 100-150 GW capacity which cost about 1000 EUR/kW and would require an investment

by looping__lui 1y ago
Because it’s not correct. You need either nuclear or gas (like 100% capacity, idle most of the time) in addition to massive investments into the grid to make it work (at least in Germany). I don’t understand how people seem to NOT understan

In Germany: probably not so much when wind and PV aren’t busy for a month straight and we still need to keep our industry up and running. We’ll, I’ll take that back - we probably solved all that by running our economy into the ground

Well, you gonna pay for building gas power plants that never run? Customers will need to pay for gas power plants that cover the entire electricity need (read up on Fraunhofer on the thinking: https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/c

Tell the Fraunhofer about that.
