15. Yes, I know very well what apologists for the German burning of coal in 2024 say. I hear it all the time.

It's all soothsaying bullshit with no connection to the reality, typical of the type, delusional and quite toxic.

No amount of information can change their faith based rhetoric or their dogma. They are as realistic as people waiting for the return of Jesus.

The German coal consuming antinuke hellhole for 2023:



Electricity Map

Germany has decided to kill people and the planet with coal waste in order to endorse a pernicious antinuke fantasy.

As of this writing, noon EST (US) 11/09/24, German carbon intensity is 532 grams of CO2 per kwh compared France's 63 grams of CO2 per kwh.

Germany's disgusting carbon intensity at this moment would be higher, but they are importing 3.3 GW of power from nuclear powered France, and 495 MW from nuclear powered Sweden.

Their wind garbage is operating as of this moment at 3.22% capacity utilization, producing less power (2.2 GW) than they are importing from France, and way less power than they are generating from coal (18.6 GW).

As I pointed out in the OP, the fucking wind garbage on this planet is falling apart as fast as it can be built.

Congrats to the world of soothsaying antinukes. I'm sure they're very proud of themselves:

Week beginning on November 03, 2024: 423.28 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 419.38 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 396.91 ppm

Oh wow. More soothsaying. The unit of energy, as people should learn in high school, is the Joule, not the Watt. NNadir Nov 2024 #26
More nonsense OKIsItJustMe Nov 2024 #27
