Electricity Map, Germany

The capacity utilization of all the wind turbines in Germany is 4.84%, producing 2.97 GW of instantaneous power.

Germany's last three reactors, due to be shut in favor of coal and well, um, Russian gas, are producting 4.18 GW power, running at 101.18% capacity utilization.

The largest source of electricity in Germany this morning is coal, 24.8 GW of instantaneous power.

Germany's neighbor, France has a carbon dioxide intensity of 78 g CO2/kWh.

In "percent talk" the German carbon dioxide intensity is 535% higher than that of France.

The German Engeriewende was never about climate change or about dangerous fossil fuels which cause deaths even when they operate normally. It was, rather, to attack the world's most reliable form of scalable extremely low carbon form of energy, nuclear energy.

Suddenly, they're no longer fond of that company for which the ex-Chancellor of Germany, Gerhardt Schroeder, is an executive, Gazprom.

Apparently in Germany nuclear energy is "too dangerous," Putin's wars, funded by fossil fuel money, billions upon billions of Euros from Germany, are not "too dangerous." It appears climate change isn't "too dangerous," either in the German calculus.
