Deutsche Bahn (German Rails) is doing this right now with tracks in use

No, what's creating the problems is the gas and coal lobby that dug into the conserveratives (CDU) and social democrats (SPD) to prevent the Energiewende from completion by creating burocratic and economical hurdles.

For example, it was forbidden to have more than 50GW installed capacity of solar. By Law.

oh and also destroying the industries building the solar panels, therefore losing the entire market to China…

This is the correct take from my perspective. The same happend to: - biogas - solar - offshore wind

It doesn't matter when the energy is basically thrown away right now and therefore free. It's called Einspeisemanagement (EisMan or EinsMan).

At the moment: Windy & sunny day? Just throw the energy away! Future: Windy & sunny day? Store the energy for a rainy day!

It's in the windy month while in the non-windy month solar takes the lead.

Germany is doing Sektorenkopplung, so attempting to switch everything over to electricity.

This is done because electricity is more efficient and we will use less total energy for the same effect. E.g. a heatpump can make available 3-5 times it's consumption of electricity as heat, where a gas stove can only reach 1.

The plan is to use the plenty of excess renewable production to generate hydrogen and then burn that in the gas plants. Therefore, all gas plants qualifying as "green" have to be able to burn hydrogen.

These unusual fluctuations are in fact usual and they can be planned for. https://www.energymeteo.com/products/power_forecasts/wind-so...

In 2011 ENERTRAG had a constructed a system to use a windpark to produce hydrogen and burn this in a gas/fuelcell plant. But since a change in the EEG Umlage Gesetz made them pay for their own energy produced by wind, it became unprofitable to do so.

If that sounds idiotic to you, that's because the change in the EEG was created to make exactly this impossible.

Thank you for your voice of reason in this bubbling sea of uninformed nonsense.

The EEG Umlage had also been payed by renewable producers which made storage unprofitable in Germany. ENERTRAG was kneekaped by this afaik.

Amazing! My webpages are all gone afaik.

I think these are reasonable suggestions from a perspective of someone who wants this site to become better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hello, good work.

Please investigate if you would like to work for this company: https://www.energymeteo.de/ueber_uns/jobs.php

Frontpage Express was getting so slow when you edited large tables... what a time to be alive.

It all started to go downhil when Xi decided he wanted to become the Chinese Kaiser.

China is building out mostly solar and wind.

Its only mid-november til mid-february that really sees a strong dip in production.

Germany had a Solar buildout cap at 50GW because of our coal lobby.

/remindme 10years

Top five countries with the highest wind energy capacity in 2020

    China – 288.32 GW. ...
    United States – 122.32 GW. ...
    Germany – 62.85 GW. ...
    India – 38.63 GW. ...
    Spain – 27.24 GW.

She surely will…

Indeed…

Recently, my iPhone went dead because it had no charge left and the music started to play from the watch via AirPods

Will do.

No they really don't. I have been standing in a farm of Enercon turbines on nearly full load and it's actually rather quite. The wind in the trees is louder.

There are zero Goldwind based turbines in Germany. ENERCON, Nordex, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa all the things!

I live here and I love them.
