For this matter power engineers should have a final say, as they work with the grid on daily basis. Reality is way more complicated: basing your grid on multitudes of inverters is a vision/dream. Reason being that it is a whole new machine. Grid is like a train going at

The EU Parliament will vote tomorrow on whether it should be illegal to call this plant-based burger a 'burger.' This is madness. Everyone can tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a meat one. Sign the petition now: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusion-…

German dependence on natural gas is a direct consequence of nuclear phaseout which was prioritized over coal phaseout. Many GWs of new gas capacity is ordered by Habecks government, and coal phaseout in 2038 depends on the succes of these projects.

Spain’s grid operator has quietly taken further measures to stabilise voltages. On Oct. 1, it asked solar and wind farms to increase and decrease their generation slowly (previously, they were allowed to go from zero to 100% in 2 minutes; now, they will have to wait 15 minutes).

Worth reflecting on the fact over-precaution about nuclear power and GMOs increased catastrophic risk to humanity.

69 years ago stalinist regime in Hungary lost "the mandate of heaven", what followed was massive protest revolution and a swift "brotherly" invasion from Moscow. To this very day Moscovites try to convince the world that people they are invading are unrully "brothers".

Morgen sollen die Kühltürme des AKW Gundremmingen gesprengt werden. Heute erscheint unser neuer Bericht zu den Folgen des Atomausstiegs: Bis Ende 2023 gab es ☠️ über 19.000 Tote infolge zusätzlicher Luftverschmutzung durch erhöhte Kohleverbrennung! (5x mehr als die Schätzungen

Gundremmingen NPP towers were destroyed today. A testament to a failed energy policy as the site will become a natural gas power plant now. Germany has very little own gas so an expensive import will replace that nuclear unit. What an utter failure and waste....

Canadians are invited to bid for a 2nd nuclear power plant in Poland. Thats for the site in Bełchatów, largest Polish lignite power plant and mine, with 100% support of local labour unions who see this project as an opportunity for a just transition when the mine closes 2036.

Good news from Spain, where an uneven yet epic struggle to save nuclear power plants from premature shut down is still ongoing. Lots of gas intrests will be upset when Almaraz is allowed to operate longer. This is good news for the climate and for Spanish energy security.

Przykra sprawa. Środowiskowo taka wycinka może nie mieć żadnego sensu bo jeśli np teren jest jeszcze podmokły to po osuszeniu emisje CO2 będą ogromne.

Such a powerful interview with the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk on the risk of a permanent forever war in Ukraine, unless the world steps up. Ukraine is prepared to keep fighting for another two or three years, but no country should have to face a decade of war. As Tusk

Taiwan going back to nuclear power would be the best Xmas gift for everyone involved (sans some coal and gas traders missing out on their bonuses). But at what price?

37 mld $ to nie jest wcale jakaś duża kwota żeby w 15 lat ludzie nie musieli gotować jedzenia na węglu drzewnym. Owszem , LPG to paliwo kopalne ale deforestacja to dużo gorsze konsekwencje środowiskowe i zdrowotne dla ludzi tu i teraz.

Złoto.

A lot of people think "there's a lot of fusion fuel and less radiation, so fusion power will be really cheap". But that's not necessarily the case. It may be that after we get fusion working, it stays very expensive for a long time, maybe forever! nickmcgreivy.substack.com/p/fusion-isnt-…

Jensen Huang’s interest in bringing AI data centers to Germany doesn’t come from the country’s economic health or stability of its energy supply, it comes from the sheer dollar value of the German economy. In nominal GDP terms, Germany is the third-largest economy in the world.
