Wintertime wind and solar energy “between 0 and 2 or 3 percent – that is de facto zero,” says German power distribution professor.
Berlin’s power supply severely strained
Germany now finds itself in the dead of winter. Much of the country has seen considerable snowfall, meaning solar panels are often covered by snow and thus rendered useless. Even without snow cover, the weeks-long overcast sky prevents any noteworthy solar power generation.
Moreover, this winter there have been many long windless periods, and so Germany’s approx. 30,000 wind turbines have been largely out of operation. In a world 100% reliant on green energies, this would mean near 100% darkness at home.
Luckily Germany’s still existing coal and nuclear power infrastructure is (still) there to step in and keep the power on and the country running. This has been the case for Berlin this winter an RBB German television report reveals:
German RBB (Berlin-Brandenburg) public broadcasting recently aired a report (above) on the region’s winter energy woes titled:
Coal to the rescue
mainly from coal, and the power plants in Lausitz” are now “running at full capacity”.
Strangely the RBB report has been taken down from the archives, yet is fortunately available on YouTube thanks to wind energy protest group Vernunftkraft.de.
In the report Daniel Bartig, a mechanic at the LEAG Lausitz plant, tells RBB he is skeptical that green energy can do the job, and says “the greatest share of power is currently coming from coal.”
Green energies will not keep pace with demand
Next in the report, RBB interviews Harald Schwarz, professor of power distribution at the University of Cottbus, who tells RBB he’s very skeptical of wind and solar energy doing the job. As Germany moves to shut down its reliable nuclear and coal power plants, the gap between supply and demand will grow dangerously wide.
Physical reality “totally neglected” by policymakers
According to Prof. Schwarz:
With this supply of wind and photovoltaic energy, it’s between 0 and 2 or 3 percent – that is de facto zero. You can see it in many diagrams that we have days, weeks, in the year where we have neither wind nor PV. Especially this time for example – there is no wind and PV, and there are often times when the wind is very miniscule. These are things, I must say, that have been physically established and known for centuries, and we’ve simply totally neglected this during the green energies discussion.”
Will have to rely on foreign energy in the future
RBB then warns of the increased odds of blackouts for the region, like the blackout in Berlin in 2019.
So what will happen in the future?
The reporter says the plan is that Germany will have to rely more on natural gas (from Russia), coal power from Poland and nuclear power from France.
Green energy dumbness and obstinance on full public display.
Will they be “good Germans”, again, or stand on their hind legs and oppose this madness?
“In a world 100% reliant on green energies, this would mean near 100% darkness at home.”
Good. Freezing in the dark is a great teaching tool… really focuses the mind.
Fully agree
What did the German’s read by before candles?
Electricity
This might be a reality this winter. Following Karsten Haustein it seems the polar high pressure over most of Russia/China will split up in a week or so. With one part planted over most of Europe – should that occour – I do not see how they can sustain power throughout Europe. I was not that cold when the frequency-incident occoured two weeks ago… I hope you can monitor this over the coming week or two.This doesn’t take a “global cooling” to happen. A re-distribution of the existing colder-than-normal areas is enough. We have prepared from watching the situation getting from bad to worse over the last years.
I think we need to see this happen, but I’m worried for the short term concequenses…
Best from costal Norway. (-10 to -2 now)
Watch out for the beast

Does the internet infrastructure run on electricity?
To exercise political power you must generate disgust. You promote the view that climate skeptics are racists, homophobes (you name it), beneath contempt. When you have enough troglodytes believing it, you can do anything you want, no matter how much damage you cause, because civilized people have the feminine desire to accommodate the demands of infants. The fear you cause will keep you in power. The COVID scare is an example direct from the Communist China. Hitler was an expert practitioner.

Poblem with France’s nuclear plants is that they are needed to heat french homes as the French often heat with electricity.
I remember figures that they even imported electricity from Germany during last cold days.
