“Slow Disaster Playing Out” As Germany Moves To Shut Down 8.5 GW Of Baseload Nuclear Capacity

At FaceBook, Dane Peter Bardland presents a chart and commentary on Germany’s upcoming rapid nuclear power phaseout.

By the end of 2022, the government will have shut down another 6 plants with a total (baseload) capacity of 8.54 gigawatts!


Chart: Presented by Peter Bardland

Yesterday we commented here that Germany will in fact be shutting down all the baseload power sources, which ironically kept the country from blacking out in 2021 because wind and solar power failed to deliver as expected.

“Disaster playing out”…”pretty crazy”

Bardland writes:

In just over a month, Germany will close 3 of its newest and best nuclear power plants and more than 4050 MW of electricity will disappear from northern Europe’s power grid. 4050 MW is equivalent to the average electricity consumption of all of Denmark.

It will put supply security further under pressure and them choosing to do so in the middle of winter is pretty crazy.
Not only will the 4050 MW of shut off nuclear power lead to more CO2 emissions, but it will cause much more pollution from the burning of biomass and fossil fuels. Next winter, Germany will close the last 3 nuclear power plants, also 4000 MW.

Anyone who has followed the energy and climate political debate, even superficially, over the last 10-20 years can see that Germany, Denmark and other ‘green crazy countries’ are doing it vigorously AGAINST what logic and science dictates.

We see a slow disaster playing out with The Greens in the lead role as the crazy villain, hell-bent in their eagerness to wipe out life and prosperity.

(PS. Buy warm clothes, food, water and candles, for the coming winter).”

On top of the baseload power shutdown madness, German Health Minister Jens Spahn said he favored a one-year complete lockdown of unvaxxed Germans. There’s definitely something in someone’s water.

    Just expensive and dangerous stupidity, at some point the pain will be enough but they can only blame themselves

      This is the first serious test for the Socialist Green coalition. Can they manage sanity? Or is suicide compulsory in German politics?

    Or in someone’s off shore bank account.

    Go ahead.

    Just looking at the today’s data how can they make this work – Coal and Nuclear are doing the heavy lifting. I guess they will have to rely on importing energy.

    Paul Brown was a nuclear physicist and a car enthusiast.

    He built a startup company called Nuclear Solutions.

    His idea was that spent nuclear fuels can be re-used/recycled to have even more electricity, nuclear batteries.

    Coal is a natural battery, an energy laden resource formed by the sun’s radiation, heat, light, photosynthesis. Coal ash is used to obtain uranium.

    Everything is from the sun.

    Nuclear included, nuclear energy just gets a bad rap when what needs to be done is to advance the technology even more.

    The Luddite Greens always have a turd in their punch bowl.

    Mocking them works the best.

    The vaccine pushers learned a lot from Jim Jones.

    When Germans go mad they never do so in half measures.

    Yet another case of the cure being worse than the disease.
    It’s becoming a habit.

    Is there a place where I can bet money on a blackout in Germany? The thought of making some money on this craziness could help me get over a frozen toe or two while I enjoy my can of beans in the dark.
