Leading Renewable Energy Expert Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt Declares Germany’s Green Energies Have Already Failed

By Josef Kowatsch

Germany’s Energiewende (transition to green energies) has failed, says Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, to strong applause in this lecture https://eike-klima-energie.eu/2022/04/20/

 

Why? According to the coalition agreement, the coalition government wants to expand alternative energies s even more, but at the same time also build 50 new gas-fired power plants to stabilize the fidgety power supplied by sun and wind.

Do you see the problem? Without the balancing electricity-gas-fired power plants, any alternative wind turbine expansion is pointless. An expansion of alternatives requires even more gas. A gas stop would also cause the transition to renewable energies to fail because the gas-fired power plants that have already been built would no longer run.

But the German people are not told this, and unfortunately the press does not write it either.

It’s unbelievable how policymakers, who are managing the energy supply of a highly industrialized country – and who are courting Greta Thunberg as a consultant – are rushing down a highspeed autobahn on the wrong side in the wrong direction, thinking everyone else is going the wrong way.

Or is Germany to be destroyed on purpose?

    I agree, intermittent energy requires 100% backup as a key requirement is 24/7 power. No industry or business can run on power that is only available when the wind is blowing. A wind powered grid would force rationing of power during months which are not windy and daily rationing depending on wind speed.

    The German electric power grid will need to expand (roughly doubled) if the German transportation is electrified.

    German CO2 ‘savings’ does not include the 20% energy lost to install single pass turbines compared to 20% more efficient combined cycle (which produce steam from the waste heat from the first pass turbines) natural gas power plants.

    The combined cycle power plants cost twice as much and take 20 hours to start and hence cannot be turned on/off/on/off/on/off multiple times per day in respond to changes in wind speed.

    Power output of a wind turbine varies as the cube of wind speed. Wind speed changes throughout the day.

      “No industry or business can run on power that is only available when the wind is blowing”

      The wind farm industry can, almost !
      ha ha

      Power output of a turbine is zero at low wind speeds below their cut-in speed, usually in the 6 to 9 mph range, and also zero at extra high wind speeds (shut down to prevent damage).

      If there is ice on the blades, electricity from other sources will be used to defrost the blades. Assuming they are equipped with optional blade deicers (the blades will not be allowed to be moved until completely deiced).

    I think I’ve figured out a way to debunk all this CO2 causes warming nonsense. It is claimed that CO2 increasing from 270 ppm to 410 ppm has caused warming of almost 1 degree C OF THE VAST OCEANS. The chart shows warming of over 1 degree C between 1910 and 2017. Water has the highest specific heat of all common molecules. CO2 is extremely cheap and easy to produce. If higher concentrations of CO2 can cause warming, why aren’t we warming homes and pools using CO2 insulation? Why aren’t CO2 cylinders exploding from the accumulation of heat? Atmospheric CO2 is 0.0004 or 0.04% of the atmosphere.

    Bubble wrap of 0.4% CO2 could warm water by 10 Degree C if the linear relationship exists that they claim.

    Basically, if anything they claim about CO2 is true, our energy problem is solved because all you would need to do is insulate things in CO2 to warm the surroundings. No engineer I know of has considered this a viable solution and they could make trillions.

    “Or is Germany to be destroyed on purpose?” Unfortunately, if Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset is being implemented by the German government, the answer to this question is YES. The problem with this dystopian vision of the future is that, after the destruction of the economy and infrastructure, what is going to be left to enable the country to be rebuilt, and who is going to do it? Certainly Schwab and Co. have never had dirt under their nails.
