The cost of non-renewable backups are never figured into the renewable plans. It's just assumed they'll be there. Because they are there. You don't to build new power plants to have "back up". You already have them... you are silly.
Europe has winter all over, a bit of wind somewhere isn't enough unless we have orders of magnitude overcapacity. What is that supposed to mean? Many typos? Yes we have still winter... and hence we have a lot of wind!
Everyone pays for the grid, and you only pay for the power you use. Traditionally in the past both costs were rolled into one regulated power price but in the future the only way it will be fair is for these costs to be itemized out and billed separately. Done like this in Europe since decades.
Silly idiot. Hot sommers cause droughts... obviously. Hot winters cause more rain, obviously.
California is more dominated by El Nino and La Nina and the changing period between than by "global warming" at the moment anyway. Hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How do you come to the retarded idea that a fine is used in a social policy project? All social things like unemployment insurance, pension insurance, health insurance are founded by income of the people insured. The state or any extra money the state might make by fines is not involved at all, idiot.
A civilian pilot does not have the reflexes of a fighter pilot to fix things if the computer is misbehaving Actually they have. However the plane is super heavy and has lots of inertia, the engines are relatively weak. And a plane that size reacts slowly to the stick...
Blind or otherwise disabled voters have a counselor who votes with them together.
And, now the american system is not similar/the same, you punch holes into the paper. And the first as well as second Bush vote counters disregarded all votes for "the other one" where the paper had no full hole as: unclear vote.
And the people who come voting are counted/registered. So if you have more or less papers in the ballot than people on the sheet of paper, you know something is wrong.
You still seem not to get the fact that: Germany is a country. China is a country. USA is a country. Huwai is a company. Telekom is a company. O2 is a company. Vodafon is a company.
Germany has no influence where and from who the companies above are buying equipment. And the time of "us versus them", especially as you mention "communist" all the time, is long over. My next phone most likely is no iPhone (they don't make good ones anymore) but a Huwai.
Also, more CO2 output because of all the natural gas they burn to backup their wind. Double wrong. Our CO2 output sank drastically. There was a 1% raise from 2016 to 2017, or 2017 to 2018, I forgot: due to cold winters and more CO2 produced due to heating. Germany has not many gas plants anyway, so actually tripple wrong.
Also, molten salt loops only last 6 hours. Not an especially useful grid scale backup storage mechanism. You need at least 80 hours worth to backup a grid, Perhaps you want to look at a demand curve... why would anyone want 80h backup is beyond me.
When PG&E says they will get 50% of their power from renewables, they are calculating nameplate capacity only. When a power company says it produces 50% of its power by renewables than it so. Perhaps they have twice or thrice the name plate capacity installed, what do YOU know?
The highest contribution to solar power btw. are cold sunny winter days, especially weekends when the industry is sleeping... we had plenty of days were all our power was green.
At night, or when it's cloudy, they have to import power, sometimes at outrageous prices. Why would we import power at night? At night power demand is around 40% of midday peak... go figure. Power imports are not particular expensive... you have no clue about the european power market.
Basic statistics does not apply to tow incidents... moron.
However it applies if you have about 20 common planes used by mayour airlines and no real crashes since a decade and suddenly 2 of the same type crash during identical circumstances.
Hint: except for USA that plane type is world wide grounded.
Most countries don't have a 24 business hours circle of life. The shops in Germany that close at midnight are just a hand full. Everything else closes 20:00 or 21:00 and opens in the morning around 8:00 / 9:00.
Same for France or Thailand, and I doubt rural USA is any different.
"actually believe we DO "get an extra hour of daylight" rather than just shift the clock." Because you actually do get an extra hour of daylight, or are you used to get out of bed at 4:00? Idiots all around, I don't get how people can be so stupid.
I get up between 9:00 and 10:00: so I get an extra hour of daylight. YMMW...
Dude, DST was introduced in germany around 1975. Shops usually closed around 18:00/19:00. In summer it gets dark around 21:00. Shops activate lights around 20:30 and keep them on till about 22:30. With daylight saving time hey save one or two hours of electric light. For a whole country, that adds up.
Not to mention homes where people like to sit outside and do not need electric light because: uh, it has light longer in the evening, wow, that was so easy.
Sorry, no one can be so dumb not to grasp this simple thing.

At the moment producing hydrogen makes it as expensive as gasoline, so it makes no sense.
Are you a paid troll? Or why do you utter that myth?

Would not be possible in Germany.
The votes are counted at the place of voting, in the same room. The box never moves anywhere.
Blind or otherwise disabled voters have a counselor who votes with them together.

Well, but the fox can easy make an easy recount.

How much baseline energy can the US get from pumped hydro?
ZERO. Pumped storage is not used for baseline^H^H^H^Hload ...perhaps you want to read up what base load means.
Also, molten salt loops only last 6 hours. Not an especially useful grid scale backup storage mechanism. You need at least 80 hours worth to backup a grid, ... why would anyone want 80h backup is beyond me.
Perhaps you want to look at a demand curve

30cent is greatly exaggerated. ...
And household power prices are dropping
Germany is a net exporter of power. They days we import more than we export are extremely rare.
Here you can play around: https://www.energy-charts.de/i...

True. That is why so many don't grasp global warming ... average temperature increase of 1C or 2C has complete different meanings for every location.
Basic statistics does not apply to tow incidents ... moron.

Why should the UK and USA risk their mil secrets with a Communist German BND?
The BND is a west germany thing and not an east germany/communist thing.
Perhaps you mix it up with MFS?
For Uber you don't need location tracking.
That a map app might need the location is obvious. So: what has it to do with the topic?
Exactly, and hence using the photo for AI research would be a breach of copyright ... for funk sake, work on your reading comprehension ...
