An anticyclone is a low pressure area, that rotates anti clockwise. Unlike an cyclone that is a southern hemisphere phenomena that is rotating clockwise. Hence the names.
If you want to talk about periods of no wind then call it like that.
And again: Europe, and even small countries like Germany or Denmark are to big to have 'no wind' on a meaning full timescale.
It is pretty clear in the table that the US don't count children that are born 'to early', where the pregnancy was to short. No idea what you are talking about.
Hu? You have the timescale in reverse order. France first 'went nuclear', then installed a big tidal power plant. And now is replacing the failing nukes with wind and solar. (1/3rd of Frances nukes are right now shut down because of safety issues)
If you want to say 'storm' say storm. The word 'anticyclone' is only understood by people who are sailing or flying, and hence have an understanding of 'weather slang', Hint: on the northern hemisphere, we have no 'anti anti cyclones', if we talk about cyclones, we call them cyclones. I guess no one actually knows in which direction low pressure zones rotate... (I mean, unless you are an weather expert)
But my point actually is: there are no storms thinkable that would shut down whole Europes wind plants. First of all, Europe is to big for that. Secondly the shut down wind speed for a wind plant is around 135km/h! This is rarely exceeded... get a damn clue.
And... but long nights are everywhere at the same time in Europe Look on a damn map. Being in the same time zone (which we are not, just for the record) does not make it night at the same time all over Europe.
a) germany has a so called base load of about 40% of peak b) nuclear power used to provide about 20% of peak c) meanwhile we produce about 30% of our power with renewables, hence nuclear has to power down to 10% - we are phasing it out anyway (at night, otherwise we would pump more energy into the grid, than is needed) d) germany has not build 'new coal plants to back up renewables'. We have huild very few new coal plants and decomissioned old ones in parallel.
France btw. is silently decomissioning its nuclear power plants since minimum a decade. They move to renewables just like Germany does. Current contribution is already in the 15% range. They are building wind and solar installations all over the place. Because: they are cheaper than nuclear power.
Screw French though; I suspect Mandarin is going to be much more valuable to have as a secondary language, and a lot sooner than most of us were perhaps expecting. Hm, hard to say. The french bonus is: french girls are definitely hot. And on top of that Paris is such a multi culture thing, you basically find hot girls from all over the world. Including China. On the other hand, with Mandarin, you are limited to China. And there basically only live chinese girls. Many of them are hot, too! But depending on region they do not really trigger the hottness reaction in most european eyes. So: start with French, hook up with a Chineese girl in Paris, then learn Mandarin, then found an trade empire in China, then rule the world. Unfortunately there is no 'america is great' in that story:)
You must be an idiot. Muslims are winning what? The religion war? Most Europeans are atheists. What do we care what religion an immigrant has? Rape is a serious crime, and luckily happens rarely. Most rapes happen inside the family or people that know each other. The likelihood that a fresh immigrant, living in a 'concentration camp' rapes a citizen is basically zero. If you plan to rape one, I suggest to look up what the word 'affect' means in german, and how it is treated when a rapist 'suddenly' meets a relative of the victim.
WTF, are you really an idiot? Spot prices have nothing to do with consumer prices or any other long term contracts.
And as pointed out: consumer prices are falling. Industrial/retail prices are stable since years, and the spot market is for random surplus power sales and needs.
The spot market prices are completely irrelevant for a household customer.
Well, at those times a CD costed the equivalent of our days 30$ Now they cost less than 10$ And as I buy most of my music, hm... actually all of it, on iTunes: I have most of the time a digital booklet. What was this article about again?
Water power is about 1% of germanies power production. Biomass is not much higher. That is actually easy to google.
In an EU wide market, actually spanning over into Mongolia and China, we don't need "backing up". However most of the time it is cheaper to power up a local coal plant than to buy power from Russia or Mongolia.
I simply don't get what your crusade is about.
Germany over the course of a year produces roughly 30% of its total power via renewables. That is a matter of fact.
Your ranting wont change it, and we will continue until we have 100% covered by renewables. And your ranting wont change that either. So what is your damn point in posting random days where the production of power by wind and solar was particular low?
During week days the residential consumption goes down. EVs help mitigating spikes from renewables. How EVs charge at night does not matter. Even if they charge from coal it is over 100% more efficient than burning gasoline in an ICE car.
Germany has right now not much offshore wind capacity. To have an objective opinion about your dates (a link would help), I would need to know what was going on at those times.
Strom fronts are not a big issue... for wind mills to shut down the storm must be very server...
And as you likely have noticed: we sill have most of our old power plants. So why would anyone care?
On weekends the demand for household electricity is the highest. How you want to compare that with the week when everyone is working, is beyond me. EVs will 'increase' demand for electricity. But decrease the demand for gasoline. I put increase in quotes as renewables provide already right now enough power to charge all cars of germany (if they where EVs) at night... so worst case our base load increases and moves from 45% to 60%? Who cares when base load is fully covered by renewables?
Slashdot Mirror
France has not many places where a tidal plant makes sense.
So what is your point?
I doubt the official plan how France wants to become more 'green' is on wikipedia ...
I suggest to look up what tides are.
Even in your country you might have a lexicon, dictionary or other means to learn the meaning of a word.
An anticyclone is a low pressure area, that rotates anti clockwise.
Unlike an cyclone that is a southern hemisphere phenomena that is rotating clockwise.
Hence the names.

And again: Europe, and even small countries like Germany or Denmark are to big to have 'no wind' on a meaning full timescale.
You mean except the points that what they say is wrong?
E.g. the claim Germany had increased its amount of coal plants?
Or power produced from coal?
And why don't you grasp that the EEX has nothing to do with consumer prices?
It is pretty clear in the table that the US don't count children that are born 'to early', where the pregnancy was to short.
No idea what you are talking about.
Probably he means that he is accepting the Duke of Normandie's claim to rule over whole France?
Neither tidal nor wace power is intermittent.
You should really get a clue about the stuff you are posting since a few days.
Hu?

France first 'went nuclear', then installed a big tidal power plant.
And now is replacing the failing nukes with wind and solar. (1/3rd of Frances nukes are right now shut down because of safety issues)
We are working on that with Smart Grids and Smart Meters.
So a washing machine or dish washer etc. can shut down when supply is low.
If you want to say 'storm' say storm. ... (I mean, unless you are an weather expert)

To pay 50% income tax, you need to have a very high income.
I doubt a mere university professor has such a high income.
Sorry mate, google what the EEX is and how it works.
You are simply wrong.
Spot market prices have nothing to do with either industrial or household power usage.
They are irrelevant for 2 year long consumer contracts.
Because they are used to 'buy on the spot' hence the name 'spot market'.
WTF, are you really an idiot?

I suggest to start reading german sources. No idea where you get you strange numbers from.
Well, ... actually all of it, on iTunes: I have most of the time a digital booklet.
at those times a CD costed the equivalent of our days 30$
Now they cost less than 10$
And as I buy most of my music, hm
What was this article about again?
They don't correlate at all.
Consumer prices are flat rate prices fixed for minimum 2 years.
I don't care what the price at the spot market is, I never see it, I never react to it, I never pay it.
Water power is about 1% of germanies power production. Biomass is not much higher.
