Of course it fucking will and us Swedes ends up short-ended to pick up the slack of a nation making uneducated child-like decisions that we didn’t even get to vote on or even have as much as a say in!
It’s Nordstream all over again, thank you very fucking much!
Thankfully, Finland recently completed a new nuclear power station that will help us both this coming winter.
Nuclear isn’t the final solution. But it beats burning brown coal by a large margin. This combined with the push to go full EV is a simply a bad strategy. They are “going” to shut down their fossil plants by 2045. But meanwhile the air pollution of these plants is also staggering seeing how much NO2 these guys put out. Sadly there are a vast amount of people applauding these decisions
pollution reffacts coal mines
Germany didn’t have anywhere near the amount of nuclear power plants or lifetime left in them at the end here that keeping them running would be even worth discussing and building new ones would be the kind of thing that only matters in 2045 because that is how long it would take.
German fossil fuel electricity production is down a lot compared to the same period last year
Germany exported a lot of electricity to France last winter, which will likely not be the case this winter
German electricity consumption is down a lot
All of that perfectly well explained in the commentary even with lovely graphs, but well lets first hate on Germany and ignore the facts. Makes life so much easier right?
Of course, it’s speculation, we cannot tell the future. But looking at the graphs provided, Germany has steadily generated leas and less power in 2023. What kind of miracle are you hoping for this winter? 100 % sun hours with steady winds?!
Because it affects many of us on such a personal level. Middle-class households in Sweden are struggling financially, much because of the energy prices.
The environmental changes caused by burning fossile fuel are being felt, now more than ever before.
And it fucking stings the eyes when you hear uneducated fools talk about how bad nuclear power is when it really would help us eleviate both these issues.
Nah you just all fell for the same altright idiots like us germans.
You wont struggle. And even then, why are you blaming germany and not your own fucking politicians. Grow up.
Also, the nuclear plants shut down recently were a tiny percentage of our energy mix. It is not like we were France with 80% nuclear and decided to shut it down within a year or two.
The problem isn’t that we shutdown our nuclear power, the problem is that despite the government knowing it for decades, they didnt plan for a proper, renewable substitute.
The current government has to pick up the slack from the Merkel government (and as a thank you declines in polls).
Sadly, nuclear power isnt something you can just switch on or off.

Bad choice of words when talking about Germany.
Germany didn’t have anywhere near the amount of nuclear power plants or lifetime left in them at the end here that keeping them running would be even worth discussing and building new ones would be the kind of thing that only matters in 2045 because that is how long it would take.
You mean besides:
All of that perfectly well explained in the commentary even with lovely graphs, but well lets first hate on Germany and ignore the facts. Makes life so much easier right?
The article (as stated in the fucking title) is about how Germany will most likely need to substitute their energy grid with imports and coal power…
No not really lol. They speculate that maybe they may need to burn more coal this winter.
While being very clear about how speculative the whole commentary is, as it largely depends on how much wind and solar will offset.
Of course, it’s speculation, we cannot tell the future. But looking at the graphs provided, Germany has steadily generated leas and less power in 2023. What kind of miracle are you hoping for this winter? 100 % sun hours with steady winds?!
Winds will pick up in winter and sun will go down. We’ll see i guess. Don’t know why everyone in this thread is so fucking angry

It’s not the Swedish state that’s replacing nuclear with coal you fucking moron
Ig you haven’t read up on some “long term storage” facilities already leaking and failing after mere decades due to cut corners?

Also nuclear is not something we (germany) could just get back on short term.
Nuclear isnt at all the silver bullet yall make it out to be
We fucking manage our nuclear plants in Sweden and so does Finland! But no, of course, Germany can’t!
