OT: An electricity map for the environmentally challenged

[Adrian Caspersz]

[The Natural Philosopher]

Certainly its for the envirronmentally challenged who actually believe CO2 is an environmental issue

One notes more than half the map contains no information at all

[Andy Burns]

Even if you don't care so much about the green-ness, the connector flows look interesting ...

[Andy Burns]

There's an impressive amount of data behind that thing ...

When did Germany bring its nuclear generation back online?

[The Natural Philosopher]

It never took it off line

[Andy Burns]

it never took it all off

[Tim+]

They never all went offline apparently.

[Chris Hogg]

They've cut it back by about half since the mindless panic over Fukushima, but are having to revive old coal-fired and worse, lignite-fired plants to compensate, as it's becoming increasingly clear that renewables can't cope (no surprise there, then).

[Andy Burns]

I think "Mr Energiewende" has quit after they finally agreed a new coalition, so watch this space?

[The Natural Philosopher]

The renewable bollocks rolls on to keep the snoflakes onside despite the fact that it doesnt actually work at reducing emissions.

I've watched ten years of absurd attempts to make it work that anyone with a knowledge of engineering who did a days research could have told them wouldn't.

I dont have a huge issue with the government being run by mindless incompetents here and especially in Brussels, but when they commit blunders on this scale one really has to ask...

If it were not so expensive a mistake, it would be laughable..

[The Natural Philosopher]

The problem is they dont pay. We do.

It's just like Lysenkoism.

The government decrees, the people starve.

No point me looking without sight, do they have a text version? :-) Brian
