It is not quite as bad yet, but it's running out.
We do not freeze to death in German, pretty cozy here.
It is true that we export to France atm electricity, because these blockheads heat their homes with electricity.
Energy transition of failure

Energiewende vor dem Scheitern: Stromkollaps mit Ansage – den Verbrauchern drohen höhere Preise - weiter lesen auf FOCUS Online: http://www.focus.de/immobilien/energiesparen/energieversorgung-stromkollaps-mit-ansage_aid_712742.html
The energy revolution devours its children: Before Germany's phase-out of nuclear power is also only partly completed, he threatens to tilt again.There are signs that the transition to a power supply that by 2022 nuclear energy and completely without having to 35 percent on renewable energy and enjoyment will not work.
It rumbles more violent on several fronts. Citizens fight back in many places, however, that arise in their near new wind turbines and much-needed new electricity highways. There is even a name for the new type of protest: "Nimby", derived from the initials of the English "Not In My Back Yard".
First bottlenecks
The existing network, the power company already struggling with shortages. It is estimated that one third of German electricity network operates at the limit, calculate the network operators even with emergency shutdowns. And they also warn that they can not easily build new lines, as would be necessary by the rapid expansion of solar and wind energy. Increasingly, it is possible that renewable energies can not be fed into the grid, because it does not have the necessary capacity.
The time is running out Germany also elsewhere because even in two to three years threatens an acute bottleneck when many old, weak and effectively become unprofitable coal and gas power plants are decommissioned. Overall, nearly 20 gigawatts of thermal power such are missing after a new study by Goldman Sachs.
In addition due to nuclear power plants switched off a minus in power supply. The study lists for northern and western Europe, how much gigawatts of energy which is re-installed and how much will be eliminated. The result is startling: While two years ago there were reserve capacity of 13.8 gigawatts, this buffer will be gone in 2015.
Especially in the south of Germany where the major consumption centers are, many nuclear power plants are still running, it may become critical. All this will drive electricity prices up by about 30 percent, the study says.
