Watching with great interest. 2021 power shortages and significant reduction in power PLANNED by German government policy.

The link below top chart is Available Capacity. The next chart is the kicker in my thoughts. 8000mWh 2020 and 2021 dropping to 2370mWh from German Nuclear plants. Something has to give IF this chart is even close to correct!

German power generation

IF GAS was reduced as it is being presently or to reduce C02 emissions the reduction capacity in German Power will impact on house holds and German industry. The BIO mass generation is a WOW, Burning chook poo! Not kidding "The BMC Moerdijk power plant processes one-third of the total production of poultry litter in the Netherlands each year. BMC generates 285,000 MWh of electricity through the incineration of manure, enough green electricity to meet all the power needs of a city the size of Den Bosch. BMC also produces 60,000 tonnes of high-quality fertilizer through the thermal conversion of poultry litter. In spring 2017 CE Delft published the results of a scientific study into the use of poultry litter for electricity production. The researchers extensively compared the effects of large-scale thermal conversion like the process used at BMC with other ways to process this type of manure. CE Delft concluded that the use of poultry litter for energy production is the most attractive method from an environmental perspective." The whole study seem to only compare chook poo used in four ways and barely touched the giant in the room C02 emissions.

If green power is needed burning chook poo, oil, Gas and coal are far from low C02 unless compared to high emissions methods. Appreciate Bio mass can be used in hydrogen pyrolysis by some smart WA company

The 2023 NO nuclear energy in Germany seem to be so close to proving what not to do except hold on to your hats and shares in appropriately run Nuclear sector companies or EFTs.

5km run- shower time and off to work for this black duck!
