Coal Keeping Germany From Freezing As Snow Covers Solar Panels

"German RBB (Berlin-Brandenburg) public broadcasting recently aired a report on the region’s winter energy woes titled: “Germany’s green energies strained by winter.”

The report acknowledges that all the power is “currently coming mainly from coal, and the power plants in Lausitz” are now “running at full capacity”.

    Hello,
    here in Germany the "AntiFa", the communist fascists are attacking coal power plants. Here are nearly only idiots, so I love you Atlas Society People! I have the original american Atlas Shrugged Book near my bed. Sometimes I read some pages before sleeping. If I have the book read up to the end, then I read it again from the beginning! ;-))>>

    Best wishes, good health and very much success, best regard`s

    Hans

    This comes as no surprise to me. There is a large field of solar panels in my Michigan hometown. Whenever it snows, they are covered. Can't they even produce enough energy to melt the snow off themselves, so they can then produce net power for the grid?

    Once Again, France, using Nuclear was always more green than Germany and their stupidity.

    Liberal Ideas always sound great until they meet reality. Like the dead birds at the base of the wind turbines. (The ones my brother said don't exist because the RPMs are so slow... Until we did the math together, and he realized the tip of the blade moves much faster, facts...).

    Dang that racist Mother Nature! That fickle white European goddess needs to go check her privilege.
    This discouraging whims of the weather story will definitely be ignored by all the Green New Deal's obedient Fake News puppets.
    All those thousands of laid-off oil line workers promised the payday rescue of nonexistent solar panel jobs can't feel more cheated than they are.
    They no longer have union bosses paid-off to tell them to vote Dem the American economy all to hell.

    I'm thinking spraying an amount of micronized coal on the snow covering the solar panels would be enough to restore power generation. Less fuel used, not consumed, and you can vacuum it up for the next go-round. Effective, nearly pollution free application. Am I stupid or what?

    Thanks for the ref.
    There are times when a good belly laugh is needed.

    Is this poetic justice? It seems the myth of AGW and the steps they took to combat it are being thwarted by a freezing cold natural winter.

    Side note: Those acres of solar panels here in Western NY (a long way from Germany) subsidized by taxpayers are all buried in snow as well. I wonder how that's working out. I guess ice build up on wind turbines around here can be a real PITA as well (it was 8 degrees F this morning).

    Edit add: The article states Germany may need to fire up nat-gas turbines and get the gas from Russia. I figure by the time the Xiden administration gets done, we'll be needing Russian nat-gas as well.

    If only they had gone with the big hideous wind mills they would have bee free of fossil fuels and still be kept warm. I know this because the left has told me so. :)

    If these idiots would recognize they don't know anything, we might manage to recover from all this baloney.
