It will be an important link in Germany's new power highway, a network of transmission lines that will send electricity generated by wind farms in the north of the country, and offshore in the North and Baltic Seas, to the manufacturing belt in the south. Osterath's residents reckon it...
the power line is necessary for the energy transition in order to transport wind power from northern to southern Germany. Proponents of coal use consider the power line superfluous. However, many critical citizens, having founded citizen initiatives, believe the ...
The chart comes for aWall Street Journalcolumnby Bjorn Lomborg. Here are some excerpts. The claim that green energy is cheaper relies on bogus math that measures the cost of electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. Modern societies need around-the-clock power, requir...
Wind power became Germany׳s dominant power source for the first time in 2019, despite the sector׳s expansion falling below 2 GWe (Amelang and Wehrmann, 2020), with the root causes of this collapse being sought mainly at regulatory problems, as almost 11 GWe were stuck in bureaucratic ...
It has introduced a major stimulus program for sustainability and innovation and intends to increase its offshore wind power capacity target from 15 to 20 GW by 2030. There are two main problems hindering the further expansion of wind power in Germany, however. One is that wind ...
From the start, it was plagued by various mechanical problems that were never resolved. The fact that RLM was never interested that much in such a project did not help either. As it would take considerable time to fully remediate all the noted issues, the project was abandoned in favor of...
"The green transition might end up becoming a Chinese transition in Europe... Just look at solar cell or wind power sector, a lot of that has been taken over by third-country investment," she said. The new European Commission, which takes over on Dec. 1, plan...
In addition to the known health consequences, air pollution can also lead to skin problems, especially on the face. Ozone, for example, can trigger oxidative stress, which in turn damages the skin's barrier function and can cause inflammation. Fine dust and nitrogen oxides can also attack the...
These are my thoughts on the problems with the Morven Wind Farm. Everybody is assuming that there will be a large cable to bring the 2.9 GW of electricity to the Scottish coast somewhere near Aberdeen. Cables can be a problem as the article indicates, with connection to the grid and the...
During late April, Germany's energy regulator said the country needs more coal power. That's surprising news, because its leaders have long bought into global warming alarmism. But it again highlights the problems that arise when green rhetoric on energy runs into reality. To lower carbon emiss...
