How can you take an article like this seriously? No one builds wind farms and expects them to run 24/7.
The author cites an article on "wind droughts" and ignores that these go hand in hand with rising temperatures and droughts. Rivers getting warmer and dryer is very bad for nuclear power plants, but if you write a biased article, you don't have to mention this.
The quote that nuclear energy could replace "30 percent of the Russian gas" is also completely off.
Then the author claims the Energiewende ended Germany's "energy sovereignty". No sources. Germany has been steadily decreasing fossil fuels, increasing renewables - I'd like to see a justification for this claim. How is not relying on Russian uranium worse for your energy sovereignty?
It mentions rising electricity prices and now I'm quoting the IEEE source for that claim:
> The average cost of electricity for German households has doubled since 2000. By 2019, households had to pay 34 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour, compared to 22 cents per kilowatt-hour in France and 13 cents in the United States.
The consumer price comparison is pointless because Germany taxes electricity heavily. They should compare production cost. Germany is only slightly above Euro-zone average (which you can explain away with higher purchasing power) and only slightly more expensive than France, which makes me believe these people are just measuring inflation and don't want to admit it.
