And that is even without the energy produced from the wind farms.
Before we drop Millions (let’s be realistic, Billions) into a technology that will be ready in 10+ years and bind us to a supplier from a country probably ending with *stan (supply chain risk, anyone?) and ignore the unsolved trash issue, maybe take the money to upgrade the existing grid and move to a decentralized, locally produced energy system that can’t be taken out with a 5k drone…
The grid is getting upgraded. If you take a look at all those big projects like those north south lines, they are currently in construction and will be finished in the next few years.
You know what would actually help more than these straw arguments? Upgrading the fucking grid.
Bavaria alone was unable to distribute 1 Twh of solar energy in 2024, because the grid is still neither flexible nor strong enough.

Pfff 1TWh is only 1000 GWh. 😜
/joke just in case.

Yes. But that doesn’t mean building nuclear plants is easier, somehow.
The argument seems pretty clear to be the opposite, that it is way better to upgrade the grid.
Yes
