US is much more favorable for renewable energy than Germany, lots more wind, solar and hydro potential. How can we not be doing at least as well. There’s no technical reason. No practical reason. No economic reason. Just a bunch of gullible people manipulated by fossil fuel companies, a bunch of gullible people manipulated by outrage media, a bunch of gullible people manipulated by politicians. Idiots. All of them. Or evil
Yeah, I wasn’t trying to knock Germany. I’m German. But it’s far from 100%, we still have lot of coal (even worse, lignite) plants … and building more gas power plants. It’s just not an example if a 100% renewable country. Iceland was (but that got me downvoted, lol).
Anyway, it’s just lemmy. At least the debating about nuclear power doesn’t get you banned :S
As a resident of a US state with very little potential for renewable energy, we’ve been trying. Solar is gangbusters, but a few idiots keep blocking offshore wind and we’re at the mercy of other states for blocking us from building transmission lines to get some of that sweet Canadian hydro (probably just as well, given our current idiotic federal govt)
Yeah. I’m not gonna bother discussing this with you. Please start reading at get off of telegram and 4chan. I suggest wikipedia or other “mainstream” sources of information. Good bye
If you think Germany is running on 100% renewables, you need help way more than I do.
59% over the entire year is a damn good start

You should take your own advice. It’s a pretty simple thing to look up.
