Hestia, that was really good. Not sure what you said but it was definitely plausible.

Anyway, back to the post, we have the all detailed numbers from Germany and we have Angela M’s policy.

Clearly the stated aim and the current status do not correlate. So the question was can anyone make any sense of the numbers and the timeframes?

If you can’t that’s OK because we can’t either.

Don’t have a brain snap over it, it really is not worth it.

I guess I’ve just set us up for another blown fuse?

Thanks for that Hestia,

Please the note the hi level of hydro power in germany twice as high than Australia which can be quickly increased to compensate for when their is no wind for the wind turbines or at night when the sun does not shine.

Per capita greenhouse emissions and oil consumption in Australia are 50% more than in Germany. Even though Australia has thrice as much wind and solar energy potential as germany.

The people on this list should show respect for Angela Merkel.

Hestia,

If Angela Merkel acts like a populist pinhead, and implements bad policy to cling to power, then she does not deserve respect. (the same goes for Juliar). I am sure that with the influence of the greens that good times for everyone will be a distant memory.

Nuclear is still the safest power generation system per kWhr.

Ummmm... really, PEST?

>>Please the note the hi level of hydro power in germany twice as high than Australia which can be quickly increased...<<

What is involved in "quickly increasing" hydro power?

Is it cheap? If so, why hasn't it already been done?

SM

Then I expect you to put your hand up for building Australia's nuclear reactors in your backyard.

With the resultant waste buried in your front-yard.

Cheers

Hestia Welcome, now no chance I will side with those you are in combat with.
I too am not sure just what your views care, you put more in to your impersonation of that Mother in law in the Email.
We Australians are not the hat over the heart people some are.
I have more respect for some here in this thread than I do, and its not easy to say, for my country's leader and opposition.
Your leader is yours not being rude but she is of no interest to most of us, it is our nature .
Pest welcome too like you both to stick around we need new thoughts ideas and my welcome is an honest one.
PS saying I respect more does not mean a lot.
