Renewable energy problems in Germany.

9/16/2019

Comments

 
Michael Schellenberger is a pro nuclear environmentalist. He writes about the impracticality of renewables and the practicality of nuclear as an alternative. In this article in Forbes he has picked up on a report on renewable energy in Germany by McKinsey, a respected research and analysis firm. The report points out the lack of progress on CO2 reduction and the daunting problems that lie ahead for increasing German renewable energy adoption. It does not have an agenda other than analyzing the situation. The report does not advocate for alternatives. 

Reports like this should be taken seriously but In our highly politicized world the various camps will either ignore it as its conclusions  conflict with their aspirations or use it to advocate for their preferred alternative like burning fossil fuels or switching to nuclear. 

Stratosolar is different than nuclear in that it lacks an advocacy group promoting its benefits. Unfortunately for nuclear, despite significant advocacy support it has lost broad political credibility and is in decline. Stratosolar is simply solar without the problems. It should be attracting support but it lacks credibility without a working proof of practicality. Unfortunately proof of practicality needs financial support which depends on proof of practicality.
