RT by @ProfAlkas: We supposedly still have #storage and more, said @CKemfert around 4 years ago - They should then be able to easily store the #electricity surplus. But in reality we don't have the storage capacities claimed!

I appreciate voices like Dr. Heisterhagen – rare examples of independent, realistic thinking in the SPD. It is all the more sobering how far the party has strayed from its claim as a representative of employees. Unfortunately, at this level the development is not surprising.

This “hand holding policy” must stop. Environmental behavior is a personal decision - those who are convinced act accordingly, without imposing regulations on others or demanding subsidies. Politics should focus on personal responsibility and reduce taxes.

Over 53% of the employer's gross goes to taxes and social security contributions - only around 47% remains for the employee. We no longer have 5 to go, but 5 after 12. Anyway, Happy May 1st!

Hmm, import of skilled workers with deindustrialization and unused domestic potential at the same time? This is the same as our miserable energy policy: wantonly dismantling existing capacities and building new ones at great expense. Result: higher costs as well as more instability & dependency

RT von @ProfAlkas: Die Türkei hat Indonesien überholt und ist zur größten muslimischen Volkswirtschaft der Welt geworden. ◾ Die 10 größten muslimischen Länder nach der Größe ihres BIP 🇹🇷 Türkei – 1,64 Billionen US-Dollar 🇮🇩 Indonesien – 1,54 Billionen US-Dollar 🇸🇦 Saudi-Arabien – 1,39 Billionen US-Dollar 🇦🇪 VAE – 622 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇲🇾 Malaysia – 516 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇧🇩 Bangladesch – 511 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇪🇬 Ägypten – 430 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇵🇰 Pakistan – 408 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇩🇿 Algerien – 317 Milliarden US-Dollar 🇮🇷 Iran – 300 Milliarden US-Dollar

Turkey is linking renewables to storage - operators buffer themselves, networks are relieved. 🇩🇪 builds without system logic: On sunny holidays, electricity prices fall into the negative (today, for example -€499), surpluses are regulated expensively. This is the design flaw of the random stream without a system

The messed up heating law is being made worse: politicians artificially make gas/oil more expensive, then make landlords a scapegoat for their own price increases. No landlord voluntarily chooses more expensive heating if there is an alternative! Germany's prosperity is being destroyed at a gallop

Germany's decline accelerated as it ran after children to save the world's climate! Negative effect: Children no longer see any future prospects, are traumatized and infected by doomsday myths. This kind of thing only happens in deluded societies

How can a party like the SPD, with dwindling support, dominate key energy policy decisions and even block an open-ended review of nuclear power? Who determines the course here: the will of the voters or self-centered coalition arithmetic that preserves power?

RT by @ProfAlkas: "important is the parallel battery storage requirement (≈1:1)." It's that simple. People here act as if production is everything, something that has been extremely over-promoted for decades.

Utopian climate & energy goals: We are weakening our industry while others act pragmatically. Result: less competitiveness, more dependence. Billions are flowing as digital tribute payments to US tech giants. This course makes us a laughing stock internationally

RT by @ProfAlkas: Matching this is the sharp increase in the number of bankruptcies in Germany https://x.com/thepioneerde/status/2046165736075182304?s=46

External effects are theoretically elegant, but in practice it is difficult to internalize them in an appropriate manner: relevant knowledge is distributed asymmetrically & political corrections are subject to systematic distortions, with the risk of additional inefficiencies instead of welfare-enhancing solutions

If we want to have professional discussions, personal attacks have no place. This level disqualifies any debate; under such conditions further discussion is unnecessary.

We are also using less electricity because the economy is shrinking and we are selling this as a success. Growth used to be the goal, today we celebrate decline. This is not efficiency, this is deindustrialization labeled as progress. What remains of an industrial nation is ⬇️

I love the German language and the most beautiful thing is: “In the end, the normative power of the factual always wins.” ;)

Being treated with hostility for this shows one thing above all: how low the tolerance for ambiguity is for some who benefit from renewables. Tolerance is often only valid as long as it confirms one's own bubble; Contradiction quickly becomes an enemy. =>No more subsidies for renewables.

RT by @ProfAlkas: As usual: I comment on positions, not commentators. Unfortunately, energy independence via pure renewables is currently impossible. It would be nice. Anyone who says otherwise wants to continue it through subsidies, which we all pay for. Please read the thread to the end then criticize :)

At least honestly: The energy transition lobby wants to make fossils expensive through taxes so that unprofitable renewables look competitive, then say 'the market has decided'. This is not a market regulation, this is a planned economy - and even according to a bad plan. 🇩🇪 pays for it

RT by @ProfAlkas: “We have water storage!” Yes – in Linth-Limmern or in the Zillertal. 🇩🇪? Marginal. What use is storage somewhere else if I need electricity in Kleve? Import? Economically insane: lines, losses, contracts. Without nuclear power plants, 🇩🇪 remains dependent on fossil fuels. This is physics ⚛️

RT by @ProfAlkas: Hmm 🧐, iPhone batteries solve the storage problem. Then simply connect a few hundred million cell phones to the network - the base load is ready :) It doesn’t matter that it’s neither scalable nor affordable. The main thing is that you don't confuse pocket electronics with national infrastructure.

RT by @ProfAlkas: “We don't have an energy problem, we have a storage problem” - that's like saying: There's enough water while you close the source and have no storage. Without a source (e.g. nuclear power plants) there is no inflow, without storage there is no buffer. Result: no water when you need it...

RT by @ProfAlkas: Well then, store energy for a few days for the needs of a (still?) industrialized nation. I'm curious.

Without base load (nuclear power plants), the renewable energy system remains fossil fuel. The storage thesis is a pure bet on something that does not exist economically: people plan as if cheap large-scale storage systems were already there. Technically possible≠economically real. It's like calculating with money you don't yet have - risk

State quota paradox: China 33%, 🇩🇪 52%. From an economic perspective, this is irrational. Higher government quota = higher marginal costs with falling marginal productivity of the government. 🇩🇪 pays more for less output. This is not market failure - this is state failure due to over-equipment

RT by @ProfAlkas: Installed capacity ≠ secured performance. In case of calm: limit power = zero – regardless of MW numbers. The more volatile capacity, the more backup needs. Unstable security of supply. Without storage = structurally fossil. Everyone pays for the subsidized capacity theater

Energy cannot be stored economically - electricity must be generated when it is needed. Nuclear power plants shut down, coal reduced, i.e. secured power lost. Fossils remain without storage. The Greens themselves created this dependency and are now passing it on to others. Absurd

It's a good thing that sun & wind don't write bills; Otherwise there would long ago be an exorbitant basic price for existence, cloud cover surcharges and dynamic prices: expensive if you need it, cheap if you don't - oh no, then you'll have to pay on top! Strange that some people want more

RT by @ProfAlkas: Yes, criticism of officials is sometimes legitimate, but often undifferentiated. EU jobs, for example, are well paid, but access is demanding. Problem: debates about envy instead of entitlement to performance. Don't devalue others - improve yourself. Basically everyone has the chance for these positions.

Russian oil continues to flow. While the USA adjusts its sanctions so that they do no harm, European politicians design sanctions that harm themselves the most. Find the error.

🇩🇪 has a battle of minds between ministries. The destructive dismantling of nuclear power plants, which could continue to operate for decades, is not an energy transition - it is an ideological destruction of infrastructure. This is a power struggle through ideological infiltration of ministries.

Japan & toilet culture: Toto toilets are really top quality - available from just €600. However, only in the basic version - without bowel movement diagnostics, temperature control or health dashboard. More expensive high-tech versions are reserved for the Japanese :)

Saerbeck is one of 23 places in North Rhine-Westphalia without a post office - Deutsche Post ignores the monopoly mandate without penalty. This is Germany 2026: We throw money out, companies have staff and budget, but nothing works anymore. Not just tragic. It's Shameful.
