Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%

• DrunkenPirate@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  In other news, Germany imports quite some percentage of its electricity from other countries, like nuclear-produced electricity from France. So, in a sense and to a degree, it outsources the emissions to other countries.

  That is simply not true. You might get an update of the actual state of energy production AND imports va exports here: pv-magazine.com/…/germany-hits-62-7-renewables-in…

  My memory fails me, so it may have been different gas and different purpose than electricity. Anyway, it came as a very poor taste.

  Even this is not true or just blabla at least. It’s Biogas, gas made out of animals poo, plants and other degradable things.

  I strongly suggest that you either check sources before posting a comment. Or just stay quite instead „there was something I heard somewhere…“

    Found the source (if wiki can be considered):

    It was NOT bio gas, it was Natural gas (i.e. russian gas).

    Natural gas is seen by some countries as the bridge between coal and renewable energy, and those countries argue for natural gas to be considered sustainable under a set of conditions.[47] Germany in particular was a strong supporter towards its inclusion in the taxonomy, moreover advancing a request to the Commission to further ease environmental restrictions on its use.

    Now piss off with the revisionism.

    Electricity imports also rose to 24.9 TWh, driven by lower generation costs in neighboring countries during summer. France (12.9 TWh), Denmark (12.0 TWh),…

    True.
