GERMANY: Green electricity slump! Gloomy times for the energy transition - expert warns

GERMANY: Green electricity slump! Gloomy times for the energy transition - expert warns Germany is currently experiencing a so-called “dark doldrums”: wind and sun are hardly supplying any electricity, which massively increases dependence on fossil fuel power plants and expensive electricity imports. Industry representatives such as Christian Seifert are warning of increasing bottlenecks, especially in winter, when the demand for electricity increases due to heating systems and electric cars. According to Seifert, Germany's energy supply needs a “second pillar” alongside renewable energies - controllable power plants to avoid supply bottlenecks. The CDU/CSU is also calling for a return to nuclear power, while the government is backing a further expansion of renewables. #electricity #energy transition #germany #world news channel Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel    / weltvideotv   WELT DOKU Channel    / weltdoku   WELT Podcast Channel    / weltpodcast   WELT Netzreporter Channel    / dienetzreporter   The WELT news live stream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT news channel on Instagram   / welt.nachrichtensender   WELT on Instagram   / welt   On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of unobjective and offensive posts, we are currently no longer able to accept comments.
