The Last 30 Days of German Electricity Production, Carbon Intensity and "Percent Talk" Sources.
The graphics below come from the Electricity Map for Germany set at the 30 day average, from November 8, 2022 to December 8, 2022. They show that despite having a nominal capacity of 67.3 GW, spread over many thousands of square km, the wind industry in that "renewable energy" nirvana, actually produced an average continuous power of 4.66 GW of that thirty day period, for a capacity utilization of 6.92%.
The average continuous power of Germany's three remaining nuclear plants, occupying three relatively small buildings, which have the lowest carbon intensity of any form of energy in Germany, and which they plan to shut, was 3.65 GW, in "percent talk" 78.3% as much as all the wind turbines in Germany spread, again, over thousands upon thousands of square km.
For the 30 day period, the carbon intensity of the "renewable energy" nirvana of Germany was 698 g CO2/kWh.
This compares with France's 162 g CO2/kWh, even with France's once magnificent nuclear infrastructure suffering from years of neglect - so France could fund wind and solar junk with the receipts - and more or less on life support. (France's average continuous nuclear power output was 38.9 GW in this period.) Had its nuclear plants been properly maintained France would now be much closer to zero carbon intensity, but the French under Jospin, Hollande, and Macron (at least in his first term) drank the wind and solar Koolaid, at the expense of all humanity.
The graphics for the German electricity, for each form of form of electrical energy generated in that country, coal being the largest, follow.
