KlimaNachrichten<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Frank Bosse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, the time has probably come: For years, the situation has been growing that “business as usual” is hardly possible. So far, it has been possible to keep a lot of physics and engineering knowledge away from decisions. Thus, the “energy transition” has been driven forward since 2012, it amounted to subsidizing the “panacea” “renewable” energy (RE) more and more with gigantic investments. What was achieved for the alleged goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practically nothing, the CO2 emission factor has been stagnating for 6 (!) long years. A lot was built on, but this left practically no trace on the result. The money for this is literally burned, through carbon burning, which has to support the RE again and again and blows the climate-damaging CO2 into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2025, another event was added that shows the limits of renewable energies as they have been used so far. The “Iberout” on 28.4.25.
We had reported about it here<\/a>, among other things, and its “deep” cause: An intrinsically tending to instability due to too few integrating masses and too many inverters (EE!) in it, which do not have this “reassuring” property. The problems were also brought to the attention of the “solar pope” Prof. Stefan Krauter (and he was instructed, because deep down he probably hoped for completely different results) in very detailed lessons, 3 in number.
Here you can watch part 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite often this picture was shown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle the quintessence: At the top left the “classic” power grid with voltage levels, the generation by large turbines with corresponding masses. A disturbance by whatever leads to a damped vibration (green), it is therefore always controllable. The “new” network is shown in the upper right corner. Turbines gone, many wind turbines, a lot of photovoltaics (PV) at different voltage levels. The overall “work of art” net is becoming increasingly difficult to regulate, in red the escalating reaction, which in the end also led to the “Iberout”. You can also make something like this manageable, according to Dr. Fette.
But this requires a lot of new know-how and corresponding further investments.
The “renewable energy grid” will thus become even more expensive and potentially at risk of blackout until a solution is found. Nothing for today and tomorrow. But we also have such a net, we had already pointed out the dangers. The “Berliner Zeitung” also devoted itself to the challenge and sang the same tune:<\/a> “Trembling before the bright breeze”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson: As before, it does not work objectively in terms of regulation, no matter what which politician thinks and says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first steps have been taken, and the “traffic light” has probably already been lit<\/a> up in September 2024 when it cleared the way (again) for “Carbon Capture and Storage” (CCS) technology. It was initially even banned (“Greens: Poison is being buried<\/a>!”) in Germany, although it was also expressly recommended by the IPCC AR6 WGIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an insightful article in the “Welt<\/a>“, Axel Bojanowski pointed out the esoteric nonsense that was carried into German energy policy, especially by the “Greens”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The grotesque special path was initially paved by the deeply rooted esoteric culture in this country, skilfully exploited by the green environmental movement in terms of power politics and always benevolently accompanied by reliably opportunistic media \u2013 in contrast to foreign countries<\/em>.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That seems to be over in large parts now (thank God). First step (actually, probably out of necessity, already seen by the “traffic light”): More stability in the grid also through more integrating control components, introduced by turbines with rotating masses in gas-fired power plants. The new Minister of Economic Affairs, K. Reiche, announced it very quickly after taking office<\/a>. She is quite rightly “urging”: Until then, a “net time bomb” is ticking and there is practically no time left at all. Together with CCS, such power plants can also do a lot for the climate: Of all fossil fuel burns, gas releases the least CO2 and this can also be captured with CCS. That is now allowed again, the ban was rather completely crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And: one gives up the resistance against European nuclear power plants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subline of the “Tagesschau”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The reassessment is unlikely to change the nuclear phase-out in this country<\/em>.”<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

sounds a bit like “singing in the woods” by politically “harnessed” journalists. What you think is okay in France, for example, shouldn’t objectively work in Germany? That’s nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thesis: The third pillar of the IPCC’s recommendations (nuclear power according to RE and CCS) for climate-friendly energy generation is also being used again “on the long run” in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there is no other objective way to achieve climate targets. The past (and now the present) shows this more than clearly. The time of esotericism in energy production is hopefully now coming to an end. The good thing is that physics and engineering cannot be persuaded to do anything. And esotericism has no place in technology. It is just as bad if the Greens maintain an approval of homeopathy<\/a>, but it cannot have such devastating effects as here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what else you read and hear where, this has now also reached decision-makers in Germany.
The “crossroads” now came late and hopefully in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
