Solar biggest source of electricity in Germany in June 2019
Let&#x27;s not forget that:<p>- CO2 emissions of Germany is still 5 times more than a comparable (similar GDP&#x2F;flatness&#x2F;weather) than France for <i>electricity production</i> [1];<p>- Electricity production is roughly a third of all final energy and CO2 emissions come mainly from coal and fuel [2]. Two threats for which Germany has done very little for now.<p>- Germany is spending around 2 billions of dollars [3] for renewable energies, whereas it would have cost more than 50x less with nuclear, allowing to spend the rest of this investment into building insulation and thermal renewable energies.<p>- PV investments were computed from past market prices, not with the negative price obtained with non controllable source of energy [3]. Germany is only at the beginning of energy subsidies.<p>Investing in photovoltaics is politically efficient, not environmentally efficient. Please let&#x27;s stop to focus on renewable electricity. Let&#x27;s start focusing on carbon-less solutions. The hard problem is about coal and fuel.<p>The situation could not be more urgent, since conventional oil has reached its peak. Not removing our dependency on oil is strongly damaging for our economies. Focusing on non controllable sources of energy is just accelerating the damages.
