The study was from 2005. I can find it, if you want.

No. The problem has been known for decades, but governments simply ignored it. That's why there's so much noise about hydrogen in Geramny. It's used to whitewash the natural gas.

LOL. Can't find any modern research can you? I love how the nuclear bro crowd never wants to step into 2025 and instead keeps living in the past.

Nah. There's so much noise about hydrogen because the fossil and chemical industries in Germany rely on hydrocarbons. They want another complex gas based system to profit from.

We will likely keep a fleet of gas turbines around for emergency reserve duties for the coming decades. But you are trying to paint the emergency reserves as if they would be the entire grid. When they very much are not.

I quoted newer research in the next post. For your information, the article was actually from 1997.

And if you don't like the old research, the first investigation of the greenhouse effect was done by Svante Arrhenius in 1889.

And the second largest consumer of natural gas in Germany is household heating. It has to be replaced by electric heating, but it's not feasible with the current generating capacity.

No. Germany will paint gas turbines in green color and then keep burning natural gas from Qatar, the USA, Nigeria, etc.

Which is why we're expecting a large increase in grid size coming from renewables. Of course ignoring that heat pumps are amazing.

Running out of arguments are you? Maybe you should read up on the ETS scheme in Europe? That is a component of why fossil gas electricity has become expensive in Europe outside of being forced to use LNG.

But you seem to prefer putting the blinders on to working in reality.
