Column: Even those who believe in large battery storage have dramatically underestimated their rapid growth. Current connection commitments already indicate a growth factor of 27 for Germany. This will fundamentally change the electricity system (whether K. Reiche wants it or not). (translated)
Photovoltaics is experiencing an extraordinary upsurge and is expected to become the most important energy source worldwide, while German researchers are working on groundbreaking technologies. (translated)
Cheaper, built faster, more sustainable. Wind and solar energy are surpassing nuclear power worldwide. Batteries as storage are becoming increasingly cheaper. Gas and later hydrogen will be used for peak loads and periods of low generation. Nuclear power is too expensive, requires water, and produces waste. (translated)
Already now, as the warming in Europe begins to gain momentum due to climate change, many nuclear power plants are going offline. This technology cannot compete with wind, solar, and batteries. In the transition, gas helps in the short term, and nuclear power plants are useless for that too. (translated)
In an interview, Adam Tooze analyzes how China's industrial policy and technological progress, especially in the areas of e-mobility and renewable resources, pose competition for Germany, which is still adhering to an outdated model of the automotive industry, and warns Europe of the necessity to adopt a more strategic and interventionist approach to industrial policy in order to face the rising power of China.

Der "echte" V4 Supercharger zeigt erstmals, was technisch möglich ist. Der Elektrotrucker der alte eLKW Veteran lädt seinen Mercedes eActros am neuen Standort bei Freiburg gerade mit 391 kW. Tesla gibt dort offiziell bis zu 500 kW pro Ladepunkt an. ✅ https://t.co/ypc5DyNw9s #V4Supercharger #Elektrotrucker #Energiezukunft
There is no doubt, solar energy is the energy of the 21st century. The countries that respond quickly will have an uncatchable lead. It was the same with coal and oil. We still have good chances. A zigzag course now can put us in the group. (translated)
Almost no one invests in nuclear power or e-fuels. Small modular reactors would be significantly safer, but their electricity would still be more expensive than that from large nuclear power plants. Fusion is still basic research. Therefore, the rule is: invest in renewables or be slowly left behind. (translated)

India, China, and the USA have optimal conditions for enormous solar and storage facilities in the gigawatt range. They are now being built there. Cheaper, faster, and safer than new nuclear power plants. The competition is building there. Here, there is too much talking. Time is running out for us. (translated)
