wind power fail, dropping to a minimum of only 1 GW, under 5% of of its capacity.
Wholesale prices for electricity spiked to almost 100X to £4,000/MWh. Fire up the coal plants, or its blackout for Climate Confab!

If those morons just turned their already-existing fission plants back on, they'd be fine.

now we have wind droughts ffs. what will they think of next?

Wind power for the grid is the dummest thing ever. For every wind turbine, some sort of back up is required in case there is no wind. Very few options of electricity generation can be turned on and of on a whim. Most take hours or days to ramp up or down.
Germany increased there power producing capacity by 86% over the last few years, but power production only increased something like 6%. That's a lot of potential just sitting there idle doing nothing.

Yep, and when the wind does blow, and all that capacity starts to produce, the power grid also becomes totally unstable. Where will the power go? If nobody needs it, every outlet becomes overloaded and very bad things can happen. This is why Germany has to pay people to take their electricity when the wind blows. Germans are paying for the use of the power, paying for other countries to supply them power when the wind doesn't blow, and paying for other countries to take their power when the wind blows too much. Fuck the kikes.

Reminds me of that scene in "Y the Last Man" - talked about recently in an article on here - about how the female president had to sweet talk the only fucking remaining nuclear scientist (another feeemale LOL) into turning on the power grid....

That's not how it happens sister. A scientist rarely has the smarts and knowhow to actually operate shit, and one person would not be able to run the entire power grid, because no matter what the power generation capability is, unless the load matched it, the whole system would trip again anyway.

Just wait until everyone plugs their cars in.
