Germany's weak winds stoke Europe-wide power market worries
Wind power generation in Germany - Europe's largest wind producer - is on track to record its longest stretch of below-normal production since early 2021 due to a spell of low wind speeds since October.

GB energy generation at 9.14 this morning. 70% gas - no wind or solar!!
This is why we need nuclear power to achieve net zero.

The now well-known phrase Underway on Nuclear Power was first transmitted by flashing light at 11:00 a.m. on January 17, 1955, as the submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571) made history as the first sea-going vessel of any kind to be successfully powered by a nuclear reactor.

Welcome to netzero!Yesterday National Grid issued a Notice of Insufficient Margin,& prices 4 electricity soared above £3000/MWh.17:00 last night,with wind & solar generation low,nuclear was generating with a carbon intensity of 5gCO2eq/KwH,gas at 68% capacity had a carbon intensity of 490gCO2eq/KwH
