Short: Earth would be like mars.

Can you explain this? Do transitional winds not cover mornings (the most energy heavy time of the day) rather well?
There are times in the year, which are called "Dunkelflaute" in German and in this time you have both: No solar energy and no wind energy. This mean, in this time you have a greater demand than produce.
Another problem is that the main demand of energy (privat households) is between 5 pm O'clock and 10 pm o'clock. At this time frame, you have usually lesser solar energy, while the peak of solar energy is during the noon, when the main part of people worked.
The problem is: How to store the energy for later use?
I don't think so.
The postings of a specific individual are not important for great companies. Its the mass. They search for patterns and want to use this patterns for advertisment or to lead your use of the internet. The postings or information of one single individuum may be not even necessary after the analyis. And even if they could use them for some purpose, after 5 years or so, they arn't current anymore. In this time, there will be 1000s of users who spend their data.
Companies exist to make money.
Therfor, it isn't a great problem, tbh.
The gouverment my spyy on us just to have as much information as possible to get profiles but companies need you as possible customer. If you never use the side againt, they would not find any use of the data and to store it makes costs. So, they probable delete them after a certain time.
That would be an inversion of the current trend that withe collar work become replaceble with AI but blue not.
Nobody should rely on stuff that needs imports
Doesn't the solar cells need some materials we need to import?
Whats the point?
If fediverse ever replace reddit (or other services), the, let it call, "problematic" user will just find out and comes here.
IMHO, it appears that a certain amount of internet trolls, "creazy writers" and all that problematic stuff is even necessarly to a degree. Its a sign of a functioning online space. Just as tabloids/the yellow press in the classic press and books of questionable quality in the book market.
We export more than we import so Net 0 on nuclear.
That doesn't mean something. As it is currently not possible to store energy for later use, "we" (Germany) export energy for a negative prize. That mean, we (Germany) pay € to some of our nightbors in order to get them to import our energy surplus. The advocates for the Energiewende just cuts the 2nd part of. As it appears, to make it sound great. Is it actually great?
Maybe, in the future the Energiewende will turn out as great. From the knowleade of our current situation, there are not facts which justify such a inference. We need to wait in the hope our bet was good.
Yet again, renewables prove the naysayers wrong. This time last year people worried Germany couldn’t cope without Russian gas.
And this isn't entirly wrong. Germany is in one of the biggest economic crises into a livetime. Maybe even bigger than 2008 worldwide. And one big issue with this are the hight energy prizes.
Instead, efficiency measures and renewables mean Germany will never need Russian gas again.
Germany, like the United States for that matter, still imported gas! There are even claims that Germany in fact still imports Russian gas with a middleman.
The renewables have big yet unsolved issues with the problem of timing. Renewables produces energy if the wind blows and the sun shines, not when people actually demand energy.
I still see plenty of people arguing that 100% renewable powered grids are impossible - yet here it is happening, right in front of our eyes.
Seriously, I would not bet on the casestudy of Germany for that. I could be backfire horrific.
‘Star Trek’ depicted a humanity that moved beyond money, and where society was devoted to exploration and the advancement of knowledge.
And this is, tbh, considered really unrealistic, even by the mayority of the fanbase itself.
Doesn't work on my device.
Thats true.
