While Trump is holding rallies claiming that wind turbines do not work, I am looking at the realtime view of Danish power generation…

Total electricity consumption: 5817 MW
Total electricity production from wind: 6436 MW

@randahl And BTW that's almost at night, because I see just 1MW from solar cells.

@randahl I envy countries that are not landlocked. Offshore windmills are a game changer. Here, we have to mix PV and expensive (but reliable baseload) nuclear power.

@randahl Trump’s mouth produces a lot of wind though

[vnkr@mastodon.social]

@mirano @randahl wind blows over land as well.

@randahl I read today that German Energy giant RWE ist focusing on their US business, as renewables are actually booming. My buddy, politically a independent, who was a drill-baby-drill guy is installing PV this week. Trump want this to stop, but it doesn’t work.

@FrancoisPrague @randahl incl. a lot of hot air. He good basically heat a whole district with a single speech.

[lefthandmonki@mastodon.social]

@FrancoisPrague @randahl The problem is that it’s very hot air that can destroy sensitive electronics

@randahl Not much need for oil fired electricity generation there. And the reserve can charge electric car batteries
