They do not need to supply "the rest of Europe".
The power loss in Spain was France's fault.
And has nothing to do with renewables.

Again one of your stupid nonsense posts.
Flight alone is close to 2% world wide emissions. That would actually be neglectable, if it was not about the height at which the planes fly.
Then all the other transportation comes on top.
In Germany total CO2 emissions by transport is 23%.
And your country: is far worse.
but they'll still go and have two or three kids. In absolute terms those two or three kids are the biggest factor.
No they are not.
When the kids are grown up, there won't be any ordinary ICE cars anymore.
Energy production will likely be 100% green.
Kids are not polluting the planet. Grand parents and parents did, and are still doing it.
2. the new power stations are being used as peakers, not for baseload
That is called: load following. Not "peakers".
If you want to point the finger do so, but point it at Gerhard Schroeder and Helmut Kohl, and note that both were from opposing political parties and both of them championed the end of the nuclear industry in Germany through systemic underinvestment.
That is double wrong.
Actually tripple wrong.
a) it is not the role of the government to invest into nuclear, so there is no underfunding. The plants made absurd earnings - why can the owner not invest himself?
b) Kohl was pro nuclear, but it was not his job to plan for investments - he was the farking Chancellor, not a industrial leader or policy maker for energy
c) Schroeder, Kuehnast, Tritin etc. got explicitly voted into office to exit nuclear power
Schroeder and co did their job. And Merkel, the traitor, reverted it.
This was basically the first time in German history, that a follow up government reverted the previous government's policies. On top of that: the enourmous win in the lections was about the question: to exit nuclear power for good!
What do you think how betrayed we Germans felt when she suddenly stood up and said: oh, btw. I will extend the life for all current reactors by 30 years!?
It took Fukushima, which made Merkel realize: if she does not follow the original plan, and hurry up, she has riots in the streets. No next Chancellorship.
On top of that: she also torpedoed the green revolution. Otherwise Germany's electricity would be 100% green since decades!
That is incorrect.
The shift was from Nuclear to renewables.
However Merkel torpedoed both, the nuclear exist, and the switch to renewables.
It is Merkle's fault that Germany (especially in Bavaria) build new gas plants. not Schroeder's
That decision was taken after the tsunami wrecked Fukushima and that happened in March 2011
That is wrong.
The original legislative vote took place on December 14, 2001, when the German Bundestag approved the plan to shut down all of the country's nuclear power plants within approximately 20 years.
Merkel reverted that vote.
And after Fukushima, she regretted it, and re-installed the exit.
It will be a long time before they have our average standard of living also.
They have the same standard of living as Europeans and are far beyond Americans since decades.
Under which rock do YOU live?
China is not deforesting .
They do the exact opposite.

I really wonder if you Murricans are all trolls, or some kind of brainded people?
How can it be that except "Anti China propaganda" no one of you knows anything about China?
In the recent 40 <--- fourty years, Chine planted 66 billion trees.
And since a decade they use robots for that. Plant something like a million trees per month.
Deforesting my ass.
Some other troll before you, claimed they have no environmental regulations. What a laugh.
After Japan they have strictest environmentale laws on the planet.
China gets half [50%] its energy from coal, about 20% from oil, about 15%
That is 85% - and obviously wrong.
Stupid troll, try harder.
The "leading" in the article is about yearly installations.
Try to get some reading comprehension: troll.
We have environmental laws and they don't.
They have.
You are either uninformed or a troll.
They have some of the most strictest environmental laws of the planet.
Since several decades.
So I assume you are just a troll.
Well, you posted a link that has nothing to do with our previous conversation.
I assume my account is not hacked, but: who knows?
Perhaps you want to read my post again?
Moron?
And movies in general have not much to do with reality
and literally every Uber driver drove an EV
That's because EVs are perfect for taxis. Many short distances, never far from a charging point and time inbetween rides where you can recharge in the supermarket parking lot while getting a bite to eat. And in the city, with stop-and-go traffic, EV are much better at handling that than ICEs who hate that. Plus the lower cost-per-km-driven matters even more when it's a profit margin thing.
If they need carbon for their metabolism, they get it out of the rock.
Point is: you can not carbon date them, as they are not part of the sun/CO2 C14 cycle.
I guess you can google how they might have evolved. I only know they exist, did not memorize anything special about them.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells down by the seashore.
