We export more than we import so Net 0 on nuclear. But yes the European grid is one and needs to keep balance, so there is constantly "sell" and "buy"
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.
As long as there isn't any fission in Germany its good, and i hate the fact that our asshole neighbors build theirs directly at our borders.
Nobody should rely on stuff that needs imports
Doesn't the solar cells need some materials we need to import?
We can "import" that stuff but the necessary materials reduce with every generation of cells and the materials can be sourced locally (within EU)
